A HOTEL in the heart of an Upper Wensleydale market town has changed hands for about £375,000.
Cocketts Hotel in Hawes has been bought by Doncaster couple Bob and Lesly Barber, who will be taking over the premises from Jeff and Joan Smith.
Overlooking the market square, the hotel has eight en-suite rooms and a restaurant.
Director of agents Robert Barry and Co, Peter Bean, said: "Cocketts is a very appealing Dales hotel with a first-class trading location.
"Naturally, I am unable to disclose the actual price paid, although I can confirm it was close to the asking price of £375,000."
