The Redesdale Arms Hotel in the centre of historic Cotswold town of Moreton-in-Marsh has a new owner — Brakspear.
The growing hospitality group owns 120 pubs, with several in the Cotswolds including Egypt Mill in Nailsworth, The Frogmill in Andoversford, The Sheep and The Porch House in Stow-on-the-Wold.
The acquisition of the historic coaching inn means the Redesdale Arms is now closed until 8am on Monday 14 April 2025 to allow its existing team to undergo training alongside learning about and trialling new menus from head of food, Ken Umasanthiram.
Set back from Moreton’s busy High Street, the prominent 17th-century building has long been popular for its traditional charm that includes original oak beams, open fires and panelled walls.
The hotel has 35 contemporary-style en-suite guest rooms that are spread across the main building and within a converted stable block and courtyard.
In the coming months there may be a makeover to transform bedrooms into Brakspear's 'Honeycomb House' design.
Brakspear CEO, Tom Davies, said: 'We’re really excited to be adding the Redesdale Arms Hotel to our Honeycomb Houses estate.
'This wonderful, atmospheric inn is the perfect addition to our portfolio and sits well alongside our other successful managed Cotswold pubs with rooms.
'Our vision for the Redesdale Arms is to continue to offer a wonderful place to relax, stay, drink and dine with an initial investment in staff training and new menus with further investment down the line.'
