Melbreak House is a lovely period Victorian property situated on the corner of Church Street, only a short level walk from the thriving centre of Keswick. Originally two properties, the houses weere brought together to form a very spacious and easily managed guest house having the benefit of 8 spacious and individually-styled en suite letting bedrooms, complimented by three bedroom accommodation for the resident owners. If desired, the property could once again be split back in to two individual properties, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The Highworth is a stunningly attractive town hotel, restaurant and bar formed within a listed, mid-terraced Georgian townhouse. Guests arriving by car drive through the old coaching arch, a structure with development possibilities, into a large car park. The hotel has a light and bright feel with a tasteful palate of colours that embraces its history and yet has a contemporary twist - something found throughout the building, including 10 super letting bedrooms which are popular with both leisure and business travellers.

The Mackay’s Hotel is centrally located in the Highland village of Strathpeffer, an attractive north Highland town that was popularised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a health spa resort. Nowadays, Strathpeffer remains a very popular tourist destination and of course is relatively close, with ease of access, to the increasing popular city of Inverness. Strathpeffer is an ideal base from where to explore the delights of northern Scotland – John O’Groats, the dramatic hills and coastlines of Wester-Ross and Torridon, the Isle of Skye and the famed Loch Ness are just a few of the “tourist must see” all within a day-drive and return of Strathpeffer.

The Mackay’s Hotel is developed from an original detached adjacent villa; extensively extended to the rear with additional bedrooms and the leisure facilities.

There are not many hotels where are you
only need to say the name and everyone
will fill in the location for you but The
Feathers at Woodstock is one of them.
The business is formed within a series of attractive
Georgian houses converted many years ago to its
current use. Today, a program of refurbishment sees
the hotel very well presented for its marketplace and
it trades as a thriving all-round business with a strong
high tariff room trade while also drawing both locals
and visitors to the bar and restaurant (many
remembering its title as having the world’s largest
collection of gin) throughout an extended season.

Woodstock is a very pretty market town just 10 miles
west of Oxford on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. The principal attraction
of the town is Blenheim Palace, the main home of the
Duke of Marlborough, birthplace of Winston Churchill,
and a World Heritage site, which borders the town to
the immediate west. In 2018 Blenheim Palace attracted
over 900,000 visitors. Bicester Village Outlet shopping
Centre is just 11 miles away and attracted 6.4 million
visitors in 2018. The strength of the hotel’s location
is clearly evident.

Our client, a private investor, purchased the hotel in
1999 and the product has been upgraded significantly
during the time of his ownership. Whilst he has enjoyed
owning The Feathers immensely, he has reassessed his
priorities and decided that now is the time for him to
sell the business this presenting a very rare opportunity
to purchase an immensely well-known and well
located hotel.

Whilst golf tourists are drawn to the Old
course (which dates back to before 1674 and
has an almost mythical status in the game),
the other Links trust courses - New Course,
Strathtyrum, Eden, Jubilee and the Castle
course are well regarded, and offer excellent
golf for all abilities.
In addition, Kingsbarns, located around 5
miles south of the town which opened in
2000, is highly rated and hosts a number of
national and international championships,
including most recently the Ladies British
Open, and the annual Dunhill Championship.
The Old Course has hosted the prestigious
Open Championship on 29 occasions, more
than any other course and attracts around
240,000 tourists to the host area. It is next
returning to Fife in Summer 2022, which after
COVID is expected to attract a record crowd
and is always extremely fruitful for the hotel.
In addition, the hotel overlooks the well
regarded Lundin Links course and only
around 3 miles away is Scotland’s latest high
quality offering, Dumbarnie Links. Launched
in 2020, the Clive Clark designed course is fast
becoming a renowned links course, and is
expected to attract golfers from around the
world post-covid.

Fairlawn House is a long standing guest house which was
acquired by our clients in 2010. They have worked
extremely hard to re-establish the business and improve
the property, in doing so they have added to the bedroom
stock and created a lovely family home. Due to changing
family commitments and other career opportunities our
clients have taken the reluctant decision to market the
property.

Larry's Lodge occupies a superb trading position in the heart of Keswick. A most attractive traditional Victorian villa, the accommodation is laid out over four floors with 4 double en suite bedrooms complemented by a much in-demand single bedroom with private facilities. The owners have the benefit of an apartment, extending to 2 bedrooms and appointed to the very highest of standards.

The Royal Oak, Rosthwaite, is a small family run hotel, which has now been in the same family ownership for more than 50 years, currently trading in the style of an alpine catered chalet and is set in the picturesque Borrowdale Valley, just six miles south of Keswick. The main accommodation is a traditional Cumberland Longhouse which dates back to around 1750. Additional rooms are housed in the adjacent converted barn annexes. Formerly a farm and miners’ tavern, the public areas still retain and reflect much of the charming character of its heritage. In the main house, there are currently eight en suite letting bedrooms, and two single letting bedrooms with their own private bathrooms. Across the old farm yard there are “Merrybreeches” & “Beck Bank Barn” - both having views of Stonethwaite Beck. The former is a converted barn which provides four additional & spacious en suite bedrooms, the latter a one bedroom self-contained apartment, currently let as a superior room for longer stays, but this would also be suitable for self-catering. The owner/manager has the benefit of a three bedroom flat which is located to the main building.
