ONE of Weston's most popular hotels has gone up for sale after being owned by the same family for decades.

The Richmond Hotel is now on the market with a price tag just shy of £1million at £900,000.

The cherished business has been in the family for 31 years, and last year raked in £276,630 (excl. VAT).

The detached property contains 15 en-suite guest bedrooms, a bar, restaurant/dining area, as well as an office, and eight-person lift to all floors.

It also boasts a full catering kitchen, adjacent prep room, equipped laundry facilities, a cellar, and staff and customer toilets.

A spokesperson for businessesforsale.com said: "A superbly positioned business with large customer terrace to the front taking full advantage of the extensive views on offer."

At the back of the building, there is a large garden complete with patio and rear access.

For the prospective new owners, there is also a well equipped flat.

The self contained accomodation to the rear of the hotel contains a large lounge, a kitchen, three double bedrooms (two en-suite), an office, and a bathroom complete with a toilet.
