Advocating for the development, Downing said dozens of jobs would be created as a result of the hotel at his stately home near Bridgnorth.
The proposals for the 320-acre Astbury Hall estate include a 63-room hotel, indoor swimming pool, spa and a top-class restaurant.
Who ever figured K.K. Downing would retire and open a hotel? I mean, no one could have predicted that one. There’s a BBC reality show to be done here.
“I am speaking to various corporations about investment and I’m optimistic we can start pushing through with the plans for development this year,” revealed Downing.
“The next step is putting together all the costing of everything, which includes the golf, practice areas and purpose built clubhouse — as well as the hotel, leisure and spa facilities,” he says. “I’m 60 years old now so I really want to get things completed — that’s always been the endgame.”
