Highly Profitable Established Leisure Business, Peak District, SK17 0TL

The properties sleep up to a maximum of 62 persons in total and have both been carefully and tastefully refurbished and adapted to provide amazing spaces.

This is an opportunity that would suit several different types of buyers including a ‘hands off’ style owner or equally someone in hospitality or property lettings. The business is successfully running with a strong trading performance, has great reviews, lots of future bookings and diligent current owners.

The properties are located just a short drive apart (5.6 miles) and bookings can therefore cover both properties on occasion. Both properties are located within the Peak District National Park within easy reach of the towns of Buxton, Bakewell and Leek.

These locations appeal to a wide variety of guests year-round, whether it’s a Hen or Stag event or a family or work colleagues coming together. The Peak District is blessed with stunning countryside, great walks, lovely towns, as well as some of the country’s top visitor attractions.

The local towns of Buxton are around 10 minutes away and Bakewell is around 25 minutes also. Both of these historic locations have numerous attractions, shops, cafes and restaurants. Locally there is also a wealth of pubs and restaurants including the highest village pub in England.

Other visitor attractions include Alton Towers, Chatsworth House and many more.

The Lodge is an exceptionally attractive country residence with historic character and outstanding panoramic views across the open countryside. It offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over multiple floors catering for 10 to 28 guests. Internally, the house retains a strong sense of character and offers flexible spaces which are well suited to the property’s guest demand.

The ground floor includes a boot room, modern fitted kitchen, pool room, relaxing snug, open plan lounge and dining room with central feature fireplace and galleried landing.

There are 10 bedrooms in total, three bedrooms to the ground floor and seven bedrooms to the first floor, each with their own bathroom.

Externally, the property is set within established grounds. The outdoor space includes a mini golf area, picnic benches, table tennis and plenty of parking.

The Inn is a distinctive and characterful former inn which is rich in traditional charm and versatile accommodation. Internally, the accommodation is well‑proportioned and therefore is suitable for a broad range of guest types. The property comfortably sleeps up to 34 guests.

The ground floor includes the former ‘pub’ area – a great fun entertainment space with a bar, table football and pool table, three open plan lounges with TV’s, relaxing sofas, a large dining room with amazing views, a modern fitted kitchen and guest toilets.

There are 13 bedrooms in total with six bedrooms to the ground floor and seven further rooms to the first floor – all the rooms are ensuite.

Externally, the Inn benefits from a generous outdoor space and a number of seating areas including large lawned gardens, a central courtyard area and a large car park.

The business, which includes both properties, has a successful trading history and is currently operated on a reasonably hands-off basis by its owners.

There is a good level of advance bookings, which a buyer would see substantial benefit from, and a good level of repeat bookings.

An established website, a team of contractors, including cleaners and maintenance people, make this an ideal opportunity for those seeking a high level of return.

A wedding licence has just been awarded and represents an opportunity (amongst others) over and above the current trading performance.

We understand the turnover for the period 2025-2026 was circa £462,000 (excluding VAT) with an adjusted EBITDA of £303,000.

There is still further potential to grow the business going forward and we would be happy to discuss this in further detail.
