Wetherspoon acquires Brown’s for expanding hotel brand

By James Russell: Wetherspoon acquires Brown’s for expanding hotel brand

July 11, 2014

Brown’s Hotel, the 17th century coaching inn in Tavistock, Devon has been acquired by JD Wetherspoon for its burgeoning, now 30-plus strong, hotel brand.

The 21-bedroom, award-winning, coaching inn was sold by specialist property adviser Christie + Co.off a guide price of £1.5 million for the freehold.

In addition to being Grade II listed, Brown’s Hotel holds a 4-Star Gold Award from Visit Britain, 2 AA Rosettes for food quality and a host of other awards given to both the hotel and its team in recent years.

It has the added attraction of being located in the highly-regarded market town of Tavistock, recognised as one of the gateways to the increasingly popular Dartmoor National Park.

Matthew Smith, Director of Christie + Co’s Exeter office handled the sale. He says: “Brown’s Hotel is an excellent acquisition for JD Wetherspoon and fits well with its growing hotel portfolio. The hotel has a long history of offering high standards of service to corporate and leisure clients, who return time-after-time to sample both the hotel’s high quality service and the obvious delights of the surrounding area.”
