The Arundell, a country hotel in Lifton, Devon, has been brought to market with a freehold asking price of £2.5m following a programme of investment and refurbishment by its current owners.
The hotel, which has been owned by Simon Village and Arabella Monro, comprises 21 en-suite bedrooms, a two-bedroom self-catering fishing cottage and a four-bedroom staff flat. Food and beverage facilities include a gastro pub, an on-site café and The Cockpit, an event space built around a historic cockfighting pit.
Country sports remain a key part of the business, with access to more than 22 miles of private river fishing, a fly-fishing school and shooting partnerships across Devon and Cornwall. The property also includes four function rooms with capacity for up to 100 guests.
In addition, the site operates an electric vehicle charging hub with 16 Tesla superchargers, which served more than 26,000 vehicles during 2025.
Specialist business property adviser Christie and Co has been instructed to manage the sale of the business. The Arundell has a history spanning almost a century and is being marketed as a freehold acquisition opportunity.
Knut Wylde, the owners’ representative, said: “The Arundell occupies a position in the market that very few properties in this country can genuinely claim, a sporting hotel of national significance, a food and beverage offer that has earned its reputation on merit, and a character that cannot be franchised.
“For the new owner, whether an experienced operator or a passionate individual seeking a landmark address with real substance, The Arundell represents an opportunity that is literally once in a generation.”
Stephen Champion, director of hotels at Christie and Co, who is managing the sale process, added: “We are delighted to bring The Arundell to the market, representing a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality, well-established hotel with a super reputation.
“We anticipate significant interest from a diverse range of buyers, given the strength of trading and further growth potential on offer.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
