The NatterJack Inn Evercreech
The Opportunity
The business has a solid year round established trade built with custom derived from a wide radius which include local regulars from the neighbouring towns and villages which has seen a significant amount of new housing ensuring a sustainable trade level during the winter months and future growth for new owners. The accommodation side of the business is consistent all year being well served from both the leisure and commercial sectors with accounts with local businesses. There is scope for the occupancy on the existing rooms to be higher as it stands at around 60% and should new owners wish to increase that side of the business you could look at adding more rooms.
The business is well situated to benefit from stop os and a meeting point to break the journey. In addition it is close enough to take advantage of the annual festivals/events at the Bath and West showground and Glastonbury. The Natterjack Evercreech represents an opportunity to inherit a successful, profitable business with an already established trade, yet with the scope to develop the site with more letting rooms and further increase its net profits
by becoming a hands-on operation.
