The Biggin Hall Hotel & Restaurant in Biggin, near Buxton, has been placed up for sale - with an asking price of £1,750,000 being set.
Dating back to the 17th century, Biggin Hall is a luxury country house hotel and wedding venue located in the heart of the Peak District, known for its peaceful atmosphere and immediate access to scenic walking and cycling routes.
The hotel offers a collection of 19 individually furnished en-suite rooms, along with a bar and restaurant where guests can enjoy an intimate, elegant and highly-renowned dining experience.
Owner of the hotel, James Moffett, said, “My ex-wife and I bought Biggin Hall Farm in 1974 and, after undertaking a large renovation, started to take in guests in 1980. Over these past decades, the business has evolved without losing its essential character.
“The business is thriving with staff regularly praised for their standard of service, but I was 87 in February and have reluctantly come to accept that I no longer have the energy I once had, which may be needed to further develop the business and weather whatever challenges may lie ahead.
“I have derived much pleasure from seeing the business grow, and I will be sad to leave. I hope the future owner will share my values of respecting a charismatic part of England’s architectural heritage and extending a true welcome to those who stay here as guests. I wish whoever it may be success and happiness.”
Specialist business property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market the property. Matt Hill, senior business agent for hotels at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process.
He said: “This period destination venue is located in a beautiful Peak District setting and offers guests a relaxed period boutique style experience.
“As can be seen from guest reviews, it has a long-standing and well-regarded guest following. The opportunity would ideally suit an experienced operator seeking to add to their existing portfolio with a successful business platform in place.”
