NEW owners are set to take over The Northfield Hotel in Minehead.

The venue is one of four purchased by the Fairtree Hospitality Real Estate Private Equity Fund in the South West after securing £16m worth of financing from Natwest.

The fund, managed by international asset management company Fairtree Capital, has bought the hotels and Providence Hospitality, a hospitality management company, has secured the contracts to manage the hotels.
