Business History
Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this superb character 4 star silver award guest house with café restaurant and a superior detached 4 bedroom owners' property which has been in the careful hands of our clients since 1982. The only reason this award winning business is being offered to the market is our clients desire to take a well deserved retirement. Since our clients took over the business they have embarked on a full refurbishment and extension program to all areas of the business culminating in a true walk in and trade business. The guest lodge property was extended and refurbished in 2006 and provides guests with the highest levels of comfort and amenities resulting in the business achieving a 4 star silver award rating. The café restaurant has a high level of turnover even though our clients have reduced the opening hours to suit their lifestyle needs. Our clients inform us that the current combined turnover runs at £170,000 pa with a gross margin of 65% but this can be drastically improved by resuming the opening hours of the café restaurant. The business enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and also its regular clients which ensures high levels of repeat trade. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and growth potential of this unique business.
