The Hideaway At Windermere has been in the ownership of the same family since 1991. The current family members have continued to invest in the property to meet the expectations of today’s discerning visitor in this very popular destination and they are now looking to retire.

The business is currently trading successfully as an owner-operated bed and breakfast hotel with the potential for a new owner to increase revenue by serving evening meals. The business benefits from a resident drinks licence.

The property has recently had planning consent to operate as a standalone, self-contained, single unit holiday let and, though this consent has now expired, the vendor would look to renew the consent if a purchaser wished to operate the business on that basis.

Financial information available upon request to proceedable potential purchasers.
