Located adjacent to the busy A149 which connects the Broadland town of Wroxham with the coastal resort of Great Yarmouth, the Wayford Bridge Inn is a well-presented hotel with 29 letting bedrooms, a lounge bar, restaurant and outside seating.
Multi-hotel operator Hospitality Wise Ltd have acquired a new lease for the hotel from current owners Aura Inns Ltd, who have owned and operated Wayford Bridge Inn since they acquired it in 2015 out of administration. During their time owning the hotel, Aura Inns Ltd increased the bedroom count and established the very popular bar and restaurant which attract both locals and visitors all year round.
Abdul Shakir and Syed Ejaz of Hospitality Wise Ltd commented on their latest acquisition: “Another milestone has been achieved, thanks to the incredible support of Simon Jackaman from Christie & Co. This is a wonderful step for us as we take on a successful family-run business, and we're committed to upholding the same high standards whilst gradually moving forward. We can't wait to create more jobs and help our local community in every way we can.”
Commenting on the sale, Simon Jackaman of Christie & Co who handled the sale said: “Having known the Heavens family, who are well-respected within hospitality across Norfolk, for many years, and being involved with them when they acquired the hotel over ten years ago, I was delighted and honoured to represent them in this sale which was conducted off-market. Having personally been involved in hotels across East Anglia for three decades, my knowledge of owners and operators enabled me to approach a select number of suitable companies and to quickly agree a sale to Hospitality Wise who already operate another hotel in the area, along with other hotels in Cambridgeshire, Kent and across the south and Midlands.”
Wayford Bridge Inn was sold off-market with a new lease being created on behalf of the freehold owners.
