Rockliffe Hall Ltd, owner of the five-star Rockliffe Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort in Darlington, UK, has purchased the Feversham Arms Hotel and Verbena Spa in Helmsley.

The 33-key, four-star hotel, which went on the market in March 2025 for £3.25 million (US$4.4 million, €3.7 million) after entering administration, was sold by administrators from PKF Littlejohn Advisory. The trade and assets were transferred to a new company, The Feversham Arms Hotel (2025) Ltd, owned by Rockliffe Hall Ltd. The deal was completed on 29 August, with Colliers acting as the real estate facilitator.

Rockliffe Hall Ltd also owns The Pheasant Hotel, a 16-key English country inn located five minutes from the Feversham Arms. Together, the acquisitions strengthen Rockliffe Hall’s commitment to delivering Northern charm, luxury experiences, and warm hospitality to both UK and international travellers.

The Feversham Arms Hotel will continue to operate under its existing model, with all employees retained and their terms and conditions unchanged.

Verbena Spa at Feversham Arms

The hotel’s Verbena Spa features six single treatment rooms and one couples’ room, offering a range of heat experiences, including a saunarium, aromatherapy room, steamroom, monsoon shower, and foot spas. Outdoors, guests can enjoy a hot tub and a heated pool, while a relaxation room and a Spa-tisserie snack bar provide further indulgence. Temple Spa is the spa’s skincare partner.

This acquisition marks a notable expansion for Rockliffe Hall Ltd, reinforcing its position in the Northern England luxury hotel and spa sector.
