North East hospitality company The Inn Collection Group has snapped up its second venue in a popular seaside town.
The Newcastle-based pubs-with- rooms business now has 36 sites across the North of England and North Wales after acquiring the Links Hotel in Seahouses, Northumberland, in a deal overseen by property specialist Christie & Co. The Inn Collection Group – which already owns and operates the Bamburgh Castle Inn overlooking Seahouses harbour – is taking over the Links Hotel from Julie Dawson and Malcolm Sutton, who have owned the business for 22 years and decided to sell up to pursue other business interests.
Based on the main road into Seahouses, the hotel has a bar, restaurant and 10 en suite bedrooms, a car park and decked terrace. Sean Donkin, managing director of the Inn Collection Group, said: “We are very happy to have acquired The Links in Seahouses and to have worked with Christie & Co again after doing so on last year’s purchase of the St Kilda Hotel in Llandudno.
