Since October 2018, The White Heather Guest House has been under our client’s ownership. Alongside her daughter, she operates the business as a destination, coastal resort guest house which enjoys much repeat business from a variety of guests including mature couples, holidaymakers and those needing a base when visiting friends and family in the area and has been awarded top property in Mablethorpe 2024 by Travel Myth and is ranked number one guest house in Mablethorpe on TripAdvisor.

There is scope for a new operator to increase the business’s income by advertising the detached annex at the rear of the plot to paying guests and by utilising the ground floor bedroom/storage room as a dedicated bedroom (adding an en suite shower room to the space). Although a cooked breakfast menu is currently available to guests, the opportunity to introduce an evening meal service, as well as allowing 'walk in' trade, could also be considered.

The premises are currently operated as a lifestyle business and, as such, we believe this opportunity to be ideal for a purchaser looking for the same. For additional information regarding the business, visit:

Accounting detail will be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing. The business is currently supported by a dynamic website and social media accounts which will be passed over to the buyer on completion.

FREEHOLD Asking Price £400,000 to include goodwill, fixtures and fittings. Stock at valuation in addition.

No direct approach to be made to the business; please direct all communications through Sidney Phillips.
