Premises Details:

Property:
An exceptional opportunity to acquire White Heather Guest House, a thriving and highly regarded guest house in the popular Lincolnshire coastal town of Mablethorpe. Combining a successful hospitality business with an enviable lifestyle opportunity, this established property enjoys an excellent reputation, loyal repeat guests and strong year-round visitor demand.

The guest house offers six attractive en-suite letting bedrooms, all presented to a high standard and providing comfortable accommodation for holidaymakers visiting the Lincolnshire coast. The business is well established and ready for new owners to continue trading immediately while benefiting from significant potential for future growth. Set within generous grounds, the property boasts a large, beautifully maintained garden, a productive vegetable garden, and a substantial private car park providing ample parking for guests and owners alike. The property also benefits from solar power (19 panels), helping to reduce operating costs and receiving a Feed In Tariff to support a sustainable and environmentally conscious business.

A key feature is the good-sized owner's accommodation, providing comfortable private living space separate from the guest areas, making it ideal for owner-operators seeking an excellent work-life balance. Further enhancing the property's appeal is a separate annexe with excellent letting potential, offering scope for additional holiday accommodation, therapy suite or long-term rental income or staff accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The extensive grounds also offer exciting development potential, with space that could be suitable for glamping pods, holiday lodges or additional tourism accommodation, (mains water/sewerage and electricity already in place) subject to planning permission, creating opportunities to further diversify and increase revenue. White Heather Guest House represents a rare turnkey investment opportunity, combining six en-suite guest rooms, spacious owner's accommodation, a separate potentially income-generating annexe, large gardens, solar power, ample parking and significant expansion potential, all within one of Lincolnshire's most popular seaside destinations.

Business:
Since October 2018, The White Heather Guest House has been under our client’s ownership. Alongside her daughter, she operates the business as a destination, coastal resort guest house which enjoys much repeat business from a variety of guests including mature couples, holidaymakers and those needing a base when visiting friends and family in the area and has been awarded top property in Mablethorpe 2024 by Travel Myth and is ranked number one guest house in Mablethorpe on TripAdvisor.

There is scope for a new operator to increase the business’s income by advertising the detached annex at the rear of the plot to paying guests and by utilising the ground floor bedroom/storage room as a dedicated bedroom (adding an en suite shower room to the space). Although a cooked breakfast menu is currently available to guests, the opportunity to introduce an evening meal service, as well as allowing 'walk in' trade, could also be considered.

The premises are currently operated as a lifestyle business and, as such, we believe this opportunity to be ideal for a purchaser looking for the same. For additional information regarding the business, visit:

Accounting detail will be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing. The business is currently supported by a dynamic website and social media accounts which will be passed over to the buyer on completion.
