Eden acquires The Mount Somerset hotel
POSTED 28 Nov 2011 . BY Pete Hayman
The Mount Somerset hotel in Lower Henlade near Taunton, Somerset, has become the latest to be acquired out of the administration of the von Essen group by Eden Hotel Collection.

Christie + Co completed the deal on behalf of von Essen's administrators, with the 19-room property following the Greenway Hotel and Spa near Cheltenham into the Eden portfolio.

Facilities at The Mount Somerset include a spa spanning two floors, which features a fitness suite equipped by Technogym and two treatment rooms offering [comfort zone] services.

The other level boasts a hydrotherapy pool; a sauna; a steamroom; foot spas; and experience showers, while a spa terrace overlooking the property's gardens is also among the facilities.

Christie + Co director of corporate hotels Jeremy Jones said: "The Mount Somerset is another example of a fine country house hotel, which will sit comfortably within the Eden Hotel Collection's award-winning portfolio.

"As anticipated, the von Essen Hotels portfolio has generated, and continues to generate, significant interest. We fully expect to announce further sales in the days and weeks ahead."
