Description

BED AND BREAKFAST in Burnley for Sale.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly regarded freehold bed and breakfast occupying a prominent corner position within a densely populated residential area of Burnley. The business has been successfully owned and operated by our client since 2010 and is now reluctantly offered for sale due to impending retirement.

The Ormerod enjoys an excellent reputation for its warm hospitality, cleanliness and outstanding breakfasts, benefiting from a loyal customer base, repeat trade and strong word-of-mouth recommendations. The business is particularly well regarded online, holding a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award and an impressive 4.6 / 5 rating from nearly 50 reviews, placing it amongst the most highly rated guest accommodation establishments in the area. Guests consistently praise the welcoming owners, comfortable and immaculately presented rooms, peaceful atmosphere and "outstanding" breakfast offering.

Currently operated on lifestyle hours, the business provides an excellent platform for growth. Significant scope exists for new owners to increase occupancy levels, expand marketing activity, accept additional bookings and introduce evening meals for both residents and non-residents, creating an additional revenue stream from the established customer base.

The substantial freehold premises comprise two adjoining properties and provide well-presented guest accommodation together with spacious owner's accommodation. Facilities briefly include:

Residents' lounge, breakfast room, kitchen, eight letting bedrooms currently in use, one additional guest bedroom currently not utilised.
