Large income and development opportunity in scenic riverside grounds.
Freehold Victorian hotel with extensive public and function spaces
A rare freehold hotel estate set in over 14 acres of grounds and woodland overlooking the River Nidd. The main Victorian-built hotel offers substantial public areas — reception, public bar, lounge bar, breakfast room, restaurant and flexible function spaces — alongside 16 en-suite letting bedrooms. A detached two-bedroom cottage and a separate two-storey annex with additional flats increase income or owner-occupier flexibility.
The property suits an operator or investor seeking a countryside hospitality business with scale. Facilities include car parking, outside seating, terraced spaces, a paddock and the shell of a former leisure club with changing rooms, small gym and swimming pool that will need reinstating or repurposing. The site’s character features high ceilings, stone elevations and mature landscaping that appeal to guests and events.
Material considerations are straightforward: this is a remoter-location asset that will require ongoing grounds maintenance across its substantial plot. The leisure facilities are currently disused and will need investment to return to revenue-generating use. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal; refurbishment and modernisation will likely be needed to meet current hospitality expectations.
For an investor or operator prepared to commit to upgrade and ongoing maintenance, the estate provides strong upside through accommodation, events, cottage and annex income streams, plus significant potential to reposition or diversify services in a popular Dales location.
