BUSINESS
Tremaine Green Cottages have been in the same ownership since 2000 and the current owners have built up an established and profitable business within this popular tourist area in South East Cornwall. The property is near to the coastline and the popular tourist destinations of Polperro, Fowey and Looe which make it an ideal location to explore the area.

The road communications to the property are good and from the M5 motorway is dual carriageway via the A38 to Plymouth and pass over the Tamar Bridge into Cornwall, continuing on the A38 which is mainly dual carriageway and then follow the A390 and the B3359 to the property.

The gross turnover for the business in the 2020 season was £144,609 from the 12 holiday letting cottages with repeat business of 43%. The business is promoted via their website: along with agents VRBO and Sykes Cottages. They also advertise in various magazines such as Your Dog and Dogs Today along with BBC Gardener’s World, RHS The Garden and BBC Coast and Country Living. The owners also use Facebook with potential to grow the social media presence.

The business is open all-year round but usually closes in January. The cottages are rated by AA as 3*.

There is potential to convert some of the outbuildings into additional holiday letting cottages or to use the paddocks for glamping, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. The gardens and grounds are large enough to host a marquee for weddings.

The property does not have an indoor swimming pool complex at this stage but a spa facility could be built or hot tubs added to the cottages to extend the shoulder seasons.

Trading information is available to bona fide purchasers.
