The Valdene Guest House is situated in a prime trading position within the bustling coastal town of Paignton, Devon. It occupies a sought-after area on Queens Road, only minutes away from the beach, harbour, town centre, rail and bus stations. The guest house is also conveniently located a short drive away from the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, with their M5 motorway and international airport. Additionally, Torquay is just minutes away and slightly further afield is Dartmoor National Park.
This highly successful business which has been successfully husband and wife owner-operated for many years and benefits from a high rate of repeat custom. It is well-liked by both visitors and locals alike and scores highly on ‘Trip Advisor’. The business currently trades for 10 months per year due to lifestyle choices, but we the agents believe there is great scope to improve upon the already impressive turnover and subsequent net profit. Actual trading figures will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
