It has been under the careful ownership of our clients since 1985 and is now only being offered to the market as they wish to retire. During our clients steward ship The Maycliffe has built up an excellent reputation for its good food and friendly service and enjoys an occupancy rate of approximately 80%. The Maycliffe which dates back as far as 1926 generates a turnover in the region of £220,000 and has seen an increase on last year.
