Business History
We, the present owners are pleased to offer for sale our 12 bedroom stunning guest house that was established over 100 years ago and has been in our careful hands since early 2006. We are extremely busy, great repeat trade and constant flow of business guests from the nearby British Energy Power Stations. We never suffer a dip in trade due to holiday guests & business trade, this is truly a ‘Gold Mine’
Just released turnover & Profit for 2010 -2011: Turnover increased to £56,336. Profit at its highest level of £30,602!!!! These amazing figures still leave vast scope for a new owner to increase profits!
The Guest House has massive scope to increase this as we are limited to the service we offer due to our sale reasons.
Over the 5 years of ownership we have continual ploughed back into the business all profits to up-grade and maintain the property to a very high standard. This must be viewed to appreciate the care that has gone into the thriving business it is today. The Guest House is easily run by the two of us without any help from staff and still gives us a very relaxed ‘lifestyle’ change we wanted.
Rooms
The Guest house offers an 15 cover breakfast /restaurant and a comfortable lounge for guests to relax in and take in those views!. There is a self-contained 2-bedroom owners’ accommodation to the lower ground floor that can be easily altered to suit new owners needs. All guest rooms offer well stocked compliments trays with tea and coffee making facilities and much more, also in rooms televisions with Freeview and WiFi Internet access.
The guest house is AA 3-star accredited and boasts an enviable reputation with good repeat custom, and we would point out that this is a healthy 12 month of the year business. There is scope to further increase takings if desired, a new owner could take advantage of the dining room and offer evening meals. We feel that this represents an ideal opportunity for a husband and wife team or a partnership to purchase and established business with scope for the future. Early viewing is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
