Summary - THE OLD RECTORY BOWNESS ON SOLWAY WIGTON CA7 5AF
1 bed 1 bath Guest House
Established rural B&B with glamping expansion potential near Hadrian’s Wall.
Six ensuite letting rooms plus owners’ accommodation and potential seventh room
A substantial former vicarage on the Solway Coast, this six-bedroom guest house combines period character with proven income. Spacious public rooms, a well-equipped commercial kitchen and owners’ accommodation make it a turnkey lifestyle business with scope to increase turnover. The property sits in just over 1 acre of landscaped gardens with extensive parking and room for guest facilities.
The business currently trades around eight months of the year and has an established reputation with strong reviews. There is clear upside: add a seventh letting room, extend trading to twelve months, and/or acquire the adjacent glamping and campsite (available by separate negotiation) to broaden revenues. The glamping site already has five pods with hot tubs and provision for two further pods, plus a licensed field for seasonal tent pitches.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so running costs and retrofit work should be factored in. The main house has double glazing fitted post-2002 and an Energy Rating C. The glamping/campsite is a separate purchase and will require its own negotiations and any planning consents for expansion.
This offering suits a buyer seeking an established, manageable tourism business in a nationally known location — close to Hadrian’s Wall, the Lake District and the Scottish Borders — with immediately usable accommodation and tangible development potential.
