Established The business has been established for over 40 years and under the present ownership since 2002, has a high rate of repeat business and referrals with a large international trade. Many guests returning for the freshly cooked Breakfasts, Homemade biscuits, home from home atmosphere, hospitality and customer care. Due to the level of service provided we are able to command higher room rates than many of the guest houses in our area.

It also boasts working with 3 other online booking sites (commission based) and many other tourism directories, search engines and tourism advertising sites.

Services Mains electric, gas, water, sewage, are all connected to the property, regularly inspected and maintained. There is a monitored and maintained ADT alarm system fitted to the property. All fire regulation systems are up to date, Inspected and maintained on a regular basis as required by law. Reason for Sale The vendors wish to retire and re-locate, after over 75 years between them in the Hotel and catering industry, they feel they deserve it. They no longer have the energy and enthusiasm to dedicate to this well deserving Hotel. Hence the reduction in services they now provide. Business Potential Apart from the bed and breakfast trade now operating, the owners used to provide evening meals, afternoon teas and hold small business meetings, even catering demonstrations. Another benefit could be to re-instate the alcohol License. There is also further potential to utilise the space in the garden where the chalet now stands for further accommodation, office space (for private use or letting) or a games room/sun lounge/surfers changing and drying room etc. . . .
