Description
The property boasts expansive river views and is surrounded by the charm and vibrancy of Llangollen town centre. Known for its year-round appeal to tourists and outdoor enthusiasts, the town features attractions such as the UNESCO-listed canal from Glendrid to Horseshoe Falls, the Llangollen Railway Heritage Line, and the scenic hike to Castell Dinas Brân. The area is also well-served by a variety of bars, restaurants, boutique shops, and supermarkets, making it a lively and convenient location for both visitors and residents.
LocationLocated on Bridge Street in the centre of Llangollen, with a scenic position alongside the River Dee. The property benefits from views of the historic bridge and the flowing water of the weir. Its riverside setting offers a pleasant outlook and occasional glimpses of local wildlife and river activity. Llangollen is a well-visited UNESCO World Heritage site, appreciated for its natural surroundings and outdoor attractions, and is conveniently situated near Snowdonia and other popular destinations in North Wales
Internal DetailsAfter 37 years of operation, Bensons has recently scaled down its services. It currently functions as a bar with a beer garden, open from late morning to late evening. The once-thriving restaurant and commercial kitchen are no longer in use, and the 11 letting rooms—some featuring balconies and river views—are now underutilised due to the owner's reduced capacity to manage operations. Despite this, the infrastructure remains in place, offering significant potential for revitalisation.
Fixtures & FittingsWe have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale apart from antiques and memorabilia, subject to an inventory.
External DetailsBeer garden (25) with views of the river
The OpportunityThis is a rare chance to breathe new life into a well-positioned and character-rich property. New ownership could restore and expand the business by reactivating the commercial kitchen with stunning river views. The enclosed decked beer garden adds further appeal. Refurbishing and fully reopening the letting rooms as a bed and breakfast could also generate substantial income, capitalizing on Llangollen’s strong tourism market
