The accommodation currently offers 8/9 en suite letting bedrooms with owners accommodation, private garden/yard area and parking facilities.

The average net turnover over the last 7 years has been around £173,000 despite being closed for long periods during the start of the business and more recently during the pandemic. They estimate current turnover to be around £195,000 per year.
