The operators of a Prestbury pub and hotel have gone bust.

Flat Cap Hotels, the operator of three boutique hotels in Cheshire East, have gone into administration.

Their venue in Knutsford has now closed with immediate effect, but their venue on The Village in Prestbury currently remains open despite the administration.

A spokesperson said: "We can confirm that Flat Cap Hotels Limited, which operates the Bridge in Prestbury, The Vicarage in Cranage and The Courthouse in Knutsford, has entered administration."

"Like many others in the hospitality sector, despite having an excellent reputation and a strong brand, the business has been impacted by a combination of factors, including the pandemic, inflation and the challenging economic environment for consumers. 

"Partners at Begbies Traynor have been appointed as Joint Administrators and the focus is now on stabilising the operating position of the business and exploring future options. The Bridge and the Vicarage will continue to trade as normal, while The Courthouse has ceased trading."

Flat Cap Hotels was founded in 2017.

Prestbury's The Bridge, which is run by Middlewich-based staycation group Flat Cap Hotels, was last year recognised as one of Britain's best places for an overnight stay.
