VALUE ADD OPPORTUNITIES
Planning consent was granted in May 2022 to build three self-contained holiday chalets in the grounds adjacent to the main hotel. The current owners run the hotel as a “lifestyle” business and therefore it only trades5 days a week and is closed for a minimum of 6 weeks in December and January. It is estimated that per year there are 131 days where the hotel is not trading. This creates opportunity to increase revenue and EBITDA.
