The Opportunity

This is only the second time the business has been for sale in 50 years, our clients have been the owners for the past 20 years. The Neuadd Arms Hotel benefits from having the most prominent position in the town, being at the very heart of all that takes place, and is recognised as the main meeting point for organised activities and is where most groups tend to gather at the start and end of their day. This brings in business throughout the day all year round.

The Neuadd Arms Hotel is firmly on the map and has become the epicentre of outdoor activities and the many events organised and run by the local community.

In recent years the owners of The Neuadd Arms have taken a step back, reduced their involvement in the daily running of the business and only tend to work and stay at weekends, leaving the business to be run by the staff during the week. The decision has now been made to retire and hand over the reins to new owners who can inherit an established customer base and develop and grow the business to its full potential.

Staff

A full staff list will be made available to seriously interested parties.
