Market Competition and Expansion:
The hotel has actively promoted its services, which has resulted in a balanced and consistent occupancy of circa sixty per cent. The business does have a website which is updated weekly with the latest offers and news of changes to the A La Carte Menu. It advertises through the local tourist boards and in a regional magazine which has a distribution of around one hundred thousand copies. At peak times of the year they carry out leaflet drops in residential and commercial areas to capture the Christmas and New Years Eve revelers and the rapidly expanding database is farmed for repeat business. Small coach parties, groups of walkers are all made welcome and the hotel has played host to over a hundred weddings is the last three years. This has been assisted by the presence of an ancient and attractive church within easy walking distance of the hotel. It has naturally also benefitted from the christening parties and funeral wakes that occur in the parish.
