Montigo Resorts officially opens Charlton House in Somerset

Montigo Resorts officially opened Charlton House in the market town of Shepton Mallet, in the Mendip District of Somerset on 7 July.
The property, which was recently acquired by luxury hospitality group KOP Limited, is a Regency period estate featuring a 28-room country hotel and spa, three restaurants and gardens.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Rt Hon James Heappey, minister of state for the armed forces and MP for Wells, Mayor of Wells, Cllr Tanys Pullin, Mayor of Glastonbury, Cllr Indra Donfrancesco, and Chairman of The Street Parish Council, Cllr Bryan Knickerbocker.
The estate has a botanical conservatory restaurant to offer, as well as a bistro and an al fresco bar and grill.
Chih Ching Ong, executive chairman and director of KOP Limited, said: “We are thrilled to be introducing Montigo Resorts’ warm, welcoming blend of excellence in Asian hospitality to Somerset, where our guests will feel cherished, and pampered for ‘generations to come’.
“Charlton House is an impressive property of distinction, and we are committed to honouring its history, and working with the local community to thoughtfully restore the estate to its full potential.”
Since purchasing the estate in March this year, “considerable” investment and effort to improve the facilities has already been made by the group, using local businesses and materials wherever possible, with even more restorative refurbishments still to come.
