BUSINESS
This business is successfully owner-operated by a husband-and-wife team, without the need for any staff whatsoever. Our clients do not open all year round and take time away from the business during the summer months. Operating smartly together with a self-catering apartment, this business has, over the years, provided our clients with a great income and lifestyle, but retirement now beckons the owners, which is why the property has reluctantly been placed on the open market. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
