A well-established and highly regarded guest house offering an excellent lifestyle business opportunity, ideally located within a short, level walk of Minehead seafront and town centre.
The Waverley occupies a prime position on Tregonwell Road, a popular hospitality location known for its collection of hotels and guest houses. Minehead is West Somerset’s leading tourist destination and the gateway to Exmoor National Park, with strong year-round appeal supported by Butlin’s Holiday Resort and a wide range of shops and amenities.
This substantial end-terraced property is arranged over three floors and currently offers 9 well-presented letting bedrooms, from a total potential of 11 guest rooms. Eight bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, with one having a private bathroom. The accommodation is complemented by generous private owner living space, making it ideal for owner-operators seeking a balanced work-life setup.
The ground floor is accessed via a wide entrance hallway and includes a guest sitting room, separate dining room, open-plan kitchen, and a range of flexible private rooms currently used as bedrooms, lounges, office/function space and an art studio, along with a private shower room. Recent improvements include the installation of five new en-suite bathrooms and redecoration of most rooms.
Externally, the property is set back from the road behind a level lawned foregarden and benefits from a garage and secure gated parking for up to three vehicles. To the rear is a lawned garden with shed, greenhouse and an attractive covered patio area, with inland views towards North Hill.
The business operates seasonally from April through to the end of October and trades deliberately below the VAT threshold, offering clear potential for growth through extended opening periods or increased occupancy. The guest house is run by a hands-on husband and wife team, with family support during peak times.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable hospitality business, substantial home and lifestyle investment in one of Somerset’s most popular coastal towns.
