Colliford Tavern & Touring Site, Bodmin Moor
Written by Theresa Tyack Thursday, 15 July 2010 07:58
Colliford Tavern and Touring Site is located just off Cornwall's main corridor, the A30, on Bodmin Moor. The business, which stretches to circa 17 acres stands adjacent to the 900 acre reservoir known as Colliford Lake. The sylvan setting offers excellent opportunities for lakeside walks, enjoyment of a nature reserve and of course and fly fishing, subject to permits.
Whilst a construction has stood on this site for over 100 years, the business on offer was originally established around 15 years ago when there was a major building extension and refurbishment. It now trades as a mixed leisure operation with a freehouse providing a bar of 42.7 sq m giving covers for 20 diners, as well as a function room, and a further dining room with seating for another 40 covers. On the 1st floor are 6 excellent guest bedrooms enjoying a 4-Star Rating. Part of the building offers superb, owners' private 3-bedroom accommodation, whilst outside, parking is good with space for around 60 vehicles.
The other facet to this leisure business is the touring site which holds Planning Consent to open from Good Friday or April 1st through to the end of October. The site, which extends to 15 acres, is licensed for 40 tourers or tents, and includes 17 pitches with electric hook-ups. It is quite a setting for an overnight or even a week's stay as the morning mist rises off the lake.
The business has evolved down the years and is able to demonstrate improving turnover as regular touring caravans return to the site year on year. Recent trading accounts show sales of £145,000 net of VAT.
Offers are invited off a freehold guide price of £895,000 SAV.
Graham Timmins of our Licensed & Leisure Department comments, "Colliford Tavern & Touring Site is the ideal business for a family seeking to escape the sound and pressures of urban living. It is well worth an early viewing to see the business and setting at its best".
