LOCATION & DESCRIPTION
The Danesfort Hotel is situated in a slightly elevated position in a cul-de-sac on the north side of Swanage only a short walk from the main beach and about 1/2 mile from Swanage town centre. There are some views to the Purbeck Hills and from the top floor some views to the sea and foreshore.

The property was built in the early 20th century with local Purbeck Stone front elevation the remainder in brick under a clay tiled roof. It has been chiefly modernised and retains many of the original features.

The owners advise us that they have been operating the hotel since 2004 and that a full on licence and 3 Star Visit Britain rating have been granted. The business caters for about 22 guests in the season but school parties are catered for out of season when numbers increase to approximately 26. Features include gas fired heating and mainly uPVC double glazed windows and it is offered fully furnished and equipped as a going concern. Turnover is approximately £72,000 p.a. and the owners keep it below the VAT threshold, so there is potential to increase significantly. Accounts are available to bona-fide purchasers professional advisors provided the applicants have first viewed the hotel.
