Yahoo News Gothic style bed and breakfast in rural Conwy up for sale
A bed and breakfast in a Gothic style listed building has been put up for sale. The Ffarm is a well-established boutique bed and breakfast in a Betws-yn-Rhos property that dates back to 1706.
It is being offered for sale as a "strong going concern" with a solid trading performance and excellent guest reviews. There are nine guest bedrooms within the main building, plus an additional self-catering flat with its own separate access to the rear of the hotel, and owner's accommodation.
The premises are licenced and provide evening meals for guests, there is ample scope to expand the restaurant to non-residents also. Agent Christie and Co said there is huge potential to split the building and use the east wing as a substantial family home with the west wing serving as B&B accommodation.

Christie and Co said: "Ffarm Country House really is a unique prospect. From the moment one enters the sweeping driveway to the Ffarm and approach this magnificent manor house you are presented with the unique architectural ambience and rural tranquillity of the Ffarm.
"The current owners say that it all puts the smile on the faces of the guests as they arrive, but the second WOW comes in the hall - they say guests arrive happy and leave as friends.
"The business currently trades 12 months a year on a lifestyle basis, with opportunity for revenue to be increased through higher occupancy and further focus on the food and beverage offerings.
"The current owners limit occupancy to seven out of nine hotel rooms so they can maintain their desired lifestyle choice. This offers scope for a new owner to run the Ffarm more intensively if desired."
On the property, they added: "Embracing its Gothic roots, this stunning boutique mansion house retains an abundance of original features; you’re greeted in the grand hall by the imposing original staircase, with marvellous reception room, spacious dining room and multi-use snooker room branching off.
"The snooker room has a three-quarter size table that may be used for snooker or pool. However, it also has a three-section table-top that can be added in minutes to turn it into a 12-seater conference table for meetings, or a 12-seater dining table for guest functions.
"The snooker room also has separate access to the owner’s accommodation and can be easily closed off to guests to allow it to be used for the dedicated use of the owner’s for their own entertainment of family or friends - either on an occasional or permanent basis."
They added: "There is substantial off-road private car park suitable for 20+ vehicles plus a delightful lawned area and patio to the east side of the building. The Ffarm is well screened from the village by substantial mature trees (all of which are subject to TPOs) and which create a serene feeling of peace and quiet whilst being in the centre of the village itself. Depending on the Purchaser's requirements two separate additional plots may be purchased (subject to negotiation) to increase the overall site to approximately two acres and increase the rural charm, and tranquillity of the Ffarm. These two additional plots may particularly appeal to someone wishing to make the Ffarm more of a home than a business."
The property is on the market for offers over £950,000.
