The Ratcliffe Guest House is located on the corner of Garfield and Kernou Road, a short level walk from the seafront, beaches, pier, promenade, and the bustling town centre of Paignton.
Situated between Torquay and Brixham, which together form the renowned 'English Riviera', Paignton is celebrated as one of the UK's most popular, and accessible holiday resorts. Served by a mainline railway station with national connections from Newton Abbot and Exeter, motorway network and regional and international airport in Exeter.
The present owners have created a successful and well-regarded business evidenced by industry ratings (Exceptional 9.7 on Booking.com and Excellent 5 star rating on Tripadvisor) contributing to a healthy repeat customer base and income.
The Ratcliffe Guest House currently trades from April to October with scope to expand the business by extending the trading period and number of letting rooms if so desired and is an opportunity not to be missed.
