The Property Penrallt is something rarely available to buy a substantial landholding with more than one business strand. This hotel and holiday/leisure complex sits in a substantial site, with sea views, and offers hotel, self-catering cottage and leisure facilities. The approach down a long straight tree lined drive creates a real sense of arrival and as the visitor reaches the hotel the beautiful vista of Aberporth Bay catches the eye. The hotel is a superb Edwardian house, elegantly proportioned and with lovely features. The self-catering cottages add another leg to the business, and are a sector showing growth as more people enjoy this form of short and long holiday. Leisure facilities and excellent staff and owners accommodation complete the package. This is a beautiful region and tourist attractions in the area include the nearby Blue Flag beaches in Aberporth, Oakwood theme park, a sea life centre and a butterfly park. The area is popular for walking, particularly on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, together with dolphin watching, cycling and surfing at nearby Cardigan. There is business occupancy to be had to as nearby is Parc Aberporth, a technology park created on the former Aberporth RAF station which is focused as an operational test and evaluation centre for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The property was acquired by the present owners in 2004. They have undertaken extensive works of improvement to the hotel accommodation, refurbishing all of the public areas and bedrooms and creating new letting bedrooms, both from former self-catering units within the hotel and from former outside self-catering units. Following the appointment of the joint administrators, the business closed for trade on 16th January. The opportunity exists to continue the work of the directors, extending it to the holiday cottages and creating an improved marketing platform to drive the business much more actively.
