Hotel/guest house for sale in Belper, Derbyshire DE56

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, eco-conscious log cabin holiday business, located in the stunning Derwent Valley, a unesco World Heritage site. The business offers a private, romantic escape exclusively for adults, featuring four beautifully crafted log cabins made from Western Red Cedar. Each cabin is designed to provide a luxurious experience, making it a popular destination for couples seeking tranquillity and romance.

Each log cabin is equipped with a private hot tub, sauna, log burner, copper or tin roll-top bath, four-poster bed, handcrafted log and spindle staircase, rainforest shower, and an internal bridge leading to an upstairs balcony with breathtaking views. Each cabin has its own private parking space within a handcrafted cedar carport with mains electric. The business has gained an excellent reputation for quality and service, achieving consistent 5-star ratings across all major platforms and was shortlisted for ‘Europe’s Most Romantic Resort’ in the World Travel Awards in 2022,2023, and 2024.

Established in 2020, the business attracts eco-conscious travellers seeking a unique blend of luxury and sustainability. Despite one cabin being closed for two weeks and a weekend blocked off for a professional wedding photo shoot, the business still delivered impressive financial results. After adjusting for internal rent, non-recurring marketing and maintenance, and accounting allowances, the adjusted net profit stands at around £185,000. Planning permission has already been granted for three additional cabins, and a fourth cabin – previously withdrawn from plans due to heritage concerns – is now considered highly likely to gain approval following confirmation that nearby remnants are from a non-significant cow shed. This presents a significant opportunity for expansion and further income growth.

• Profitable, turnkey luxury log cabin business in a prime location
  
• Strong social media presence driving 95% direct bookings
  
• Planning permission secured for three additional cabins
  
• Fourth additional cabin likely to gain approval following survey
