Property description
Successful bistro restaurant with 4-bed owners accommodation in the Exmoor harbour-side village of Lynmouth.
Le Bistro has traded successfully for a number of years. The present owners have built a good reputation using fresh local produce, particularly locally-caught fish and seafood. Now offered for sale as the owners have undertaken a bigger local business, this is an ideal opportunity to take-over an established lifestyle business in this delightful harbour-side village on the Exmoor National Park coast.

Very near the entrance to the main village car park, Le bistro is ideally located to attract passing trade as well as a loyal customer base built-up by the current owners.Lynmouth is a popular tourist destination on the coast of the Exmoor National Park. In peak summer season thousands of holiday-makers visit Lynmouth attracted by its picturesque stone harbour, shops and cafes - and the famous Victorian water-powered cliff railway. Throughout the year, the twin villages of Lynton & Lynmouth attract a steady stream of visitors who come to walk and enjoy the spectacular scenery of dramatic cliffs, hidden valleys and wild open moorland.
