Internally, it has ground floor public trading areas with letting rooms and private accommodation on the first floor.

It leads through to the conservatory which has flagged flooring and exposed stonework to the walls. This space is currently used to accommodate the pool table.

The restaurant/breakfast area is currently not in use, but is in a good state of repair, with a good standard of décor and laminate flooring throughout. It can accommodate 28/30 covers at full capacity.

Ancillary accommodation at this level includes ladies and gentlemen’s customer toilets, upland beer store, storage and a freezer room. There is a large catering kitchen with extraction, although is not currently in use and not fitted out.

First Floor –
There are four well-appointed double-ensuite letting rooms, some with superb views over the surrounding scenery. There is space for a fifth room, but the current tenant has chosen to use this as storage/workshop space. Other ancillary accommodation at this level includes storage, laundry and washing area.

Also on this floor is the private owner’s/manager’s accommodation, which comprises of three bedrooms, lounge/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and office space.

External –
Large, grassed beer garden to the front with children’s play area and views of the moors. The coal bunker for the pub is here alongside a decked area. To the side is a smaller enclosed garden, which the tenant uses as a private space.

There are several dedicated parking spaces directly to the side of the pub for up to 8 cars and a larger shared car park with the caravan site directly next to these.

Our client has owned the pub and adjoining campsite for an extended period of time. They have operated the pub themselves in the past but have mainly let out. The current tenant now wishes to retire and will not be renewing their lease upon expiry. Our client is therefore looking for a new tenant.

The business has been operated only on a partial basis for the last 2 years, with very limited opening hours, no food and the rooms have not been let out as the current tenant winds down to retirement. Our client is looking for somebody to come in and get the business back up and running on a full-time basis for wet, food and accommodation sales.

This area sees a large influx of tourists during the main season but also enjoys a good flow of visitors year-round with the exception of January and February. The adjoining camping and caravan site has a mixture of owned pitches and touring pitches that provide a strong source of income. There are also a number of other nearby sites, which we are advised, do not provide bar or restaurant facilities.
