Description

TO LEASE
The Red Lion, Pontrhydfendigaid - a substantial and attractive riverside inn occupying a landmark position in the heart of this historic village.

Standing on the banks of the River Teifi, this detached three-storey stone property enjoys an enviable setting, complete with parking and gardens, and has benefitted from significant recent investment and refurbishment. The business is currently closed, presenting an excellent opportunity for new operators to reopen and revitalise this much-improved property.

The inn features two distinct and characterful bar areas. The public bar offers a traditional setting with exposed stone walls, wooden flooring, fireplaces, a pool table, dart boards, and a well-positioned central bar servery. The lounge bar, which doubles as a restaurant space, has an inviting inglenook fireplace, timber flooring, and a comfortable dining layout for approximately 20 covers, again served by the central servery.

The catering kitchen, situated conveniently for service, is fitted with stainless steel units, UPVC panelled walls, a non-slip floor, and a large extraction canopy, making it mostly equipped for commercial operation. There are separate ladies' and gentlemen's toilets, and a well-maintained beer cellar at basement level.

On the first and second floors, the letting accommodation comprises seven well-appointed en suite bedrooms. These include two spacious family rooms, several doubles, and rooms with charming period features such as vaulted ceilings and exposed stonework. A dedicated laundry room is also located on the first floor for operational efficiency.

Externally, the property includes a newly constructed outbuilding housing a freezer room and log store.

The rear garden is arranged as an enclosed gravelled terrace with space for over 40 customers, complemented by a further lawned area that wraps around the car park and enjoys uninterrupted views over the river and the village's ancient stone bridge. A gravel car park provides space for approximately 20 vehicles.

Our client would consider leasing the ground floor commercial area and basement, to include the beer garden to the rear of the property at a discounted rent.

Located at the junction of the B4340 and B4330 routes, Pontrhydfendigaid is a popular destination for tourists exploring the Cambrian Mountains, Strata Florida Abbey, Devil's Bridge, and the nearby Cors Caron National Nature Reserve. The surrounding area is renowned for outdoor pursuits including fishing, shooting, and walking, with events like the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in nearby Tregaron adding to its quirky charm.

The Red Lion represents an outstanding opportunity for energetic and entrepreneurial operators to reopen and develop a well-established, beautifully located village inn. Internal inspection is strongly recommended to appreciate the scope, condition, and potential on offer.
