The traditional and charming tea room serves a good variety of breakfasts, lunches, hot and cold sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, cakes, pastries, cream teas and scones. The afternoon teas are a speciality which have been particularly well received. All items are fresh and home-made. The business has attracted excellent comments on social media, with 5 star reviews on Trip Advisor and Facebook. The adjacent quaint Emporium specialises in the sale of vintage dresses, hats, clothing, furniture, jewellery, handcrafted gifts and bric a brac. It has permitted general retail use. The businesses were started and newly furnished/decorated by our clients 2 years ago. Our clients are now reluctantly selling for family reasons. Both businesses have a good reputation and a loyal customer base which is supplemented by the high volumes of tourist trade throughout the year. Although now established, the businesses could grow further with increased drive and enthusiasm, advertising and marketing. The businesses are ideal for a buyer looking for a lifestyle change.
