A Fantastically Presented, 15 16 Bedroom Hotel For Sale

IT’S ALL DONE FOR YOU!

A fantastically presented 15/16-bedroom hotel for sale in Devon, ideally situated a short walking distance from the town centre, harbour and beach within the year-round busy, sought-after seaside resort of Torquay. The hotel has been fully upgraded and includes a two-storey, three-bedroom owners' accommodation, along with various terraces and a large car park, this is a licensed property along with a 5-star hygiene rating. The business also has 5-star rating on TripAdvisor and a 9.2 out of 10 score on Booking.com .A full handover to ensure the continued success of the business. A family relocation is forcing this sale, and early viewings are highly recommended.
 

The owners have traded successfully for many years and are proud to have achieved high levels of repeat business year-on-year. Lindum Lodge benefits from extensive double-glazing and business rate exemptions, along with 15/16 high-quality bedrooms which can easily be serviced, due to their high standard, by only a few part-time staff when required. The current owners are trading for approximately six months per year as a lifestyle choice; however, we the agents, feel the turnover could be improved by opening for longer during the low season, improved advertising and better use of social media. Full accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.

LOCATION

Lindum Lodge is situated at the top of Abbey Road, just a short stroll from the main town centre in one direction and the seafront and harbour with its vibrant café culture in the other. Torquay is one of the most desirable holiday destinations in Britain. It is easily accessible by road and enjoys a regular train link with the rest of the country.

BUSINESS

Successfully owner-operated with part-time assistance during the busy summer months, Lindum Lodge enjoys a good deal of repeat business. The current owners only trade part of the year due to lifestyle preferences and we, the agents, feel that extending the opening period throughout the year would improve on this already impressive turnover. Full trading accounts will be made available following a formal viewing.
