A FOUR-STAR hotel is under new ownership after a buyout deal was completed.

DoubleTree by Hilton, Cadbury House is owned by Black & White Hospitality after it bought out Sanguine Hospitality’s stake.

New owner Nick Taplin, who lives in Wrington, has close ties with the hotel because he is also a director for Sanguine.

Mr Taplin, pictured, said: “It’s been one incredible journey and to now effectively own Cadbury House is an amazing feeling.

“It’s taken a while to sink in but was the right thing to do.

“We’ve got lots of plans and ideas which will maintain its position as the number one venue for conferences, meetings, weddings, celebrations and health and fitness.”
