BUSINESS:
Our clients have owned Stone Lodge since September 2021 where the business traded under tenanted operation as a 4 bedroom self catering guesthouse popular with tourists, backpackers and visitors to the local area. The business ceased trading in late 2023 and has in that time been utilised as a residence.

The premises allows for residential use therefore purchasers may intend to purchase the property to be utilised as a private dwelling, or alternatively for use as a guesthouse. Before the most recent operator vacated the premises plans were in place to convert the garage and rear outhouse into a dedicated bar which our client informs us due to the property's location and competition within the area could prove to be a successful additional revenue stream to an accommodation led business.

The business has most recently been let on a traditional tenancy agreement and therefore no trading accounts are available. No trade is sold or warranted. Historic trade accounts are unavailable. Prospective purchasers must make their own assumptions as to likely trade levels having due regard to the location and potential of the site.
