Summary - Staghunters Cottage, Brendon, LYNTON EX35 6PS
1 bed 1 bath Hotel
Substantial freehold estate with riverside gardens and development potential.
16th-century character hotel with 14 letting bedrooms
A rare freehold opportunity: a substantial, characterful 16th-century country hotel set within approximately 4 acres on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The property comprises 14 well-appointed letting bedrooms, a spacious three-bedroom owner’s apartment and multiple communal rooms including a bar, snug and converted chapel, giving immediate trading capacity and flexible event space.
The site includes two car parks, extensive landscaped riverside gardens and a private river terrace, plus a barn/workshop and ancillary storage. Environmentally minded systems are already installed – a biomass boiler, private water supply and a solar energy array – which help reduce running costs and support sustainable visitor appeal. Current trading shows a robust turnover and profits as a lifestyle hospitality business.
There is clear upside for a buyer prepared to invest: scope across the 4-acre plot for camping, lodges or outdoor-pursuits facilities (subject to consents), and further revenue from events and dining for residents and non-residents. The large internal footprint (around 14,170 sq ft) allows operational reconfiguration or expansion of guest accommodation and leisure uses.
Important considerations: the property lies in a high flood-risk area with a private water supply, no mobile signal and very slow broadband — operational limitations for modern bookings and remote work needs. Parts of the estate will require ongoing maintenance typical of an historic building, and any change of use or development will need appropriate planning permissions within a national park setting.
