Former asylum seeker hotel goes on the market
The Beresford Hotel in Newquay has more than 100 en-suite bedrooms
A hotel in Cornwall, which had been used by the Home Office to house asylum seekers, has been put up for sale.
The Beresford Hotel in Newquay was used between November last year until April, to house arrivals to the country.
There had been protests near the hotel, over the decision to house asylum seekers there, you can read more those here.
It's been listed with an asking price of £3.85 million, and is comprised of more than 100 en-suite bedrooms, a restaurant, bar and ballroom.
The listing online says "The Property was built in the 1900’s and is formed from the merger of two adjoining hotels".
"The hotel has most recently been used for a home office contract, however that has now come to an end and the hotel is reopening for the tourist season. The business is available free and clear of current management and branding and would be well suited for continued use to capitalise on booming tourist trade in this region."
