Best Western hotels are owned and managed locally. Some across the country like Cresta Court in Altrincham and the Best Western in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, have taken on such contracts.

But management at Mosborough Hall have quelled speculation, confirming that there are no such plans in place for their venue here in Sheffield.

Richard Beck, general manager at the hotel, said: “Recent speculation regarding the Best Western Plus Sheffield Mosborough Hall Hotel has suggested that the venue is accepting a contract to house asylum seekers.

“This is categorically incorrect.

“The hotel is not and will not be used as housing for asylum seekers."
