Welcome to BAIE MOOAR HOUSE, a stunning, established boutique bed & breakfast offering a lucrative investment and huge potential.
Substantially restored, refurbished and meticulously maintained throughout by the present owners, they have created a unique boutique style B&B offering luxury accommodation with a bar and 30 seat restaurant.
The owners have made a name for themselves with their popular Supper Club and excellent customer service. Baie Mooar has consistent high rating scores on TripAdvisor and Booking.com as well as an excellent reputation locally and a loyal social media following.
The owners have worked extremely hard to develop the Baie Mooar brand, establishing a successful business with many repeat customers. The business is offered as a going concern including all marketing and forward bookings.
The property itself has seven bright, spacious & contemporary bedrooms, all ensuite, comprising 3 luxury suites, 3 king ensuites and one twin ensuite. Additional facilities include a wellness infrared sauna, enclosed garden with decking and private BBQ area for entertainment and private functions.
Walking up to the main door it is clear to see why the Baie Mooar is such a successful entity, sitting in a real gem of a situation, surrounded in Victorian splendour harking back to a bygone era. It is centrally located, within walking distance of the Royal Ramsey, in a prominent elevated position overlooking magnificent and capacious coastal views over Ramsey Bay. The panoramic views encompass the town, Mooragh Park, plus the surrounding rolling hills and mountains to the rear and side.
The gardens are delightfully sunny for the majority of the day, which is a real plus point for which guests can relax in and enjoy the peaceful setting.
Exterior features include large bay windows, attractive corbels and moulding. Notable internal period features include decorative fireplaces, cornicing ceiling roses, timber panelling, architraves, large windows, chandeliers and picture rails.
A key characteristic of the house is how it flows, particularly the ground floor with an open plan restaurant and reception area creating a genuine ambiance of a sophisticated establishment. The extent and flexibility of the internal accommodation offers ability to host up to 30 seated resident and non-resident guests within the formal restaurant.
While the accommodation has been extended and adapted since its original construction, many notable period features, both internally and externally, have been sympathetically retained.
