Lee Road, Lynton, Devon, EX35

Positioned along the ever-popular Lee Road in the sought-after village of Lynton, this substantial and immaculately presented nine-bedroom guest house offers a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving hospitality business in a picturesque coastal setting. Just a short stroll from the heart of the village and within easy reach of the renowned South West Coast Path, the property enjoys an enviable location that continues to attract visitors year-round.

The ground floor accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to cater for both guests and owners alike. To the front of the property, a welcoming sitting room is bathed in natural light courtesy of an attractive bay window, creating a warm and inviting first impression. Beyond, a generously proportioned dining room extends across much of the property, providing ample space for guest dining and social gatherings. The kitchen is well-appointed and of a comfortable size, ideal for the smooth running of a guest house operation. A separate utility room offers practical space for laundry and day-to-day tasks. Completing the ground floor is a private lounge reserved for the owners, affording a welcome retreat away from the main business areas.

Ascending to the first floor, there are four well-presented guest bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite shower room. The layout is both practical and appealing, with two rooms enjoying rear-facing aspects, one of these rooms, which is bedroom 5, is the sleeping quarters for the current owners. Bedroom four is positioned centrally, and bedrooms one and two overlook the front elevation, all finished to a high standard and designed with guest comfort in mind.

The second floor hosts a further four guest bedrooms, each equally well-appointed and featuring en-suite facilities with bathtubs and overhead showers, offering a slightly more indulgent accommodation option. Throughout the property, there is a clear sense of care and attention, with the current owners having maintained and updated the interiors to an exceptional standard, resulting in a turnkey business opportunity.

Externally, the property boasts attractive frontage with a pleasant garden area, while to the rear there are additional gardens providing further outdoor space for guests to enjoy. Of particular note is the ample parking provision at the rear, a valuable asset for a property of this nature, comfortably accommodating multiple vehicles.

The business operates on a seasonal basis between March and the end of October, and by choice trades just below the VAT threshold. There is clear potential for incoming owners to extend the opening period and further increase turnover if desired, including the fact the current owners do not offer the option for evening meals currently. Room tariffs currently range between £120.00 to £145.00 per night on a bed and breakfast basis. Audited accounts will be made available to genuinely interested parties following an inspection of the premises, with the vendors’ consent. Our clients have been in residence since 2018 and have maintained the property to a good standard, with the guest accommodation tastefully decorated throughout. An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale and quality of the accommodation on offer.

Set within one of North Devon’s most charming coastal villages, this impressive guest house combines generous accommodation, excellent presentation, and a prime location, making it an outstanding proposition for those seeking a lifestyle business in a truly delightful setting.
