Description

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire two charming historic cottages and a well-established holiday and caravan park business.

In all extending to 2 acres

An exciting opportunity to acquire a well-established holiday and caravan park with 30 pitches, together with a three-bedroom period cottage, one-bedroom boathouse and four luxury lodges with hot tubs. The business generates a consistent and dependable income, including significant forward income from an advanced bookings stream, together with additional scope to develop and increase revenue.
The property occupies a unique and enviable canalside position, just a short scenic stroll from the centre of Llangollen. It is the closest holiday and caravan park to the town centre and situated adjacent to the Pavillion, this benefits enormously from events and festivals, including the world famous Eisteddfod in July each year and the music festival (boasting world renowned artists), each June and July.

Location
Llangollen is a highly sought-after destination, popular with both residents and tourists. The town offers excellent connectivity to Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry, and Shrewsbury, with nearby rail links at Ruabon and Chirk.

Its popularity with visitors enhances the area’s lifestyle appeal and offers excellent potential for tourism-related income.

Upstairs, a spacious landing with views over the canal leads to a modern family bathroom and three well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite.

Each lodge provides a double bed, en-suite shower room with WC, and heating.
