The Olde Barn Hotel in Grantham sold out of administration to new owners

Administrators from RSM Restructuring Advisory have completed the sale of The Olde Barn Hotel in Marston, near Grantham to Shepherd Cox Hotels (Grantham) Limited, part of the Shepherd Cox Hotel Group.

New Barn Hotel Limited, owner of The Olde Barn Hotel, entered administration on 27 August 2019 after the business suffered from acute cashflow pressures.

Since that time, the joint administrators’ have continued to trade the Olde Barn Hotel, which has 103 bedrooms together with a leisure club, restaurant and function facilities whilst seeking a buyer for the hotel and business as a going concern.

Shepherd Cox Hotel Group owns and operates 20 hotels across the UK under brands such as Holiday Inn, Best Western, Travelodge and Accor. As the new owner they will be honouring all room and function bookings on the same basis as agreed between the company and the hotel’s guests.

Adrian Allen, a partner at RSM Restructuring Advisory LLP and one of the joint administrators said:

'I'm delighted that we were able to complete this deal which minimises creditor losses, secures the ongoing employment of the hotel staff and honours all room and function booking for existing customers.'

The sale was facilitated by commercial real estate firm Avison Young. James Williamson, Director, Hotels at Avison Young, commented: 'We are pleased to have completed the sale of the hotel, following strong interest in the asset, despite the wider market uncertainty during this period.'
