FOR SALE - A charming and highly successful small hotel and restaurant.

<< Price lowered for a quick sale due to personal circumstances >>

This property benefits from nine individual en-suite bedrooms, a bar, restaurant and commercial kitchen. It has a newly laid car park and is maintained to a high standard. The owner’s accommodation consists of a one-bedroom apartment, but could easily be extended by using two of the hotel guest rooms.

Having undergone a rolling refurbishment programme, the hotel is at boutique standard. Dating from the early 1600s, the building has many interesting features, including:

· gothic windows

· a slate floored entrance with ornate staircase and galleried landing

· open fireplaces

· pretty terrace with views over the moors.

The business has been successfully operated for over 15 years with a small team of staff.

Lifton Hall is an established business with a lot of repeat business for accommodation and food. Many blue-chip companies use the hotel for visiting business customers. And the bar and restaurant are supported by the local community for lunches, evening meals and afternoon teas. There remains huge scope to develop the business further.

The owners are now wanting a change to explore other opportunities.

This easily operated business will be sold with a full hand-over to ensure its continued success. Trading accounts will be made available following a successful viewing.

NOTE: Separate to this sale, but available with negotiation, there is a self-contained three-bedroom cottage and a one-bedroom barn.
