Littlebeck Warren offers the perfect opportunity to acquire a four star, boutique B&B which is well-established and boasts an excellent reputation.  Room tariffs range from £95 to £110 per night for single occupancy and £130 to £145 per night for double occupancy.  Our clients currently only operate the business on four days each week due to personal circumstances, and mainly cater for workers and business people visiting the area.  This does offer scope for expansion: opening on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays would appeal to tourists and more extensive marketing would raise the business’s profile.  We are advised that net sales are in the region of £50,000-£70,000 per annum.  The business offers the perfect work/life balance in a stunning location just on the edge of Lake District National Park.
