Nine Bedroom Guest House In Whitley Bay For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this 9-bedroom guest house, which was established in the 1960s and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1989. The guest house is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades all year round, generating a turnover in the region of £30,000 per annum with a gross profit of 90%, derived from the letting of 9 guest bedrooms. We feel there if huge scope to increase turnover by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps from the introduction of a website with online booking facilities. A new owner could, if desired, offer packed lunches and evening meals. The guest house has an enviable reputation and is renowned for the high quality of the letting bedrooms. The business generates the majority of its trade from contractors working in the area. The premises boast spacious 1-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. All letting rooms are equipped with TVs and tea and coffee making facilities. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular guest house in such a desirable location with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
