Undisclosed

A delightful and substantial 55 bedroom en suite hotel offered for sale in a prime position just a short walk from Torquay harbour, seafront and town centre. This well established, family run hotel has traded successfully for over 20 years and is presented as a genuine turnkey opportunity, supported by excellent forward bookings and a loyal, experienced team of staff.

The hotel offers an impressive range of guest facilities including multiple lounge areas, a large dining room, games room, entertainment suite, licensed bar and extensive terraces with well maintained gardens. Ample parking is provided, including space for two coaches and approximately twenty vehicles, making the property particularly well suited to group and coach tour trade.

The business currently operates a successful coach touring model, benefiting from strong customer reviews and repeat group bookings, with confirmed itineraries for 2025 and growing demand already secured for 2026. While the owners operate on a flexible winter schedule to support work life balance, there is clear scope to maximise trading throughout the year. The sale includes a comprehensive handover and training to ensure a smooth transition and continued success.

All trade fixtures, fittings, equipment, land and buildings included except the vendor’s private inventory. Inventory available to serious buyers following viewing.

In addition to its current format, the property offers significant long term potential for diversification, including conversion to self contained holiday apartments or repositioning as a smaller, upmarket boutique hotel, subject to any necessary consents. The sale is prompted solely by retirement, presenting an exceptional opportunity to acquire a well located hotel of scale in one of Devon’s most popular coastal destinations.
