Cornwall’s St Austell Brewery has added to its estate of pubs, inns and hotels for the first time in more than two years. The company has agreed a deal to buy The Wellington Hotel in Boscastle in the north of the county, for an undisclosed sum.
The historic coaching inn, which dates back to the 16th century, has 14 bedrooms, three aparthotel suites, a pub, and a restaurant.
The deal comes after St Austell Brewery chief executive Kevin Georgel said in March the family-run independent business was looking to expand its portfolio to more than 200 venues.
