CTA member Coast & Country Hotel Collection, a newly-formed collection of former Shearings Hotels, is set to reopen under a new brand aimed at showcasing the great locations of the properties incorporated within the portfolio.
The hotels are spread across 33 leisure destinations in England, Scotland and Wales and include the Windermere Hotel in Windermere, The Caledonian in Fort William, the Highlands, and the Ship and Castle in St Mawes, Cornwall.
Many of the hotels, as their collective name implies, are within areas close to coastal or rural attractions and offer clients a base to visit established regional tourist attractions or take part in active outdoor pursuits so much in demand after months of lockdown.
“Given the enormous challenges of the last few months, we’re delighted to bring such a wonderful mix of properties back to market,” says Paul FitzGerald, portfolio managing director. “Many of them are well-known within their areas and their initial closure was felt keenly amongst their respective communities. Now though, we’re able to offer not just jobs and wider tourism opportunities through reopening, but a hospitality service that people can engage with as restrictions lift.
“With the country having been unable to enjoy the delights of hospitality for so long, everyone is eager to enjoy themselves post lockdown, and as people are starting to realise these properties are reopening, we’re already seeing keen interest to book – something that bodes really well for their future success.”
Alongside the hotels, the portfolio will also include Derwent Manor Apartments, a set of 19 self-catering apartments in Keswick, Cumbria, that is aiming to reopen to guests in April.
