CoGoGo welcomes to the market The Bath House Hotel, a beautiful 20-bedroom property of dual aspects, retaining plenty of character, and original features throughout over a total of 5 floors.

Although a lovely, substantial, well maintained property, the business benefits 20 tastefully presented en-suite bedrooms over 3 accommodation floors which benefit largely full occupancy during the spring and summer months. The Hotel is ideal for shooting party guests, wedding venue guests, surfing types, families and tourists, and thrives on its family run traditions. With a restaurant, function suite, and easy access to local tourism including ‘Lundy Island’ and excellent golf, the property is ideally positioned and takes advantage of this mixed clientele from March to October.

In our client’s careful ownership for several years, and For Sale due to emigration the business has a fantastic reputation and boasts superb feedback online, including TripAdvisor, where many guests score it 5 out of 5 referring to its ‘friendliness’, ‘brilliant location’, ‘excellent food’ and ‘cleanliness’.

Bath House Hotel benefits from a dedicated website with ample information and the sources to book online. The website can be found at www.bathhousehotel.co.uk The purchaser could look to upgrade the site and add further social media and build online presence locally, with the addition of a loyalty style scheme.

Although an already successful and popular hotel, our clients continue with the ongoing modern and contemporary style upgrades that are evident throughout. Organic growth and scope is always a possibility within any business, and our client’s currently run the hotel at a pace and lifestyle to suit both the main season, and themselves including closure over winter and Christmas period.
