Seafront Guest House And Restaurant In Suffolk For Sale

Business description

We are pleased to offer for sale this popular family run guest house and restaurant, which has been in our clients' hands since 2008 and which is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' other business interests. The substantial Victorian property has a 3-star rating and boasts 9-letting rooms, all of which are furnished and presented to a very high standard. There is a large restaurant, which can accommodate approximately 18-covers, and offers traditional meals including Sunday roasts. All ingredients are sourced locally and all deserts are homemade. There is a quality website in place, which provides information on facilities, location and contact details. We feel that the website could be developed further to offer on-line booking facilities. The business is well supported by the tourists industry and enjoys regular bookings from many returning guests. A further benefit to this business is 3-bedroom owners' accommodation. Our clients have developed an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base by offering comfortable accommodation, competitive rates and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £55,700 per annum with a gross profit of 96%. We feel that turnover could be improved by increasing the number of covers in the restaurant. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular guest house, which is well-equipped and in a walk-in-and-trade condition, with scope to develop further. Early discussions with us must come highly recommended.
