Hornsbury Mill in Eleighwater Somerset sold to a new owner

This week, the former mill sold for an undisclosed price. The period building was originally a nineteenth-century corn mill, which was converted into a four-star hotel that has retained many of its historic features.

The hotel includes 10 ensuite letting rooms, a bridal suite, landscaped gardens with a lake, and modern outbuildings, which make it a highly popular venue for weddings and events.

The previous operators have owned the business for the past 17 years, over which time they extensively refurbished the property. They recently decided to sell to focus on other pursuits.

Hornsbury Mill has been purchased by local operators, who will continue to operate the business.

The building set across four acres in Eleighwater. Hornsbury Mill lies close to the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Sam Roberts, hotel broker at Christie & Co, who handled the sale said: “We are delighted to have secured a buyer for this delightful hotel and wedding venue in Somerset. The business generated a lot of interest during its marketing campaign and found its buyer relatively quickly. We wish the new owners continued success and thank the outgoing owners for entrusting Christie & Co in handling the sale of their long-term business.”
