Orchard Lodge offers an established self-catering leisure business in Boscastle with strong summer trading and clear scope for growth. The detached cottage-style property sits on a large plot with generous gardens, six off-road parking spaces and a mix of guest and owner accommodation arranged over multiple reception rooms — a practical live-work setup for a holiday operator.
The business currently records weekly self-catering sales in excess of £60,000 and includes five en-suite guest bedrooms plus comfortable owners’ accommodation with two en-suite double bedrooms and open-plan living. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, supporting online bookings and guest communication, while the village location on Cornwall’s rugged north coast attracts steady tourism traffic.
Buyers should note key running and property considerations: the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, with double glazing installed before 2002, oil-fired central heating and an EPC rating of D. There is a medium flood risk for the area, and the wider neighbourhood classification shows local deprivation and a remoter community profile, which may affect off-season demand. The freehold sale suits purchasers wanting immediate operational control and potential to enhance year-round yields with targeted refurbishment and energy upgrades.
