LUXURY SPA WITH SUBSTANTIAL PRIVATE RESIDENCE in Doncaster
Nestled in the picturesque village of Fishlake near Doncaster, Truffle Lodge is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving luxury spa business combined with a modern five-bedroom residential property. On the market for £1.3 million, this turnkey enterprise includes a fully operational wellness retreat with extensive facilities, a loyal clientele, and a beautifully maintained freehold property - all situated in a peaceful rural setting with excellent motorway access to the M18, M62, M1 and within a 20 minutes drive of the award winning "independent school of the year" Hill House School.
Truffle Lodge has operated successfully since 2015 and was developed by its current owner, who now plans to retire. The business has grown consistently over the past decade and is supported by a team of approximately 20 self-employed therapists, along with front-of-house and support staff. All necessary service contracts for pool maintenance, garden care and cleaning are already in place, ensuring a smooth transition for any incoming owner.
The spa itself offers a suite of high-end amenities, including a large heated indoor pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, outdoor hot tub, and a tranquil relaxation conservatory. Additional features include a full-size snooker table, shower / changing rooms, and a licensed bar offering a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The Lodge - a separate private space within the grounds - is available for exclusive hire and is perfect for small groups, bridal parties, and special events. There is also the potential to book the entire spa facility for larger groups, which enhances the offering for bespoke or corporate events.
A diverse treatment menu is at the heart of the business. Packages include the popular Twilight Spa evening experience, priced at £55 per person, as well as full-day packages at £105 per person, which include one or two treatments, a two course light lunch with a glass of fizz. All food is freshly prepared onsite and features high-quality dishes such as salmon, caramelised onion tart, and fresh fruit desserts. Treatment options range from massages and facials to manicures, pedicures, waxing, and hot stone therapies. The spa also provides optional upgrades and add-on treatments to increase per-head revenue.
The residential property included in the sale is a spacious and modern five-bedroom home situated on the grounds. Ideal for an owner-operator or live-in manager, the property has been well maintained and offers flexible accommodation.
The business is being sold as a going concern, with all business fixtures, furnishings, spa equipment, and digital infrastructure (including the website, booking engine, and client database) included in the sale. The current owner has committed to operating through to the end of 2025, allowing for an extended handover period to ensure continuity. Existing staff and systems are in place, making this a truly plug-and-play acquisition for the right buyer.
This opportunity suits an experienced spa operator, wellness entrepreneur, or lifestyle buyer looking to combine a profitable venture with a beautiful home. With immediate scope to expand the offering to include corporate wellness retreats, day packages for local businesses, and targeted marketing in nearby cities like Sheffield, Leeds, and York, there is significant potential to scale.
