Property Description

Set in the heart of the historic village of Lydd, the George Hotel dominates the centre of the town. It is next door to the town hall and adjacent to the old and largest church on Romney Marsh. The pub is traditionally decorated and boasts two bars, a 24-cover restaurant and nine letting rooms. Stonegate Pub Partners are considering significant development works to convert the existing nine letting rooms to eight en-suite double rooms. Other development works may include new external decorations, lighting and signage as well as improvement to the internal decorations including the customer toilets. We are therefore seeking to recruit an experienced hotel operator who is able to demonstrate a strong business plan to deliver such an investment proposal, subject to approvals.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation is very comfortable and comprises of two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, a lounge and kitchen area.

In contrast, the second bar is modern with a stainless steel bar and games including darts and pool. The restaurant dining room can seat 24 customers and currently offers quality pub fayre. The hotel boasts has one family room with en-suite bathroom plus 8 further double rooms all with separate toilet and bathroom facilities on the same first floor. The reception area and separate dining room is used exclusively for guests. The large fully equipped kitchen is well positioned to support the extensive menu in this fantastic hotel and pub business.

Outdoor trading area

The pub features a rear patio area with seating for 20 patrons as well as a covered smoking solution with electric heating. There is also a beer garden which proves popular in the summer, especially with families. The tarmac car park to the rear of the property has 12 spaces and allows for passing trade.

Regional Manager Comments

There has been significant investment into the letting rooms, restaurant and kitchen in recent years making now an ideal time to take on this established pub and hotel business. There is great scope for growth in the letting side of the business and the established food and drink trade could benefit from enhancement through advertising and marketing. We are seeking an experienced operator with catering or hotel knowledge to develop the George Hotel.
