Weymouth, Dorset, UK
Asking Price:
£395,000 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
£90,000
Net Profit:
Under £50K

Exceptionally positioned Georgian guest house enjoying panoramic sea and harbour views from all letting rooms, located directly on Weymouth’s famous seafront. This well-established and profitable bed and breakfast benefits from a prime trading position and strong repeat custom.

The business operates as a traditional bed and breakfast from an impressive double-fronted Grade II listed Georgian property. There are eight well-presented en suite guest bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views, alongside spacious owners’ accommodation including a delightful private ground floor living room overlooking the sea. The property is maintained to a high decorative standard and benefits from gas-fired central heating.

Situated just moments from Weymouth Harbour, beach and town centre amenities, the location attracts consistent seasonal demand and strong occupancy throughout the summer months, supported by numerous local events. The business is currently operated by a husband-and-wife team and trades primarily during the main season, with limited trading days taken off each month. Annual takings comfortably reach the VAT threshold of approximately £90,000, with excellent levels of repeat business.

There is clear potential to increase revenues by extending the trading season, adjusting pricing, or introducing additional services. The property is held on a highly valuable internal-only repairing lease, with the local council responsible for structural repairs and exterior decoration, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance liabilities. A private car parking space further enhances the appeal.

Valuable Internal Only Repairing Lease - Council is responsible for Property Repairs and Exterior Decoration
