A sixteenth-century hotel in Powys is welcoming new owners.

Maesmawr Hall in Caersws, which dates back to 1535, was acquired at the asking price by private owners John and Lisa Brant. They take over having run a hospitality business in Spain for the past 12 years.

John and Lisa said:

“We are thrilled to bring our perspective and expertise to Maesmawr. Our background in hospitality fuels our commitment to transforming this wonderful property into a premier retreat destination, offering guests a rejuvenating and enriching experience.”

John Garner, who previously ran the hotel with his partner Nigel Humphryson, said:

“After 12 fulfilling years at the helm of Maesmawr, we are ready to embark on a new chapter in our lives. Having invested significant time and resources in enhancing the property, we now look forward to retiring and passing the baton to the new owners. We trust that they will continue to cherish and care for this special place, just as we have.”

Peter Brunt, director in the Hotels Agency team at Colliers, who managed the sale, said:

“It's been a pleasure working with John Garner and Nigel Humphryson on this sale and I am pleased to have secured the successful handover of this business. I'm confident that the fresh perspective the new owners bring, combined with their hospitality experience, will ensure the continued success of this establishment.”
