The hotel was built in the late 1800's and was
originally an up market hotel for wealthy fishermen, stalkers
and travelers. It was previously called "The Profeits
Hotel" being built for the 2 nieces of Queen Victoria's
doctor - Doctor Profeit. Nowadays, with the demand for en-suite
accommodation, the rooms are smaller to accommodate bathrooms,
however, it is still a popular destination for fishers, stalkers
and tourists.
We bought the hotel in January 1998 from the
receivers, after the hotel had gone bankrupt. With a challenge
in front of us we set about restoring the hotel and the trade
and the first thing we had to do was change the name.
The hotel is now trading profitably and very
popular with locals and tourists for the food now being served.
The bedrooms are also busier and there is an ongoing plan
to upgrade existing rooms and develop new ones.
We recently won a local enterprise award for
business development for our efforts in resurrecting the hotel
from the ashes!!
