Anyone know who's bought it?

This used to be a brilliant Show and Eventing Centre years ago. I hope it's resurrected again!! The advert says they're rebuilding the XC course and will hire out the facilities for shows..... anyone know any more??
 
As far as i know it's been bought by a lady who owns a load of care homes in the area and who has a hobby interest in horses. The hotel will presumably be turnedinto another care home and the equestrian centre...well we will see.

It could all work out nicely though as i think the it was the hotel that was the chain around the Gustavii's neck rather than the equestrian facility.
 
I heard (secretly) about this going through a couple of months ago. Really hope it gets up and running again as it's such a waste of those facilities. I bet it needs a lot of money spent to get it back up to scratch though.

In the Sussex edition of HorseMart.

Is says in a nutshell, UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT: 12 room hotel/B&B .....can cater for weddings, conferences and private parties...

....join an exciting and expanding family run yard offering full, part and DIY livery...

..... Olympic size indoor school with judging box, outdoor school and cross country course (under restoration) inc facilites for a variety of shows and events, tailor made to your specification.

No website, but there is an email address and phone number

Fingers cross for some decent competitions in the near future then!!! :o)
 
Friends of mine have moved their horses there on Part livery. The rates are very reasonable and include all the facilities; I guess this is to fill it up quickly.
The owner has plans to get shows running again and rebuild the XC course. All these things take time to do properly but it will be wonderful if it does re-open, it used to be a fantastic show centre.
