Brakspear expands Honeycomb Houses with acquisition of The Stroud Hotel
Brakspear has expanded its Honeycomb Houses managed division by acquiring The Stroud Hotel in Stroud. The deal brings the portfolio to 13 sites and strengthens Brakspear’s presence in Stroud, where it already runs The Egypt Mill Hotel in Nailsworth and The Kings Head Hotel in Cirencester. The Stroud Hotel, opposite Stroud railway station, offers 24 en-suite rooms, including five suites, a function business, and is popular for dining. Built in 1862/63 as The Imperial Hotel, the building was designed by Benjamin Bucknall. Having reported a 23% turnover rise for Honeycomb Houses in 2025, with like-for-like growth of 7%, the deal continues Brakspear’s strategy to grow its managed operation as opportunities arise. Brakspear chief executive Tom Davies described Stroud Hotel as an iconic business and said the purchase is complementary to the company’s strengths in the area, adding that as a family-owned firm they will act as custodians of the building.
