Well-established and profitable traditional hotel with sea views, located in one of Weymouth’s most desirable trading positions close to the town centre and seafront. This attractive Grade II listed property offers strong and consistent income with clear scope to increase trade under new ownership.
The hotel provides 12 well-presented en suite letting bedrooms, many enjoying sea views, supported by excellent guest facilities including a dining room seating up to 34 covers, a breakfast preparation room, and a substantial recently refitted commercial catering kitchen equipped with stainless steel work surfaces, new cooker and extraction system. Additional facilities include a laundry room, private owners’ lounge/diner, three private bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.
Situated towards the end of the terrace within easy walking distance of all town centre amenities, the property benefits from gas-fired central heating via two boilers for heating and a separate boiler for hot water. The front elevation was redecorated in 2020, with the rear redecorated in late 2021, and the hotel has won the ‘Weymouth in Bloom’ award on multiple occasions, reflecting the high standards maintained throughout.
The business operates as a traditionally run small licensed hotel offering bed and breakfast with optional evening meals outside of August. Owned and operated by the same husband-and-wife team since 2003, the hotel is now offered for sale due to retirement. Pre-Covid accounts to December 2019 show turnover of £146,178 excluding VAT with a reconstituted net profit of approximately £60,000 per annum. Post-Covid trading has achieved turnover of £177,000 excluding VAT, despite the owners choosing to open only six months per year.
There is significant potential for incoming owners to extend trading to eight months or more, including winter months, as Weymouth benefits from a permanent population of over 50,000 and year-round visitor demand from commerce, walking, sailing and events. The secure long lease and strong profitability may support business mortgage funding, subject to status.
