Other information

Expansion potential:

There is a great deal expansion potential as the current owners choose to stay open 6 months of the year and pass a lot of trade to neighbouring guest houses. So far, only the holiday trade has been tapped but there is a large potential with the business trade from language schools and a large insurance company nearby for extra winter trade.Christmas and New Year is another lucrative source of income. Longer term students from language schools is another option with contracts with the colleges.

Competition / Market:

There are 2 other B & B's in the same street and 2 others nearby to whom we often recommend unsuccessful guests as there are many weeks when we are fully booked and cannot take more.
