Mabie Farm Park gives various opportunities to any potential buyer. The business could be developed to include a larger main reception area expanding the gift section. The cafe offering could be expanded to include longer opening hours along with more local suppliers and products.

The park currently trades for seven months of the year. Extending these opening times would immediately add to the turnover and net profit.

The addition of the ten pitches onsite for holiday lodges provides a potential lucrative income stream for any buyer and could be further expanded to provide a strong business income stream alongside the existing farm park revenue (STPP).
