The Business

Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this elegant and imposing hotel that has been established since 1986 and has been in our clients' careful ownership for the past 4 years.

After years of hard work, building up a superb reputation and increasing the profitability of the hotel dramatically, our clients now have the opportunity to diversify into other business areas and as such the hotel is reluctantly being offered to the market.

Additionally, it has been a real labour of love for them to restore and renovate the building which now includes 12 en-suite bedrooms, a restaurant, a function room and magnificent bar and lounge areas.

Turnover has increased year on year to a now very healthy level of circa. £300,000 per annum with a gross profit margin of around 78%.

Benefiting from a superb website and being recommended by numerous travel organizations, the hotel enjoys healthy levels of trade all year round catering for tourists and business people alike.

The bar and lounge areas, which include a dance floor, along with the beautifully appointed restaurant and function room all with superb character and features, means the hotel is flexible enough to cater for a whole manner of functions, including weddings and birthday parties to name but a few.

The private living accommodation includes a kitchen diner, lounge bedroom and bathroom. Until recently the owners accommodation included a second bedroom and bathroom, currently being utilised as guest accommodation. If required this space could be easily re-incorporated into the owner's accommodation.

The hotel grounds include a patio area with seating and lawned garden at the front of the hotel, plus 25 parking bays.

There is a superb amount of potential to be capitalised on, building on the reputation so far and further developing the premises itself through extension, or financial turnover by developing under exploited aspects of the business, such as the restaurant. The current owners have offered support and advice to the future owners should it be required.

The business represents excellent value for money, as a hotel and as a potential re-development opportunity. Early viewing is essential to appreciate the full potential of this business opportunity.
