LOCATION
Torquay is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations, with a good all-year round trade. It is only a short distance from Dartmouth and equal distance to the cities of Plymouth and Exeter – with its international airport, mainline train station and M5 motorway. Situated off Newton Road, Purple Tree Guest House is located just a short walking distance to the picturesque Marina and Harbour of Torquay and a level walk along the esplanade, with lovely views over Torbay to Paignton and Brixham. Also, within a short walk is the main shopping precinct, Princess Theatre and the Riviera Convention Centre.
BUSINESS
The guest house has been owner operated for many years and has earned itself a fine reputation from clients resulting in high repeat custom and subsequent impressive profits. This business prides itself on enviable Trip Advisor and Booking.Com reviews which has contributed to the success which the Purple Tree now enjoys.
This easily operated business opens for approx. 8 months per year due to lifestyle choice and we, the agents, feel there is tremendous opportunity to expand on this already impressive turnover by simply opening for longer, taking advantage of the extensive client’s database and its online presence.
Because of the swimming pool and great facilities on offer, the business receives fantastic forward bookings and again the 2023 season is looking to become another profitable year. Full trading figures will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
