Hotel for sale

Belper, Derbyshire DE56

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality, eco-conscious log cabin holiday business, set within the stunning Derwent Valley, a unesco World Heritage site. The business offers a private, adults-only retreat, with four beautifully crafted Western Red Cedar log cabins designed for luxury, privacy and relaxation.

Each cabin is fully equipped with a private hot tub, sauna, log burner, copper or tin roll-top bath, four-poster bed, handcrafted staircase, rainforest shower and an internal bridge leading to a balcony with far-reaching views. Each also benefits from private parking within a cedar carport with mains electric. The business has built an excellent reputation, with consistent 5-star reviews and recognition as a finalist for ‘Europe’s Most Romantic Resort’ in 2022,2023 and 2024.

Established in 2020, the business attracts a strong flow of direct bookings, driven by its online presence and loyal customer base. A review of the last three years’ accounts shows a weighted adjusted net profit of approximately £160,000, with the business continuing to trade at high occupancy levels and often fully booked months in advance.

There is clear scope to grow. Planning permission has been granted for three additional cabins, and a fourth is now considered likely to gain approval following updated findings on nearby heritage constraints. There is also further upside through increased pricing, expanded marketing channels and development of the wedding offering.
