The Business: For the last few years the business has been run by a husband and wife team without the benefit of staff and hence modestly traded to suit the present owner’s interests and commitments.   During this period the property has been maintained to a high standard and they have carried out a number of substantial improvements including the conversion of the former stable block into the three holiday units known as Peninsular Terrace.  The owners consider that there is still more potential in providing five further letting rooms within the main period house instead of the function room and some of the private accommodation to increase the letting accommodation and to expand the catering/restaurant side of the business.
