Business description
Bag a Business is delighted to offer for sale this much sought after spa, 4 star apartments, swimming pool, restaurant and leisure business in such an exceptional location within the northern Lake District. The Derwent Lodge Spa occupies a substantial Lakeland stone-built, detached property with the original buildings dating back to the 18th century. The business has been trading since 1982 and has built up an enviable reputation throughout the region. The site has undergone a complete transformation in recent months, with a substantial redevelopment and refurbishment programme nearing completion, which is anticipated to generate a conservative turnover projection in excess of one million pounds. Currently there are six guest apartments furnished and equipped to 4 star standards with accommodation for up to 8 guests. A 14 metre swimming pool and steam room has just been built with extensive beauty, gym and changing facilities. The restaurant is configured for 50+ covers in addition to further bar and public areas. This is a particularly attractive purchase due to its stunning location and such potential for the future. In addition there is likely to be future scope for the introduction of holiday lodges within the 4« acre site, subject to planning consent. This is a unique opportunity to purchase such a highly regarded and versatile business. Early discussions with Bag a Business must be recommended.
