Unique boutique hotel and spa up for sale in Lake District

Leading hotel and licensed property specialists Colliers International are offering for sale the uniquely themed Aphrodites Boutique Hotel with spa and pool in Bowness-on-Windermere, one of the most sought after areas in the Lake District. The hotel was featured in Channel 4’s “Four in a bed” programme on Tuesday, 17 April 2012.

The property is located in a superb secluded area at the top of Longtail Hill, on the fringe of the picturesque village of Bowness.

With its classic and romantically themed accommodation, the hotel includes 17 bedrooms of outstanding quality. Some bedrooms feature four poster beds, hot tubs, spa baths and open log fires, including rooms with themes ranging from James Bond and Cleopatra to Tarzan and Jane and Robin Hood.

Following a £1 million refurbishment, the hotel also features a superb spa and treatment centre and a heated pool, all complimented by a spacious car park.

As an integral part of the business, a state of the art website - www.aphroditeslodge.co.uk - has been created by the current owners to generate a substantial level of bookings and turnover which the hotel has readily achieved on an annual basis.

Having enjoyed their ownership of Aphrodites, the owners are now offering the business for sale with the benefit of a new lease, allowing the new buyer to enjoy this very profitable business at a realistic cost.

Haydn Spedding, a Director at Colliers International, said: “This is a beautiful and highly individual property as well as a very successful business. With its superb location, high quality unique accommodation and excellent marketing , the hotel has an outstanding level of both takings and profitability rarely seen at this level even in the Lake District.”

Haydn added: “It’s not often that a property of this calibre becomes available, offering a fantastic business opportunity for such a reasonable price.”

Colliers International are inviting offers of around £395,000 for the Aphrodites Boutique Hotel.
