Description

PUBLIC HOUSE WITH ROOMS AND CAMPING SITE in North Yorkshire for Sale.

A long-established and highly regarded country inn with letting accommodation, occupying a picturesque position within a charming North Yorkshire village on the edge of a nationally renowned moorland national park. The business enjoys an enviable trading location within a highly popular tourist destination, benefitting from excellent year-round visitor appeal, outstanding walking and cycling routes, and close proximity to a range of well-known attractions, historic market towns and coastal resorts. There are also several nearby holiday accommodation providers, presenting excellent opportunities to establish new referral relationships and further increase trade.

This traditional stone-built, family-run public house has been under the same ownership for almost 40 years, building an excellent reputation for quality hospitality and strong local support. The business offers a welcoming bar and restaurant serving a varied menu of home-cooked food alongside a comprehensive drinks offering, complemented by 11 well-appointed guest bedrooms (with two additional rooms located within an adjacent cottage available by separate negotiation).

A particularly distinctive feature is the property's long-standing association with a well-known neighbouring brewery, which has historically enhanced the venue's reputation and attracted both local customers and visitors through brewery tours, events and specialist ales.

The business trades seven days a week and enjoys consistent year-round custom, with tourism providing a substantial seasonal uplift. Weekly turnover averages approximately £14,000, increasing significantly during the peak summer months. Operations are supported by the owner together with an experienced team of five full-time and seven part-time staff.

In addition to the licensed premises and guest accommodation, the business benefits from two camping fields held under a long-standing periodic tenancy, generating valuable supplementary income while broadening the customer base. These facilities significantly enhance the business's appeal to walkers, cyclists, touring visitors and larger groups.

The extensive outdoor space also offers considerable scope for future growth through the expansion of events, festivals, weddings, private functions and corporate gatherings. The venue already hosts a highly successful annual beer festival, demonstrating its ability to accommodate large-scale events and providing a strong platform for further development.

Overall, this represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a profitable and characterful hospitality business with an established reputation, multiple income streams, tourism-driven trade, quality guest accommodation and significant future growth potential in one of North Yorkshire's most desirable rural destinations.

The freehold property may also be available by separate negotiation, with the current owners willing to consider a sale and leaseback arrangement at a commencing annual rent of £65,000.
