    The Business

    Our clients acquired The White Swan in 2019 and have since appointed the property to very high specification. Like many other hospitality businesses, our clients had a turbulent trading period during the Covid-19 Pandemic, but they succeeded in building a substantial trade offering accommodation, food and wet sales.

    More recently, The White Swan has operated as a wet-only bar that also provides letting accommodation.

    A room costs £70 per night and does not include breakfast.

    Prospective purchasers will undoubtedly see the opportunity to offer food in the evenings and at lunchtimes and might also consider the introduction of a breakfast trade for overnight guests and members of the local community. Greater use might also be made of the current games room for functions.

    Accounting information will be released to potential purchasers following a productive formal viewing.
