Growing hospitality company the Inn Collection Group has snapped up its second Welsh property after acquiring The Bull in Beaumaris.
The pub with rooms operator, which now has 32 UK inns employing more than 900 people, has bought The Bull and adjoining Townhouse boutique hotel in the seaside village on Anglesey for an undisclosed sum, adding to its presence in North Wales. Dating from the 1400s, The Bull has 25 bedrooms and includes Anglesey’s popular Coach restaurant and courtyard terrace, coffee shop, bars and meeting facilities, and is based close to the World Heritage site of Beaumaris Castle.
The deal comes a year after the firm bought the 19-bedroom Swallow Falls Hotel, hostel and campsite in Betws-y-Coed, which is currently closed while careful restoration works of the building are completed.

Sean Donkin, managing director of The Inn Collection Group said: “We’ve fallen in love with the area and are absolutely delighted to be welcoming The Bull in Beaumaris into The Inn Collection Group family as we look to expand further across North Wales with its striking scenery, heritage and culture.
“Extraordinary locations are what sets our pubs aside and The Bull in Beaumaris and this fascinating area have this unequivocally. The Bull is a gem of an inn with a unique atmosphere and history. It’s had the same owners for over 35 years and their dedication towards the property and attention to detail is clear to see. We look forward to continuing their commitment to inn and its great team of people in the next phase of its history.
“Our people are central to The Inn Collection Group and we are passionate about championing hospitality as a career. We look forward to working with the team at The Bull and providing exciting career prospects and people development opportunities as well as being a fun and dynamic company to work with.”
Outside Wales, the Newcastle based group has venues in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham, the Lake District, Yorkshire and Lancashire, including the Seaburn Inn in Sunderland and the Park Hotel in Tynemouth, which is currently undergoing a significant redevelopment and expansion ahead of reopening next year.
Edward Hunter of Edinburgh-based commercial law firm Burness Paull provided legal advice on the Beaumaris transaction, while Neil Hart at Newcastle’s Bradley Hall advised on pre-acquisition diligence.
