Business description
Advent Business Sales have been instructed to offer for sale this long established and popular hotel with excellent further potential.
Established 23 years ago by the vendor, it is now reluctantly offered for sale due to the vendor’s retirement plans.
This popular hotel occupies a substantial three storey premises with the ground floor given over to bar and large restaurant area, with a total of 80 covers. The first and second floors separated into accommodation consisting of 12 rooms, with 2 used as living accommodation by the vendor, leaving a further 10 as letting rooms.
The business being well located adjacent to the town centre and also close to the industrial area of Pontefract ensures a high level of occupancy.
The ground floor restaurant has proved extremely popular in the past; however, due to the retirement plans and effectively winding down, the vendor currently does not operate the restaurant business.
The premises are decorated to a good standard throughout, operated free of tie and staffed by a family team.
