The South West welcomes millions of visitors every year, and our leisure team handles the sale of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs throughout Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. From elegant Victorian townhouse hotels to country guest houses and coastal B&Bs, we cover every scale of hospitality business.
Jon Clyne leads our hospitality sales, with James covering the region alongside him, and Lyn Milligan focusing specifically on the Torbay market. Together they advise owners on valuation, trading potential and the right route to market, whether that’s a private sale or a wider marketing campaign to our buyer database.
Some hotel and guest house properties, particularly those needing refurbishment or with development potential, are also suited to sale by auction, run in partnership with BTG Eddisons, the UK’s second largest property auction house.
To discuss buying or selling a hotel, guest house or B&B, contact your local office and we’ll make sure the right specialist deals with your enquiry.

Common questions
What types of hospitality business does Charles Darrow sell?
We sell hotels, guest houses and B&Bs across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, ranging from small owner-run B&Bs to larger hotels with multiple bedrooms and function space. Each is valued individually based on trading performance, location and condition.
How is a hotel or guest house valued for sale?
Valuation considers trading turnover, occupancy levels, the condition of the building, location, the level of capital investment required, and current market sentiment. It’s never a one-size-fits-all calculation, so our team prepares a bespoke market appraisal for each property based on current trading accounts and comparable sales in the region.
Can a hotel or guest house be sold at auction?
Yes, some properties, particularly those needing refurbishment or with development potential, suit sale by auction. This is run in partnership with BTG Eddisons and can offer a faster, more certain sale than a private treaty.
Do I need hospitality experience to buy a guest house or B&B?
Many buyers are moving into the sector for the first time, often as a lifestyle change. Our team can talk through what running a particular property involves, including seasonal trading patterns and local visitor demand.
Which areas of the South West do you cover for hotel sales?
We cover Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset, with particular strength in established tourist destinations along the coast and in market towns throughout the region.
How do I sell my hotel, guest house or B&B through Charles Darrow?
Contact your local office for a confidential appraisal. We will advise on the right method of sale, prepare marketing materials, and introduce your business to our database of hospitality buyers.
