Established Guest House In Swanage Dorset For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this 8 or 9 letting room guest house, which was established in 1950 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2004. The guest house is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £70,000 per annum with a gross profit of 80%. The business offers the en-suite letting rooms on a bed and breakfast basis, along with evening meals by arrangement. We feel the turnover could be further increased by opening the restaurant to the general public, as the premises benefit from a full alcohol licence. There is also scope to embark on a modest marketing campaign. The guest house has an enviable reputation and is renowned for its quality accommodation and service. There is a website in place advertising the business and services provided, which we feel would benefit from online booking facilities. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and all letting rooms boast en-suite facilities and have been fitted to a high standard. There is 4-bedroom owners' accommodation, on the ground floor with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy guest house with huge scope for future development. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
