Dolfor Inn, Dolfor Road, Dolfor, Newtown, SY16 4AA

Dating back to the 15th century, The Dolfor Inn is a charming and characterful property that has evolved from its origins as a traditional Drovers Inn. The building retains much of its old-world charm, with original oak beams and period features throughout. Today, it operates as a well-regarded B&B, bar, and restaurant, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests and locals.

The Dolfor Inn enjoys a stunning rural setting in the heart of Mid Wales, surrounded by expansive countryside views. It is ideally situated within easy reach of Newtown, Powys Castle, the Elan Valley, and the scenic Kerry Ridgeway, making it a popular base for tourists and walkers alike. The peaceful location offers a true escape while remaining accessible to key local attractions.

The property includes a small but well-appointed bar area and a cosy restaurant with seating for approximately 20 covers. Internally, the Inn has undergone a series of thoughtful upgrades, including the replacement of all windows, redecoration throughout, and the installation of new curtains. The kitchen has also been improved with a new stove and boiler, ensuring it is well-equipped for continued service. All guest rooms have been reconfigured to offer ensuite accommodation, enhancing the overall guest experience and operational efficiency.

We have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

There are six ensuite letting bedrooms, each offering comfortable and well-presented accommodation for guests. In addition to these rooms, the property also includes a recently refurbished apartment, providing an excellent opportunity for further income as an additional letting unit. This flexible space could be used for longer stays, family bookings, or even staff accommodation if required. The guest rooms and apartment have all been thoughtfully updated, contributing to the Inn’s reputation as a quality rural retreat.

The property includes private owners’ accommodation, offering a practical and comfortable living space for those wishing to live on-site. This makes it an ideal lifestyle opportunity for owner-operators looking to immerse themselves in a hospitality business.

The Dolfor Inn presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to build on the current success. There is significant potential to extend opening hours, particularly by introducing lunch service and Sunday lunches. The garden offers scope for further development, with previous planning permission granted for two bed lodges. The large car park could be utilised for motorhome stopovers (Britstops), and the surrounding land is well-suited for glamping or yurts, all taking advantage of the breathtaking views. The current owners, a partnership of three, are selling as part of a planned retirement, having made substantial improvements to the property during their tenure.

Trading information can be made available to seriously interested parties.
