Located just a short stroll from the shores of Lake Windermere with shops, bars and restaurants in the village, Dene House is a boutique guest house in a spacious Victorian property. With seven comfortable en suite bedrooms and a welcoming breakfast room with large bay window overlooking the terrace, Dene House has a first-class reputation for the quality of its accommodation.
The property has planning permission to operate either as a guest house or a self-contained holiday let, allowing new owners the option to continue operating the business under the current guest house model or the option to run it as a managed holiday let business, marketed to attract large groups and gatherings.
A spacious two-bedroom owners’ accommodation with a private entrance is also included in the sale.
Dene House has been owned and operated by Mr Hai and Mrs Huong since 2018, who now wish to sell the business to retire. They commented, “We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Dene House and it has been our pleasure to welcome so many guests over the years. We have operated the business both as a guest house and also, for 12 months, as a self-contained holiday let business, and both options have worked very successfully. This flexibility offers a potential purchaser lots of options to operate the business in a way that suits them best.”
Graham Wilkinson, Hotel Agent at Christie & Co who is based in Windermere and managing the sale, added, “Dene House is a very attractive proposition for any potential purchaser. With a successful track record as both a guest house and a holiday let, this is a great opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a well-established hospitality business that can operate in either the serviced or self-catering accommodation sectors, located in one of the most commercial locations in the Lake District National Park.”
The hotel is being marketed by Christie & Co with a freehold asking price of £995,000.
