Popular Guest House In Foxt Staffordshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular guest house, which was established in 1992 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2000. The business trades 6 months a year and generates a turnover in the region of £73,000 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. The guest house offers 5 guest bedrooms, 5 caravan pitches, a 22 cover restaurant and is also a wedding venue. We feel the turnover could be increased by opening all year round and perhaps embarking on a marketing campaign promoting the business as a wedding venue. The business has an excellent reputation and is renowned for providing high quality accommodation. The AA tourist board awarded the guest house a 4 star rating. There is a website in place advertising accommodation and facilities provided, which we feel would benefit from online booking facilities. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and have been finished to a high standard throughout. There is also 5-bedroom owners' accommodation, some of which could be converted into further letting accommodation. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular guest house with huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
