Hi Gary,
The figure we can m
pending a survey etc.
Can you give us an idea of what the cafe takes?
What does the house consists of room wise
Any chance of a room plan layout, up & down stairs.
Does Donna have a digital camera at all
We would hope to complete if we went ahead by end 2004
We would have to make another visit, purley to look
at the house
How long would you say the season last, any visitors in the winter months, do
you ever get cutt off?
Regards Annie

Dear
Annie and Barry – I have yet to discuss your email with Marie Dion but to
keep my conversation with my rather logical partner-wife brief and to the
point, tell me exactly what is your bottom line price for purchasing this one
of a kind business opportunity and how quickly can you complete the
transaction.
Yours truly,

PMS then they wouldn’t put up with any of the bullshit”

Dear Gary
Thanks for
contacting us regarding the Seacrest cafe.
Since my hubby Barry spoke to Donna, we
were eagerly awaiting this mail, but sadly it seems you are not yet planning a
sale, or at least one we could consider.( £400,000 out of the question).
We have talked about nothing else since the phone call. We feel quiet deflated
Barry and i have previously owned a similar catering
business and your place seemed the right size for the two of us to run, as bryan and donna have. I got the
impression they were wanting to go back to
Shame as we have two couples waiting to buy our home in southport.
We will have to look else where, as we want to make a change sooner rather than
later, we almost had
the car packed to come down and have another look, barry
had taken exterior pictures on his phone last time we were in lynmouth.
If your situation changes, or you need a couple to
maybe run it for a season by all means contact us.
We could rent our flat out for the same time,we would
like to make a change realisticly after christmas.
Regards Annie & Barry
On Thu,
Bryan
Taylor the operator of our Ccrest=Seacrest Café in
Since
Bryan spoke with you my wife and I after further consultation with Bryan have
decided that given the incredible success Bryan and his sister Danna have had
during this past summer and considering the investment of our time and money
since acquiring Ccrest in December 2001 it would make more sense given the
current trend especially when compared to the previous years to see what this
brother-sister team could do in their second season unless someone were to come
in with a “crazy” offer of sum 400,000 pounds which to
“sum” [sic] may be very reasonable considering this is the location
of locations, the road from London ending at our doorstep before entering one
of the most enchanted forests on planet earth, to mention little of time and
again how idiotic can one really be in this “dog eat god” [sic]
world to compare Ccrest to anything, i.e. nothing comparable, a gree?
Both
Bryan and Danna have indicated they would be interested in staying on should a
buyer wish to keep this terrific team but at the same time all of us could
understand if someone thought it would suite them better to live and operate
the Bed and Breakfast Café as had been the case with the previous owners.
Please
let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Gary
