THE COSMOPOLITAN - Bringing the Paignton B & B into the 21st Century.


The Cosmopolitan vision


Since we embarked on the journey that eventually led to the creation of "
The Paignton Cosmopolitan" brand we have covered a lot of mileage, visited many B & B's and studied the serviced accommodation market across the UK's seaside resorts in some detail.

And our conclusion is that there is an opportunity for a branded chain of Bed & Breakfasts/Guest Houses in the UK's major seaside resorts. 

The modern travelling public, whether they are travelling for business or pleasure, appreciate the uniformity of a brand's offering and the high standards of presentation and service that follow as a brand is developed.

So we're taking our experience and expertise in licencing, customer service and rental and combining them to offer like-minded individuals or companies the opportunity to replicate our offering here in Paignton in other areas through a licencing contract, so that customers can enjoy The Cosmopolitan experience at, for example, "The Scarborough Cosmopolitan", or "The Llandudno Cosmopolitan". 

Scroll down for a full list of our initial target areas.


What do we offer with a Cosmopolitan licence?

We, Active Leisure Rentals Limited, seek licensees who are prepared to purchase and develop a Bed & Breakfast/Guest House/Small Hotel and re-brand and re-style it to The Cosmopolitan specification.

Licensees would be granted the sole rights in a defined territory to:-

  • The Cosmopolitan name.
  • The Cosmopolitan operating and management systems.
  • Marketing & sales support via The Cosmopolitan, and other, websites.
  • On-going business training and advice on all operational issues.
  • 10-year renewable contracts.


What do we look for in potential licensees?


Our potential licensees will be either companies or individuals who, 1) have sufficient financial means to fund the purchase of a suitable property in a chosen territory and 2) can convince us of their commitment, enthusiasm and ability to meet the required operating standards.

Very early on in the recruitment process we will expect the prospective licensee to outline in writing and presentation their understanding of their target area's guest accommodation marketplace and the potential demand for a Cosmopolitan-branded product.


The Active Leisure commitment to licencing.


We see the licencing of The Cosmopolitan brand as fundamental to our long-term core strategy of establishing a chain of branded guest accommodation establishments across the UK.

Success in this will only be achieved by our supporting our licensees, and by our licensees sharing our commitment to maximising customer satisfaction. We are therefore mutually dependent. Our licensees are our "Partners in Success".
