Colman’s of Aysgarth in Yorkshire Dales brought to market

Colman’s of Aysgarth, a boutique bed and breakfast, camping and caravan park in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, has been brought to market for an undisclosed amount. 

According to property adviser Christie and Co, the property presents a “unique opportunity to acquire a quality lifestyle business” in the heart of the Dales. 

The site is set on a 1.7-acre site within the Wensleydale idyll of Aysgarth, and provides modern guesthouse accommodation alongside a touring caravan park and campsite. 

In addition, the business is located within walking distance of the village, Aysgarth Falls, and numerous walking and cycling routes, making it an ideal base for tourism. 

The current owners, Matt and Clare Colman, have refurbished the site since acquiring it in 2016, transforming it into one of the highest rated hospitality and leisure businesses in the region, with a 9.9 Booking.com rating and a five-star rating on Tripadvisor. 

As a result, the business has been recognised with several awards, including ‘Best Certificated Site’, ‘Warmest Club Welcome and Family Friendly Site in 2019’ and ‘Warmest Club Welcome 2022’ by the Camping and Caravanning Club.

Matt Colman said: “We have built the dream lifestyle and welcomed so many wonderful guests over the last seven years, who have made Colman’s into a ‘must stay’ campsite and bed and breakfast. 

“We are excited to be able to give another family the opportunity to take Colman’s to the next level, building on our successes.”

David Lee, regional director of Northern hotels at Christie and Co, said: “We are delighted to offer this superb lifestyle business for sale in an idyllic part of North Yorkshire. Colman’s is immaculately presented throughout and offers real opportunity for growth and significant development of the operation, We encourage interested parties to get in touch.”
