A newly renovated three-storey Victorian guest house in a short walk of Blackpool’s main attractions, presented as a ready-to-run seasonal bed & breakfast. The property comprises eight letting rooms (described as en-suite in the property details), a ground-floor breakfast room for 18 covers with bar servery, private owner accommodation and forecourt parking for two cars. Vendors report strong repeat custom, high review scores (5-star TripAdvisor; 9.4 on Booking.com) and seasonal turnover quoted around £50,000–£55,000 at medium occupancy.
This freehold building offers immediate trading potential for an investor or operator wanting a small, well-located seaside guest house. The interiors are recently refurbished with gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted commercial-style breakfast kitchen; basement and rear yard provide useful storage and service access. The southerly Hornby Road location places the property within a 15-minute walk of Blackpool Tower, Winter Gardens and the promenade, supporting high tourist footfall.
Important practical considerations are plain: the wider area is classed as very deprived with very high local crime levels, and the business is seasonal, so income fluctuates across the year. The plot is small with limited forecourt parking (two cars) and the immediate neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student/migrant family area. Additionally, the supplied listing contains an internal inconsistency on bathroom numbers (header shows 1 bathroom while main details state en-suite bedrooms) — this should be clarified before purchase.
For an investor seeking a turn-key small hotel with strong online reputation and repeat clientele, this property offers clear scope to maintain or grow income through increased occupancy, extended seasons, or marketing upgrades. Buyers should factor area security, seasonal trading patterns and the small plot when assessing operating projections and financing.
