This quintessential Cornish Inn is located in the beautiful village of Bodinnick across the river from Fowey. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this pretty harbour town is situated on the west side of a deep estuary, where the Fowey River reaches the sea.

The town of St Austell is just (8 miles) away which gives access to all the major transportation links.
Business Description
Veritas Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this popular Cornish Inn which is located in the village of Bodinnick overlooking the river Fowey. The Inn dates back to the 1500's and has been in the careful hands of our clients for the past 3 years. They are now offering the business for sale due to other business interests requiring their attention.
Since ownership they have undertaken a complete renovation of the guest rooms, refurbishment of the pub and invested in new equipment along with fixtures & fittings which are all bought and paid for and included within the sale price which is a huge plus for any new purchaser as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. The Old Ferry Inn is owner operated and employs the the help of 2 full time and 3 part time members of staff and has an annual turnover of circa £400,000. They only serve breakfast for the overnight guests then open of an evening and serve fresh fish, steaks, burgers and classics such as homemade lasagne, chilli, curry and fish & chips. All fayre is freshly prepared to order on site using only the finest local produce. The Inn offers 9 guest letting rooms many of which have stunning views of the river Fowey. We believe that there is further potential to increase trade should you wish, by opening during the daytime. Many visitors to the village use the ferry to cross the river Fowey walking past the door of the pub on one of the most popular walks in Cornwall. To be able to stop for a crab sandwich and a pint would prove to be extremely popular. The Old Ferry Inn enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and beyond and as such has a high level of regular and repeat trade along with many visiting tourists. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a business with further potential which is a great base to build upon and as such early viewing is highly recommended.
