12 High Street, Blackpool, FY1 2BL

Pride Lodge is now operated on a VERY limited basis with great scope for any new owner to easily realise the full potential available to expand as required. Currently only open on a summertime, seasonal basis to suit owners who are now partially retired after many successful decades in the hospitality industry. Having only 5 rooms it would be quite easy to achieve full occupancy for the most part of the Spring and Summer if required with the added option of additional Winter trading.

At current tariffs the property achieves a maximum of £470 per night, as and when open. (at full REV.PA.R.) without any additional food and drink sales. If new owners chose to include the 6th room (currently as a sauna suite) this would then rise to a potential of £570 per night.

The current owners have no need to advertise or pay agencies for their current level of business and are VERY selective of the guests they choose to accommodate. The property is recognised by Trip Advisor (and has been for several years) as being within the TOP 10% Worldwide for having the BEST guest reviews. In fact, this can be seen as it has almost 800 reliable, genuine, top rated reviews to it's name! Established in 2007 and enjoying a very respected reputation as one of the key providers of accommodation for the LGBTQ+ community, as it's core market.

Operating now on a 'room only' basis with a simple, in room cold option breakfast. New owners could easily operate the business 'as is' without the need to employ staff. At a higher than average tariff, Pride Lodge is able to produce much better gross and net profit %'s. than many of it's counterparts. In the correct hands, the business could provide an excellent opportunity to continue and carry this forward.

Spacious private accommodation at the property covers the entire ground floor, which is very unusual for this type of local business, including gardens and garage parking, situated in the centre of town, adjacent the train station, new developments and regeneration quarter. The property also offers a unique 'green' wide and prominent outlook, being in an enviable, end, corner position with open aspects toward the station grounds and not being overlooked from the front elevation in any way.

A perfect opportunity as a 'home with an income' maintained to an excellent standard throughout, easily carried forward with little or no material or operational changes required.
