New owners sought for central Dartmouth boutque hotel & wine bar


Browns Hotel, an independent boutque hotel and wine bar in the centre of Dartmouth, has come to market via Christie & Co.

Ideally positioned a short walk from the marina and waterfront, Browns Hotel is set in a superbly presented Georgian-era property which has benefitted from extensive improvements in recent years, giving the property a smart, contemporary feel.

The hotel has built up an excellent reputation under the ownership of Mike and Susan Bishop, which is reflected in its online reviews. The property features nine en suite letting rooms and a popular Bistro & Bar, which attracts bookings from locals, holiday makers and hotel residents alike.

Although this is a already a highly successful and profitable business, several opportunities exist for a new owner to develop the hotel even further and increase trade significantly.

Dartmouth is a beautiful town steeped in history, and has long been a popular year-round destination for day visits, short breaks and holidays. It has also become known as a 'foodie' location due to the number of quality restaurants in the area, making the Browns Hotel an ideal regional hotel business opportunity.

Stephen Champion, Director in Christie & Co’s South West Hotel team, who is handling the sale, said, “Browns represents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to take over a successful ‘turn-key’ operation with a quality team of staff in place.

'Given the highly desirable nature of Dartmouth and successful track record of Browns, we would expect significant interest in this rare opportunity.”
