A rare freehold opportunity in central Southport, this Victorian boutique hotel offers an established trading platform and clear growth potential. The property includes 22 en-suite letting bedrooms, a self-contained two-bedroom cottage with private garage and driveway, and public areas that support weddings, events and daily dining — a proven turnover of over £400,000 (year end 2024).
Facilities include a fully equipped commercial kitchen with walk-in fridge and cooled cellars, a passenger lift to all floors, a south-west facing terrace with 60+ covers, conservatory seating and flexible event space for up to 100 guests. The hotel benefits from an Energy Rating C and a strong seasonal market with major upcoming local events likely to drive visitor numbers.
The sale is retirement-driven, making this suitable for an owner-operator or an investor seeking an income-producing asset with upside. Current trading is seasonal (open 11 months, closed in January) and operated with a small core team; further marketing, extended opening days and improved occupancy would increase revenues.
Notable practical points: there is no dedicated on-site guest parking (large church car park opposite, operated independently), the area records above-average crime and higher-than-average deprivation which may affect staff recruitment and operating costs, and some areas are currently configured as manager’s/spa rooms that offer conversion potential to additional en-suites. Buyers should review full trading accounts and titles (the cottage and garage are on separate titles but sold together).
