Location
The Rathgowry occupies one of Falmouth’s most coveted locations for guest accommodation in the thriving harbour and University town of Falmouth. The location affords guests the opportunity to stay on a quiet road, within walking distance of several beaches, Falmouth town and its harbour. Falmouth has seen significant regeneration and interest in recent years, with the expansion of Falmouth University and has a wide range of national and niche retailers, making this a very desirable town in which both to live, work and indeed stay.
Falmouth has a number of festivals throughout the year and University Open Days, which means that Falmouth is very much an all year round holiday destination. Within the Falmouth and Penryn conurbation there are various primary education establishments and two secondary schools.
The Property/business
The Rathgowry is a substantial well presented 3 storey property which has been extended over the years to provide generous letting rooms and owners accommodation. During our clients tenure, which commenced in July 2013, there has been a significant programme of updating and investment in the property, totalling in excess of £100,000 and therefore The Rathgowry is presented, in our opinion, in exceptional order.
Our clients choose to trade between the period Easter through to the end of September, which affords them a comfortable lifestyle income (further accounting information will be made available subject to a viewing appointment) and we are advised The Rathgowry currently holds a AA 4* Award and is consistently voted in the top 10 guest houses in Falmouth by Trip Advisor.
The business is run by our clients, with some part-time assistance in the peak season. For further information regarding this exceptional coastal guest house and sizable owners accommodation and indeed to learn more about our clients business please see their website www.rathgowry.co.uk
