Description

Description

A two storey detached country house dating back to1780, which was a boarding school until 1969, it was converted to a hotel in the early 1970’s and has been substantially extended. Before it closed in January 2025 it traded as a 4 Star Hotel with 38 letting bedrooms, bar/restaurant, function facilities and spa with swimming pool.

Location

The hotel is located on the western side of the A525 in a rural position just on the outskirts of St Asaph. St Asaph is a small town with good links to the A55 North Wales Expressway. Rhyl and Prestatyn are located seven and 10 miles respectively to the north on the coast and Colwyn Bay is located 14 miles to the west, with Chester 28 miles to the east.

External Details

There are large lawned areas to the left-hand side of the property, together with a small stone flagged external terrace. There is a small Japanese garden which was used for outside wedding ceremonies.

There is a large tarmacadam parking area to the front and right-hand side of the building, which can accommodate parking for approximately 150 cars.

Total area is approximately 2.3 acres.

The Opportunity

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.

Business Rates

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