The property benefits from a large external terrace to the front which provides c.180 covers. Due to the property’s prominent location attracts custom from the many visitors walking past on route to the beach and town centre.

Adjacent to the terrace is a small car with parking for 15 vehicles although, as there is a Pay & Display car park within 60 metres, this area could provide additional external parking to accommodate the busy summer periods.To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard, in the main used for deliveries

Our client has owned The Smiths Hotel since 1992 and has worked in the industry since 1984, has now made the decision to pursue other business interests. For many years the hotel has proved to be a huge success both from a customer’s perspective and from the year on year growth in revenue and profit.

Although a very established business, the dynamic has changed in recent years moving away from the traditional coach parties to attracting the private leisure market which now makes up over 50% of the current income.

The hotel trades from February through to December with income derived from the bar, restaurant and letting accommodation. The summer months prove extremely popular due to the prominent trading position and a large external terrace. Although and established and profitable business, there are still a number of areas to increase revenue, one of which is the growing number of function requests that our client turns away on a frequent basis.
