Eight Letting Room Guest House In Southport Merseyside For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this family run guest house, which was established in 1960 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2002. The guest house in only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades all year round, generating a turnover in the region of £60,000 per annum, derived from 8-letting rooms, a home cooked breakfast menu and bar sales. We feel the turnover could be further increased by introducing evening meals. There is also the potential to embark on a modest marketing campaign. The business has an excellent reputation and is renowned for its high levels of service and accommodation. The guest house has a loyal customer base and enjoys much repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. There is a website in place advertising the accommodation and with online booking facilities. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and have been finished to a high standard throughout. There is also 1-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already established guest house with scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
