The Bank House is a quality, well presented café and restaurant trading on a predominantly daytime only basis. With an excellent reputation and following, not only from locals but also from the many visitors who visit this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty throughout the year, the business offers undoubted potential to incoming operators to extend the opening hours and develop the style of cuisine to suit their own individual requirements.

Being situated within a short level walk of a sandy blue flag beach and in an area designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the area is popular with tourists and visitors throughout the year but particularly during the busy summer months, and the business benefits from the many campsites, self-catering and guest houses in the village and within the surrounding area.
