London Road, Tetbury, GL8

Established Pub, Restaurant & Accommodation Business – Going Concern

A rare opportunity to acquire The Trouble House, a well known, characterful and fully operational hospitality business with an excellent reputation and supported by review platforms such as trip advisor, Google reviews and booking.com

This long established, family run pub and restaurant is renowned for quality food, drink and warm, attentive service. It enjoys a loyal local customer base, attracts destination diners from across the Cotswolds, and benefits from steady passing trade thanks to its prominent position on the outskirts of Tetbury. The property offers ample parking, a detached barn ideal for private hire, and an attractive large and walled garden that enhances trading during fine weather.

Inside, the business provides well balanced trading areas designed for year round operation, including a welcoming bar, comfortable dining spaces and an established food led offer. The layout supports efficient day to day service while also offering flexibility for private events, group bookings and seasonal variations in demand. The overall presentation reflects a business deeply embedded in its community and popular with both regulars and new visitors.

The first floor includes spacious three double bedroom managers’ accommodation (plus office/smaller bedroom), providing valuable on site living space or additional rental income potential. This accommodation supports tourism demand and adds resilience to the trading model, with scope for further development if desired.

Externally, generous customer seating and landscaped outdoor areas enhance the venue’s appeal during warmer months and help drive incremental food and drink sales. The setting complements the property’s charm and reinforces its position as a destination venue.

Significant behind the scenes investment has been made in recent years, strengthening the operational infrastructure and reducing future capital expenditure. Upgrades include a full electrical conversion from single to three phase power with new smart meter and master fuse board, a new boiler installed in December 2025, and a new borehole pump and internal water system installed at the same time. High speed fibre broadband (Gigaclear) supports business operations and guest expectations. Note, A new sewage treatment system and internal grease trap plant is scheduled for installation April 2026, further strengthening the site’s long term resilience.

Guest accommodation has also been enhanced. A B&B room was been created, while two glamping shepherd huts, all contributing to additional income and strong seasonal appeal.

Externally, the property benefits from a large off road car park, extensive landscaped gardens and a barn well suited to events, private hire and functions. An additional outbuilding offers clear development potential, and the circa four acre site open up further opportunities such as expanded accommodation, enhanced events use or alternative leisure ventures, subject to the necessary consents.

The setting adds significant value to the offering. Beautiful walking routes run nearby, and the property sits opposite the end of National Cycle Route 48, drawing in cyclists, walkers and passing trade throughout the year. This strong leisure connection and local tourist attractions (Highgrove, Gatcombe Park, Polo Clubs, Westonbirt, Castle Coombe etc) supports food and drink sales, overnight stays and outdoor events, while the surrounding land provides a sense of space and privacy increasingly sought after by customers and operators alike.

The business is offered for sale due to personal circumstances and presents an exceptional opportunity for a new operator to take over a profitable, turnkey enterprise with multiple income streams and clear potential for further growth. Opportunities exist to increase turnover through extended opening hours, enhanced food offerings, events programming and targeted marketing
