    The Business

    Since February 2016, Aura Guest House has been under our client’s ownership. The business is operated 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. Contractors employed in the decommissioning of the nearby Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal also frequent the premises.

    There is scope for a new operator to increase the business’s income by advertising on Booking.com, creating a dedicated website and utilising the ground floor private accommodation as additional letting space, should they not need to live 'on site'. 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. Our client informs us that in 2025, the property underwent an extensive refurbishment which included upgrades to the en suites, bedrooms, roofs, windows and external areas. The renovation totalled in the region of £150,000.

    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.
