TEA ROOMS in the Hope Valley

Idyllic lifestyle business in the heart of this picture perfect village within the stunning Hope Valley, one of the best-loved parts of the Peak District National Park, offering some of the best views and most picturesque villages in the country.  This is a very busy tea-rooms business, long established, well-loved and with a historic track record of successful trading.  It stands prominent, in an enviable position to attract trade.  The popularity of the village as a tourist attraction guarantees a wealth of passing trade.  Couple this with the loyalty of local residents who love and regularly patronise the café and you truly have a business for all seasons.  If the pride of ownership of this idyllic lifestyle business doesn’t float your boat, then the profitability certainly should.  The business has increased its weekly turnover in 2018, to a staggering current average turnover.
