Description

Description

The current owner?s acquired the property in 2014 and undertook a two year back to brick refurbishment. From re-opening in 2016, the business operated as a very popular bar and bistro, with letting rooms and owner?s accommodation, before changing use in 2022 to become a sleep 14 holiday let. The opportunity exists for a new owner to either continue to operate the business as a holiday let or to easily revert to the former bar/bistro/accommodation operation.
