Summary - ALBERT COTTAGE COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL, YORK AVENUE PO32 6BD
1 bed 1 bath Hotel
Turnkey boutique hotel with major event potential and royal provenance.
Grade II listed former royal residence with notable historic features
A rare freehold opportunity: Albert Cottage is an impressive 10-bedroom boutique hotel with direct historical links to Queen Victoria’s Osborne Estate. Set in roughly 2.8 acres of secluded, mature grounds and extending to around 11,358–12,090 sqft, the property combines substantial event capacity with established catering facilities and a proven trading history.
The site includes a 90-cover main restaurant with large terrace, a 30–60-cover period restaurant/bar, extensive commercial kitchens, licensed wedding and events permissions, and an independently accessed two‑bed Indian Summer House used as a holiday let. The mature gardens, terraces and gazebo already host large outdoor functions and present scope for further ticketed events and hospitality income streams.
Important practical notes for investors: the building is Grade II listed and part lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; any alterations or expansion (additional rooms, spa or structural changes) will require listed building and planning consents. The property sits in an area recorded as very deprived which may affect local staffing, rates relief and customer mix. Ongoing restoration and conservation maintenance are required to retain character and trading quality, and running costs for a property of this size should be expected to be significant.
For an investor or operator aiming to elevate an established brand, the hotel offers clear upside: increased bedroom count, upgraded leisure facilities, and amplified events programming could materially increase turnover — subject to consents. The sale includes the business, fixtures and fittings, and the option of vacant possession, creating flexibility for an owner-operator or investor repositioning the asset.
