THREE HOTELS IN BUDE, CORNWALL: HEBASCA, TOMMY JACKS AND AN MOR 70 LETTING BEDROOMS, ALL REFURBISHED SINCE 2012
SUMMARY 3 REFURBISHED HOTELS IN STUNNING NORTH CORNWALL 70 BEDROOMS IN TOTAL, FULL OF FUN AND STYLE GOOD MIX OF LEISURE AND COMMERCIAL BUSINESS ONLY MINUTES FROM THE BEACHES TRADING ALL YEAR ROUND Price: 4.75m - Freehold Hebasca, Tommy Jacks and An Mor are an interesting package. 70 letting bedrooms across the three hotels, each capturing a different area of the market - from trendy and slick to laid back and fun. While three separate hotels, there is obvious scope for joined up management both behind the scenes and for marketing, cross-selling and staffing. All three hotels are a short walk to the town centre, beach and golf course - all popular areas in this beautiful coastal town. Design has been at the forefront of the refurbishment of all the hotels, each has it s own character: Hebasca is intelligent but with a sense of humour. Fully refurbished in 2013, Hebasca features 23 very luxurious and well appointed bedrooms. With a bold cocktail bar and a laid-back restaurant it is playful yet elegant. The restaurant and bar are comfortable but not stuffy, it s the way hotels should be whether as a leisure guest or staying on business, but looking for the highest standards. An Mor is just plain fun. Perfectly named after the Cornish term for the Sea, it is perched on the hill boasting stunning views of the harbour, canal and Atlantic ocean. Unashamedly British with images of Winston Churchill, a psychedelic stag and bowler hat light fittings. Inside there are multiple areas that are fully licensed for wedding and civil ceremony's and there is a very large function room fitted with all the latest technology. What was once the outdoor pool has been turned into an outdoor bar and party venue. A gazebo sits high on the lawns with stunning views of the bay and is a fabulous place to get married. In fact, this outside location is one of the only places licensed for such in a considerable radius. The rooms are mid-market, very comfortable and the hotel has plenty of parking. An Mor was named as an 'up and coming' Hotel to watch by the Sunday Times prior to its opening in Spring 2015.
Tommy Jacks: The Times Top UK Budget Hotel 2014 and 2015 is all about the beach. It s relaxed, low-key and being only a stone's throw away from the beach - it is in a great location. The hotel has 20 bright and comfortable rooms and a family-friendly restaurant which is beach-inspired with surf and skate boards, funky colours and fish tanks. Sophisticated pizzas are on the menu, along with burritos and burgers. The big terrace is perfect for a beer in the setting sun and it s a short walk to the beach huts, the sand and surf. Bude sits on the rugged North Cornish coast where a safe haven was created from an inlet and a canal was built to carry the mineral rich sand inland to fertilise the county s fields. Today the beaches of Summerleaze and Crooklets, along with the famous Sea Pool in-between, are the draw for many thousands of tourists each year.
