3 Overview The impression of quality at Number Four starts as you pull into the well-kept car park and see the carefully manicured lawns and gardens. Subject to a comprehensive refurbishment in 2010, the hotel was transformed into a beautifully presented 18 bedroom hotel with a smart two level lounge and an impressive 50 cover restaurant. An owner occupier will appreciate the excellent two bedroom cottage, although this could be used by staff or for self-catering accommodation always highly sought after in this honeypot area for visitors. Situated adjacent to the a A429 Fosse Way the Roman road that runs north/south through the Cotswolds Number Four has an enviable position. It affords easy access to the bustling towns of Stow on the Wold and also Bourton on the Water. The Cotswolds are a hugely popular tourist destination and this position makes it easy to reach the whole region with the other famous towns and villages within easy reach. Our clients bought the property when it was closed and transformed what had been a rather drab business into the smart concern found today. However, they never wanted to relocate from their home in the Thames Valley and after several years of commuting have decided that the daily journey has become too much and that Number Four should be sold. Their decision gives the opportunity for a locally based operator, or someone intending to move into the area, to acquire something rarely available, a recently refurbished business with a proven revenue stream.

4 The Property The original building is a two storey former public house built of stone beneath a pitched slate covered roof. This original property has been extended, possibly in the early 1980 s, to give the majority of the accommodation now on site. The extensions are also two storey, stone and slate. PUBLIC AREAS A most attractive entrance from the car park over the patio leads into Reception with Lounges on two levels, the Bar to the left and, to the right, the Restaurant, a stylish room that is normally set for 50 covers. On first floor is a Meeting Room for around 20 boardroom style, or 50 theatre style. Relatively lightly used, it offers obvious potential for more letting bedrooms. LETTING BEDROOMS 18 letting bedrooms to sleep 42 (13 double, 4 suites and 1 family room). All bedrooms are air conditioned and have en suite bathrooms. They have Wi-Fi and are equipped with flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities and hairdryer.
