IT HAS been a tough year for companies up and down the country, including these Bournemouth businesses.

With the coronavirus pandemic throwing businesses into turmoil it's no surprise that so many doors are being sadly shut for good. 

However this leaves the way for new and emerging companies to get onto our highstreets - with the hopes of injecting a new lease of life into otherwise empty properties. 

Here are some businesses in and around Bournemouth on the market right now: 

Tyrrells Ford Country Inn, Avon, Christchurch 

£2,750,000

Bournemouth Echo:

If you're a small hotelier or you've got big plans to run your dream hotel then look no further. 

This 14-bedroom hotel in Christchurch was originally built in the 18th century and was converted into a hotel in the 1970s. 

The current owners have succesfully operated the business for 13 years and are deservedly now looking to retire from it. 

Beautifully presented throughout the thriving business has a licensed bar, lounge and restaurant that can seat 150 guests.

There is also an owners flat with an ensuite and sitting room. 

Attracting both Dorset residents and visitors from far and wide, this hotel could be a fantastic investment especially with the projected increase in Brits travelling in the UK after lockdown.
