The Business:

We are on the 1st page of Google.com/uk and Yahoo.com with relevant searches. The site regularly appears above the large well known holiday rental companies thus giving Les Touches great presence on the web, providing lots of traffic and potential customer enquiries.

We have a database of customers spanning over 7 years.

Numerous returning clients each year.

Possible development.

There is a great deal of potential for expansion of the business as we currently use only 3 of the 7 bedrooms for bed and breakfast purposes.

Increasing turnover to include the winter months, Christmas and New Year could also be considered.

Sitting in the grounds is a large detached barn with outline planning permission which could be converted into a
5 bedroomed or more Chambre d`hôte accommodation.This property and business has been priced realistically.

The Web site www.lestouches.info , fixtures and fittings and some furniture by negotiation.
