Berkshire: Elephant at Pangbourne changes hands

The Elephant at Pangbourne in Berkshire has been sold, with Bluebelt Hospitality acquiring the leasehold from Hillbrooke Hotels.

The three-AA-star, 22-bedroom hotel was originally launched in the late 19th century as the Elephant, and was renamed the Copper Inn during the intervening years.

Today, having reverted to its original name, it has become known for its shabby chic décor which recreates the opulence of India in the days of the Raj.

It offers a 70-seat restaurant, bar, three banqueting spaces, and a garden which can cater for up to 150 covers.

Bluebelt Hospitality has bought the 18-year lease off a guide price of £230,000, and as a result has increased its portfolio of properties to four, including Widbrook Grange and the Boathouse pub in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire; and Shieldaig Lodge, which is set to open in Gairloch, Ross-shire in June.

Hillbrooke Hotels now comprises three hotels: the William Cecil in Stamford, Lincolnshire; Master Builders at Buckler’s Hard, Hampshire; and the Bull & Swan at Burghley.

Will Thomas of Fleurets, which marketed the property, said the Elephant hotel is in good condition and generated a great deal of interest.
