A POPULAR hotel, health club and wedding venue in Wincanton has closed with immediate effect.

Holbrook Manor & Club was undergoing a major refurbishment, but bosses have halted the project and closed the estate, citing ‘inflationary pressures’ and ‘delays’.

A spokesperson for Hillbrooke Hotels, which was developing the venue, said the property had been due to open as a full-service hotel at the end of October.

“But sadly due to inflationary pressures, continued delays to the project and development factors beyond our control, we are unable to continue,” they added.

“This has been a difficult decision and we recognise the impact this will have on our team and the members of the club but sadly the current economic circumstances have conspired against us.”
