A historic hotel that closed down in December after almost 30 years of operation has gone on the market.

Rosehill House Hotel in Burnley closed with immediate effect on December 12 after father and daughter owners John Doherty and Emma Pennington announced they were no longer able to continue operating the business.

Rosehill House was built in 1846 for wealthy cotton mill owner Adam Dugdale and was later occupied by the Home Guard during World War II.

It was then converted into a hotel in 1663 and was refurbished and opened 27 years ago.

The building has now gone on sale with Savills estate agents for a guide price of £1.25 million and is available on a vacant possession basis.

“The last 27 years has been an incredible journey of experiences, friendships, highs and lows and every emotion you could possibly imagine.

“I will cherish the many wonderful memories we created with the best team of people any business could hope to have, to the suppliers and many loyal fantastic customers who have become friend and made the last 27 years possible.

“With so many factors beyond our control, we are devastated to say we are no longer able to continue operating and have closed the business with immediate effect.”
