The property is in good condition throughout and the owners have undertaken various repairs and improvements during their period of ownership. This has included re-roofing the main building, new Wi-Fi system, new heating system and new CCTV system.

When the hotel was in operation, it traded as a full service four star hotel primarily catering for weddings, functions and conferences, with a good business trade during the week. All rooms are licenced for weddings, as is the Japanese garden.

The sale presents an opportunity for an experienced operator to acquire a closed hotel which requires little to no investment and is ready to start trading immediately.

The rateable value as at 1st April 2023 is £70,000. Confirmation of business rates payable should be obtained from the local authority.
