The Business
Since 1985, the Garden Hotel has been operated as a family run business and is now offered for sale to permit retirement. Accounts show there is potential to generate up to £140,000 - £150,000 net per annum, with huge scope for increased sales by extending the current opening hours, increasing marketing activity, converting the multiple outbuildings to additional letting rooms (STPP) and letting the retail/shop unit. Our clients advise occupancy levels are consistent all year round - at between 80-90% - and the business boasts great reviews on TripAdvisor and booking.com. Additionally, the restaurant won the Welsh Asian Food Awards in 2019 and was a finalist in the Oriental Establishment Category of the Good Food Awards in 2021. In the 2023/24, it won a coveted Good Food Awards Gold Seal, an award given to restaurants achieving consistently high customer ratings/votes over three years.
