Whitby’s Dunsley Hall calls in administrators as "slowdown in consumer spending" hits

Dunsley Hall near Whitby, the country house hotel, has gone into administration.

On January 13 2014 Bob Maxwell and Nick Reed of Begbies Traynor in Leeds were appointed as administrators.

Set in five acres of landscaped grounds, the Victorian hotel has suites for up to 120 guests and is a popular venue for wedding receptions, special occasions, and conferences.

The hotel will continue to trade whilst in the hands of the joint administrators who expect to sell the business as a going concern.

Joint administrator Bob Maxwell said: “Like a number of other hotels we have been appointed over the last couple of years, the financial problems at Dunsley Hall Country House Hotel have been caused by a slowdown in consumer spending.

“We are continuing to run the business as normal whilst we seek a buyer. Already, we have been approached by several interested parties and we are hopeful of completing a sale in the near future.”
