Hotels
Global real estate advisor, Colliers International, has been appointed to sell three hotels in the north of England and Scotland, on behalf of Shearings Leisure Group, a leading operator of escorted tours and leisure hotels.
Paul Barrasford, a director in the Hotels Agency team at Colliers International, commented:“ Although part of a larger group, each hotel is an established and successful business in its own right, in particular, due to recent and major refurbishment programmes, increased private leisure and the popularity of these hotels amongst local clientele for a wide array of corporate and private events. From both an operational and property perspective, there are exciting value add opportunities at each property.”
The following freehold properties are available on an individual or cluster basis:

Morecambe, with a resident population of 45,000, is popular for its beaches and a variety of exciting attractions such as Morecambe’ s Happy Mount Park, which is a short walk from the hotel. The town’ s live entertainment venue, a restored Edwardian railway station, is also close by.
