A 23-bedroom freehold inn set in the heart of Borrowdale, Scafell Hotel offers a rare commercial opportunity in the Lake District National Park. The property’s traditional stone exterior, slate roof and garden sit against iconic fell views that reliably attract walkers and tourists year-round. Its location in a tranquil hamlet close to Derwent Water and many popular trails is the primary income driver.
The building is best suited to an operator or investor prepared to refurbish and modernise. The current layout includes just one bathroom for the whole premises, so upgrading guest facilities and increasing en-suite provision would materially boost lettings and room rates. The hotel’s historic character and detached site give scope for staged improvements, event use or repositioning toward higher-yield short breaks.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, so guests seeking strong connectivity may require on-site improvements. The property sits in an area with medium flooding risk — buyers should commission site-specific surveys and insurance quotations. As a freehold commercial building in an affluent rural area with good public transport links for visitors, it represents an attractive long-term income or lifestyle investment once modernisation is completed.
Nearby amenities include a Good-rated primary school, village facilities and regular tourist traffic, supporting both seasonal and year-round trading. This opportunity suits an investor or experienced operator who can capitalise on the location, bring facilities up to contemporary standards and manage the maintenance needs inherent in a period property.
