CoGoGo welcomes to the market this centrally located 17th century Grade 2 listed 27-bedroom coaching inn, all with en-suites, having separate bar and plenty of parking.The current owners have run the hotel for the past 3/4 years, mainly concentrating on the accommodation side of the business, but also offering some events and conferences, together with a separate bar. The rooms are in standard or superior style and are double, single, twin or Family rooms.These also have the space for wedding receptions, birthday parties, or any other event. They can host functions for up to 120 people in their main function room and can accommodate larger numbers by combining this area with the restaurant. Also, for parties of 50 or fewer, the restaurant offers a comfortable and convenient space. There is also a range of facilities for meetings, conferences, training and other events, including exhibitions. Their newly refurbished hall seats about 90 with tables, with additional space available and linking to their lounge/breakfast room, they can comfortably accommodate larger numbers. Lastly, they have the village bar, which offers a range of drinks and ales and a varied food menu. There is a website that can be found at http://www.georgehotelpangbourne.com/location.html and they are also on Facebook and trip advisor.Presently they don’t push their conference or wedding facilities, so this would be a great way of increasing overall business and subsequently increasing the turnover and taking it to the next level. The bar is also only run for the customers who stay at the hotel, rather than it being advertised as a pub/bar for the local area. With these improvements, together with more advertising and marketing this business really has great potential.An internal inspection is very highly recommended to fully appreciate the space and great potential on offer.
The business is run by the current owners and 4 other members of staff, plus 1 full time.
