BUSINESS
Our clients have owned The Grafton Hotel since August 2002. The business is currently operated solely by our husband and wife clients who have worked together to create this positively reviewed, repeat business venue.
The Grafton Hotel welcomes a variety of guests such as families, mature holidaymakers, business professionals, backpackers and those needing accommodation when attending specific events on the Lincolnshire coast. The property is also popular with disabled guests due to its five ground floor chalets. For further information regarding the business, see:
Although a cooked breakfast menu is currently available to guests, the opportunity to introduce an evening meal offering, as well as allowing 'walk in' external trade is available to a new operator. Our clients also note that all bookings are currently taken by telephone, meaning a new owner could introduce an online booking system which might lead to an increase in business. Each of the 13 guest rooms - five chalets, two ground floor bedrooms and six first floor bedrooms - benefits from tea/coffee making facilities, TV, ironing board, fridge, towels and an alarm clock. The business trades for twelve months of the year.
The property offers masses of potential for a new operator. The five chalets to the rear of the site have their own individual electric meters which means there is potential to use them as individual retail units, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Accounting detail will be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing. The business is currently supported by a dynamic website which will be passed over to the buyer on completion.
