Pastures Lodge has entered a new era under experienced hotel operator Harry Sookun – with stays, meals and celebrations available to book now.
He says the aim is to build on it’s reputation while investing in its future, with plans are to invest in the venue, while keeping its independent character.
Pastures Lodge Hotel combines a 60-bedroom hotel with a pub, restaurant and extensive events facilities, making it a destination for everything from overnight stays and meals out to weddings, parties and special occasions.
The hotel - located in Pastures Road, Mexborough, S64 OJJ - is also well placed as a base for tourist attractions.
Under the new ownership, Pastures Lodge will continue to operate as an independent hospitality business, with its existing management team and staff remaining in place.
Mr Sookun brings more than 40 years of business experience spanning hospitality, finance, property investment and commercial ventures in the UK and internationally.
His existing UK hospitality portfolio includes Stourport Manor Hotel and Westone Manor Hotel, where investment and improvements have focused on enhancing facilities and the overall guest experience.
Speaking about his latest acquisition, he said: “Pastures Lodge is a fantastic business with a proud history and an important role within the local community.
“Our aim is to build on its strength, invest in its future and ensure it continues to be a place where people enjoy staying, dining, celebrating and creating memories.”
A key priority under the new ownership will be bringing the hotel, pub, restaurant and events operations closer together, with the different departments working as one unified business.
Mr Sookun added: “Although the hotel and pub operate from separate buildings, they are one business.
“By working together as one team, we can improve communication, strengthen our service and create new opportunities for the future.”
The transition has been designed to be seamless for guests, with the existing team staying in place to retain the local knowledge, character and standards regular customers know.
