Some opportunities are more than just a transaction; they’re about recognising the full potential of something already very special.

We’re currently working with the owners of a beautiful countryside hospitality estate in Gloucestershire, supporting them in repositioning the opportunity to reach a wider and more commercially aligned buyer audience.

This isn’t just a property.

It’s a fully operational, experience-led business.

A place where:

• families come together to celebrate
• couples create unforgettable wedding experiences
• guests reconnect, reset, and recharge

With:

✨ an established brand and excellent reputation
✨ consistent demand and forward bookings in place
✨ multiple income streams
✨ clear opportunities for future growth

What’s often overlooked with assets like this is the true value of the trading business alongside the property and that’s where a more targeted, strategic approach can make all the difference.

Importantly, estates of this nature lend themselves to wellness-led or therapeutic retreat models, where privacy, environment, and residential experience are key, opening up further potential for buyers operating in the wellbeing and recovery space.

If you’re a hospitality operator, investor, or exploring a lifestyle business with real potential, we’d be delighted to have a conversation.

📩 Feel free to get in touch confidentially.

🌿 A Sanctuary of Nature, Wellbeing, and Possibility 🌿

There are places that calm the mind the moment you arrive — and this extraordinary estate in the Malvern Hills is one of them.

Centred around a beautifully restored working mill and leat, The Clover Mill brings together heritage, wellbeing, and nature in perfect harmony.

Within the 11 acre grounds, you’ll find:

✨ A peaceful Mill Yoga Studio and open-air yoga platform surrounded by trees and birdsong
🌸 Ayurvedic treatment rooms, a steam room, and tranquil spaces for healing and relaxation
🐑 Alpacas grazing the meadows, a thriving vegetable garden that supplies the on-site chef with fresh, seasonal produce
🌊 A lake, natural biodiversity, and a serene walk leading to the weir, stream, and leat — alive with wild beauty
🏡 Five eco-lodges, a large lodge/annex, outbuildings, and parking for up to 30 cars

Already home to a network of highly skilled local therapists, yoga teachers, and Ayurvedic practitioners, the estate offers vast potential — from continuing its wellness and retreat legacy to exploring new directions such as glamping, wedding and events, or even a recovery and rehabilitation space.

This is more than a business opportunity — it’s a rare chance to own and nurture something truly unique. Enquiries are being welcomed once again following renewed availability.
