Company information

We took over this building in 2014 and spent 2 years on a massive renovation project into a Bistro and B&B. The Bistro and B&B were owned by different members of the same family and in late 2021 the owner of the successful Bistro decided to leave the hospitality industry. This opportunity allowed the change of direction to convert the business to a Holiday Let, offering this beautiful building for the private use for families and groups to holiday together.

Property information
