Summary - Oak Cottage, Laning, Dent, CUMBRIA LA10 5QJ
4 bed 1 bath Cafe
Profitable cafe plus self-catering income in a picturesque national park village.
Freehold café with three-bedroom owners' accommodation on site
Meadowside Café-Bar is a long-established, profitable freehold business in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, trading for over 40 years. The sale includes a busy café with indoor seating for 34 and 18 outside covers, a one-bedroom self-catering letting unit (with hot tub) and separate three-bedroom owners’ accommodation on site. Accounts to 31 May 2024 show annual turnover £105,729 and gross profit £61,810.
The cafe benefits from excellent online reviews (Tripadvisor 4.7, Google 4.8), strong year-round bookings for the letting unit and a loyal mix of locals and visitors. The village location, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support both visitor trade and online marketing; the property sits within an affluent, low-crime, rural community popular with tourists.
Key positives include multiple income streams (café plus rentable chalet), established trade and immediate takeover potential. Practical realities: the site and internal floorspace are small with a narrow frontage and no obvious private rear garden; the operation suits a small hospitality business or owner-operator rather than a large-scale expansion. Any change of use or conversion will require local planning consents within the National Park.
This opportunity will suit an investor or buyer seeking a lifestyle acquisition with steady trading figures and accommodation income, or an operator able to maintain and modestly grow a well-regarded village café in a high-appeal tourist location. Price reflects freehold sale in a protected rural setting with limited scope for major extension.
