CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this well-established bed & breakfast and holiday cottage business in Whitchurch, Herefordshire. The business was established in 2003 and has been in our clients` careful ownership since 2009. Only now is the business being offered to the market due to our clients` wish to emigrate. The business is open all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £60,000 with a gross profit of approximately 75%. The turnover is generated by the letting of three en-suite guest rooms and two holiday cottages.
This prestigious, well established business has been owned and very successfully run by the current owners for the past five years. The popular bed & breakfast and cottages have been awarded AA four star awards and is a 2013 Trip Advisor winner, as well as being an AA finalist in 2013. All three guest bedrooms in the main house are fully en-suite, centrally heated, tea/coffee making facilities and decorated to a very high standard. The two holiday cottages are set within the grounds of Norton House and have been lovingly converted from old farm buildings, both of which also have private gardens.
We feel there is scope to increase the turnover by embarking on a small marketing campaign to advertise the business and the excellent service provided. The business already has two excellent websites to promote the business, the bed & breakfast is at www.norton-house.com and the holiday cottages are at www.norton-cottages.com, both websites provide excellent information about the business and also offer online booking facilities. We feel this is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to take this already thriving and profitable business to the next level; therefore early viewing must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
The business is owner run and managed.
The business is open all year round.
