Seven Bedroom Guest House In Cumbria For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this well-established and highly respected guest house, which has been in our client's hands for the past 21 years and is only now being placed on the market due to their wish to retire. Over the period that our clients have owned the business they have built up an enviable reputation throughout the region, benefiting from regular and repeat business. The guest house benefits from 7 letting rooms, as well as private accommodation, all maintained to the very highest of standards throughout. The property dates back to 1882 and has retained many original features. Currently the business has a turnover of £54,000 per annum on a bed and breakfast only basis. There remains huge scope to develop the business still further if so wished, by offering evening meals, themed weekends and greater use of the grounds and garden. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate and Preferred Commercial highly recommends this at your earliest convenience.
