A rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable landmark riverside inn with over 125 years of trading history, set within one of Dartmoor National Park's most iconic and protected locations.
The Fingle Bridge Inn is a well-established freehold food-led pub and restaurant positioned beside the historic Grade II* listed Fingle Bridge on the River Teign. Renowned for its exceptional setting, the business attracts walkers, tourists, anglers, families and local visitors throughout the year. The premises provide over 130 internal covers, seating for a further 145 guests across picturesque riverside terraces, and benefit from a long-standing reputation for quality hospitality. The business currently trades on an approximate 70/30 split between food and wet sales.
Located within both Dartmoor National Park and a designated National Landscape, the property enjoys an unrivalled trading position surrounded by National Trust and Woodland Trust land. Its proximity to Castle Drogo and numerous popular walking routes ensures a consistent flow of visitors, while planning protections within the National Park create an exceptionally limited supply of competing hospitality businesses.
The substantial property offers excellent future growth potential. Opportunities include expanding destination marketing, extending trading hours, reintroducing weddings and private events, developing holiday accommodation (subject to the necessary planning permissions), and increasing revenue through additional income streams such as takeaway and retail sales. Extensive owner's accommodation makes the business suitable for family ownership or multi-generational operation.
Comprehensive handover support will be available, with trading accounts provided following a signed non-disclosure agreement and verification of purchaser credentials.
