Wye Knot Stop, Llyswen, Brecon, Powys, LD3 0UR

LOCATION
The Wye Knot Stop is a character cottage style café and bed & breakfast, that has operated in its current form for a number of years. It is well situated to take advantage of its position between Brecon, Hay and Builth Wells, being an area that is home to a large number of towns and villages. It also benefits from its close proximity to the Brecon Beacons National Park, the River Wye and the Black Mountains, which all attract a large number of tourists and outdoor enthusiasts visiting the area, especially during the holiday period.

The property is semi-detached and appears to be constructed in the main of stone and brick with render and colour washed elevations under a pitched slate roof. It offers café, with three letting bedrooms and comfortable owner's flat. It also benefits from a small number of parking spaces. The premises hold a prominent location in the centre of the village overlooking the Green facing the main road.

The pretty village of Llyswen is located in the heart of the beautiful Wye Valley, close to the banks of the River Wye, just to the north of the Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains. It is a popular area for those enjoying country sports, especially that of fishing in the nearby River Wye, and walkers, hikers, bikers and horse riders visiting the outstanding surrounding countryside.

THE BUSINESS
The business was purchased by the current owners in 2016. Prior to closing, it had traded successfully under their tenure as a 'way of life' business, only operating approximately eight months of the year between March and October, trading five days a week between the hours of 09:30 until 15:00.

The business has always traded just below the VAT threshold. For the last financial year ending 30 April 2023, sales of £47,441 were achieved, working on a gross profit of some 68.9% and achieving a healthy level of adjusted net profit of £26,878.
