The Horn of Plenty is a well-established, freehold 4-star country house hotel set in four acres overlooking the Tamar Valley AONB. The property combines a beautifully presented Victorian/Georgian manor with a 2014 stone coach house, delivering 16 ensuite guest rooms, a three AA Rosette restaurant and licensed wedding facilities for up to 90 day guests.
Trading with an experienced management team in place, the business shows strong turnover (FY to May 2025: £1.116m; current year budgeted uplift to c. £1.397m). Fixtures, fittings and trade equipment are included, and the site benefits from ample parking for c. 40 vehicles, a commercial kitchen, cellar and a private spring water bottling facility.
There is clear upside for a new owner. A first-floor library could be converted to an ensuite letting room with minor works, and the underused four-acre grounds offer potential for glamping pods, lodges or converting stone garden sheds (subject to planning). The hotel’s location close to Dartmoor and the Tamar Valley appeals to weddings, leisure and gastronomic tourism.
Notable practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow and may limit some modern guest expectations or office operations. Some garden-structure conversions will need planning consent. A small number of artworks are excluded from the sale. The property has an EPC rating of C and a rateable value of £93,000 (business rates payable will vary).
