18th Century Country Inn on Isle of Bute For Sale in Isle Of Bute- Business 4 Sale .co.uk

Business Summary

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular country inn, which dates back to 1786 and which has been in our clients' hands since 1997. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to relocate. Kingarth Hotel offers a public bar, restaurant and function facilities, 3 letting rooms and a bowling green, and generates a turnover in the region of £400,000 per annum with a gross profit of 60%. Plans have been drawn up to convert existing chalets, which are currently used for storage, into a 2-storey block of 10 letting rooms, which would no doubt increase turnover. There is also scope to market the function side of the business further. The premises boast 2-bedroom owners' accommodation which are finished to a high standard throughout. There is a quality web site in place which offers information about the services and facilities of the hotel as well as local information and attractions. The business boasts an enviable reputation for the quality of food and service and benefits from much repeat custom. We are advised that there is a 2011 Ford Tourneo minibus, used as a courtesy bus, available by separate negotiation. We feel this is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving and well-established country inn in such a desirable location. Early discussions with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
