Exclusive Hotels and Venues is buying the 11-bedroom Castle Inn, which is beside the Manor House which it already owns. The two properties are in Castle Coombe, Wiltshire and the sale is due to be completed by 30th January.
The Manor House has 48-bedrooms and the addition of the Castle Inn will add two more bedrooms through the refurbishment of a cottage within its grounds.
