The Business
Basecamp Wales is a family run hostel that offers comfortable, affordable accommodation in a stunning countryside setting. It attracts visitors from far and wide due to its ideal position as a base for exploring North Wales's main attractions. The business is currently operating a trading pattern for individuals and groups of no more than 6, with prices ranging from £20 to £40 per night. Our clients operate the hostel as a lifestyle business, currently trading for 6-7 months per year. That said, our clients currently offer a capacity of 40 guests however there is scope for this capacity to be increased to 90, there is huge scope for any purchaser to develop the business further by operating all year round, marketing the property extensively on multiple platforms and on the Welsh/Snowdonia tourist sites, and making the business available for group and school bookings. Utlising the extensive land, camping and glamping could be introduced to increase business with a Certificate of Lawfulness & Section 269 Agreements held, a member of the Freedom Camping Club Site for 5 moveable structures and 4 hook-ups available for touring caravans. Furthermore, we are of the opinion that the cottage and barn would generate high levels of interest on the short term holiday market. Full trade accounts will be made available to prospective purchasers following any viewing.
