GENERAL INFORMATION
BUSINESS POTENTIAL
The Modbury Inn presents an outstanding opportunity for an experienced operator or new entrant to the trade. With its generous trading areas, established reputation within the town and enviable position in the South Hams, the inn is well placed to capture both local custom and the strong year-round tourist trade.
The five en suite letting rooms provide an immediate source of accommodation income, supported by the area’s popularity with holidaymakers, short-break visitors and business travellers. The trade garden offers significant potential for al fresco dining and summer events, which are becoming an increasingly important feature of hospitality businesses in the South West. With its well-equipped kitchen and flexible dining areas, the inn is well suited to a food-led operation, allowing it to capitalise on the growing demand for quality dining experiences in the area due to the limited immediate competition. In addition, the inclusion of a four bedroom owners’ apartment provides excellent on-site accommodation, helping to reduce overheads and making the business more manageable for hands-on operators.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold South Hams inn with both accommodation and food-led potential, in a thriving and affluent location.
