Business

Since purchasing the business the current owners have spent a lot of time and effort establishing and refurbishing Bojangles into one of the finest guest houses in the area, trading with a very well-presented property that will require little to no CAPEX for a new owner.

Gretna and Gretna Green are both very busy throughout the year and do offer a 12-month trading opportunity.

Due to the nature of Gretna’s market the majority of the visitors are generally attending a wedding which ensures a steady stream of trade, however due to the location there is a diversity of business from other channels incl. tourists travelling north/south, cyclists, walkers travelling from Land’s End to John O Groats and commercial business.  

Bojangles Guest House is ideally placed for its guests, being within walking distance of all amenities and rates very highly on all booking sites: 5 Star TripAdvisor, 9.7/10 from Booking.com, 4.8 Excellent Rating from Google and 4.9 rating from Expedia.

Further information on the business can be obtained from the website www.bojanglesgretna.co.uk which also has its own booking system. Through extensive/detailed marketing a lot of bookings come directly through their site and as a result have established themselves amongst a different price bracket which has proved very beneficial to the ongoing trade, with a higher room rate being achieved due to the quality of the product.

The sale of this business offers and excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to get into the guest house market, with further scope to increase on what is an already steady “lifestyle” opportunity. A viewing is strongly advised to appreciate exactly what is on offer and its potential.

The Property

Under the current ownership the property has been refurbished to a high level both internally and externally, including a new boiler. This large semi-detached guest house is split over ground and first floor and deceptively spacious from the front, extending to the rear. The small garden to the front is very well kept and includes a feature pond, monobloc & tarmac driveway/private parking and large detached garage which also houses a further storage room and enclosed Astro turf private sitting area.

Its bright painted exterior/garden and hanging baskets make for a very well-presented property.

There is WiFi throughout.

Internal Details

All public areas within the property are accessed via a bright and welcoming entrance vestibule at the front of the property, leading directly into the breakfast room. Access to the letting bedrooms, on the first floor, is also granted from this room.

Instantly, you are made aware of the bright modern décor throughout, with additional comfortable seating in the vestibule.

Breakfast Room

This bright room is ideal for guests to relax on the comfortable sofa as well as accommodating dining tables and chairs for guests to sit and eat. Direct access is given to the kitchen and small hall to upper bedrooms along with the double doors leading to the vestibule and front door. This room gives a very home from home feel and is fitted to a bright modern standard, with natural light coming into the rear of the room via a feature sun tunnel.  Further benefits include wooden flooring, servery counter and feature gas fire with stone surround.

Letting Accommodation

The property has 5 delightful ensuite letting rooms all of different styles and design, however the current owners only trade with 4 as one is currently used for family, which also benefits from a large balcony overlooking the rear.

Room Rates range from £85/£95 (smallest room) to £129/£149. An additional £10 for pets and £20 for a fold down bed (if required).
