Business
Colebrook House is for sale due to retirement and has been under the same ownership since 2005 and has built up high levels of repeat and recommendation trade. The current owners use Booking.com, TripAdvisor and their own website to promote their business and are not VAT registered at present. Our clients deliberately restrict trade due to lifestyle choice but current income could easily be surpassed. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
