A HOTEL in Weston-super-Mare has been bought by Weston College as part of its expansion.

The Arosfa Hotel in Lower Church Road has closed its doors, and will form part of the college’s multi-million-pound plan to create a Law and Professional Services Academy.

The hotel is opposite the college’s Knightstone Campus.

The college has already acquired the Winter Gardens to turn into an academy and planning permission for changes to the venue were approved in October.
