Description
This detached early 19th century Inn has been in the same family ownership since 2006 within which time they have comprehensively improved all aspects of both the building and the business and future proofed many aspects for years to come. The property is mainly two storey with part basement level to include a separate function suite, with ground floor trade areas and first floor letting rooms and private accommodation. The 8 letting rooms can easily be reduced should a purchaser require more than the well maintained 2 bedroom owner's flat. The trade areas are well laid out to provide a choice for the customer ,be that public room or more formal restaurant to lounge seating. In addition there is a versatile function room for over spill dining. The owners have been meticulous in bringing the property back to an impressive state of repair, this includes the addition of electric car charging points, solar panel heating and Photovoltaic electric. so that the next owners can concentrate on growing the existing business. The Inn is well regarded locally and is an excellent location to enjoy much of what the National Park has to offer-beauty and wildness in equal measure. The owners have run the Rest and Be Thankful with two fulltime family members and a loyal staff contingent and are now looking to hand over the reins to pursue other unrelated opportunities.
