BUSINESS

Our clients have been operating successfully for several years without the need of any staff for approx. 8½ months a year due to lifestyle choice. Trading on a B&B basis. Due to its unique location and extensive bar, lounge and dining room, our clients have provided simple catering functions for meetings etc. during the quiet months. We the agents feel that this property could easily trade all year round, simply upgrade to ‘Boutique’ guesthouse or even re-introduce the previously successful function trade. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing
