Historic Gloucestershire hotel snapped up for around £800,000

A historic Gloucestershire hotel which was given the once over by Channel 5's The Hotel Inspector has been sold off a guide price of £800,000.

The Little Thatch Inn, Quedgeley has been bought by The Hatton Collection through specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co.

The business was previously owned and operated by Jacky McDougall since 1970. She is now looking forward to a well-deserved retirement.

The Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi descended on The Little Thatch in 2015 to help owner Jacky and her daughter Beth Pullin sort out conflicting ideas for taking the business forward.

The Grade II listed part-timbered black and white property dates back to 1351 and has a total of 24 en suite letting bedrooms with a wide range of visitors, including mid-week corporate guests and weekend leisure travellers.

The new buyers, The Hatton Collection, already own seven hotels and inns across the Cotswolds, Somerset and Jersey. Darren Hiscox of The Hatton Collection said: "I am delighted to welcome The Little Thatch into the Hatton fold.

"We have been eager to expand our portfolio in the Gloucester area and the Thatch is a perfect addition. We plan to sympathetically refurbish all areas of the property over the forthcoming months starting with the bar and public areas."

Matthew Smith, director at Christie & Co based in the Bristol office said: "Such is the demand for this type of business in this part of the region, it was no surprise to have received multiple offers as the Little Thatch Inn provides a superb opportunity to further expand, with plenty of trade available due to the recent commercial and residential growth of the Quedgeley area.

"We are delighted for Darren Hiscox of Hatton Collection, who is an experienced hospitality business owner who knows the area extremely well and has exciting plans for The Little Thatch."
