Business description
We are pleased to offer for sale this popular 9-bedroom hotel, which was established in 1900 and which has been in our client's careful hands since 2007. The hotel is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £60,000 per annum with a gross profit of 90%. The Southfield Hotel offers 9 en-suite letting rooms on a bed and breakfast only basis. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign. The hotel enjoys high levels of occupancy with much repeat trade from contractors. There is a website in place advertising the hotel and services provided, which we feel would benefit from on-line booking facilities. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade, boasting a spacious bar area, restaurant area and a commercial kitchen. We feel these facilities could be utilised as a bar and restaurant to increase turnover further. There is also 3-bedroom owners' accommodation with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy hotel with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
