The holiday cottages are well-decorated, come fully equipped with full kitchen facilities and are well fitted out. They each will sleep four adults in two rooms (double bedroom and one twin bedroom), family bathroom, kitchen, open plan living/dining area and WC.
Adjacent the cottages there is a linen store and utility for management purposes.
In addition to the cottages, there are three detached holiday lodges. They are exceptionally well-lit and benefit from striking cedar cladding and decking areas. Each unit offers master bedroom with en-suite, large twin bedroom and third twin bedroom, family bathroom and kitchen/living space. Again, the lodges are well-decorated and come fully equipped.
Underfloor heating is provided to the units.

The Business
It is a family run business managed alongside family life. There is minimal external input save for limited contract cleaning and ad hoc requirements. There will be no staff contracts to hand over under TUPE.
The business is very well-established and has a 4.5 (out of 5) rating on Trip Advisor. Bookings are handled directly and through various platforms such as Booking.com with good visibility via Google searches and other platforms e.g. Trip Advisor, vrbo.com and social media pages.

The business has a typical turnover of £150,000 - £175,000 per annum.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
