The property has been in the current families’ ownership for over 40 years. In the early years they operated it themselves but have had it let out for an extended period of time. With the current tenant due to depart they have decided it is now time to sell.

It has been traded as a successful hotel/restaurant/public house. In recent times though, trade has decreased as the tenant reduced the business down. The property is in need of investment to restore it to its former glories.

It presents a fantastic opportunity for a new operator to develop this into one of the leading venues in the area. With the right investment, there are extensive opportunities to make full use of the property and the land.

Alternative uses may include conversion to a private dwelling, outdoor activity center, small care facility or multiple private dwellings. All would be subject to receiving the relevant planning permissions.
