PUBLIC HOUSE WITH ROOMS, BREWERY AND CAMPING SITE in North Yorkshire for Sale.
A long-established and highly regarded country inn with letting accommodation occupies a picturesque position within a charming rural village in a popular tourist region of Northern England. Situated close to a national park and within easy reach of an attractive market town, heritage attractions, forests and the coastline, the business enjoys an enviable trading location that attracts visitors throughout the year. The surrounding area is renowned for its walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with several nearby holiday accommodation providers offering further opportunities to develop referral partnerships and increase trade.
The property is a traditional stone-built, family-run public house that has remained under the same ownership for several decades, establishing a strong reputation for hospitality and excellent local connections. The business offers a welcoming bar and restaurant serving quality home-cooked food prepared using locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a comprehensive drinks offering. In addition, the property provides 11 well-appointed guest bedrooms, with two further rooms situated within an adjacent cottage that is available by separate negotiation on either a freehold or leasehold basis.
A particularly distinctive feature of the business is its historic association with an adjoining independent brewery, which has previously provided a unique identity and attracted both local customers and tourists through brewery tours, events and the supply of award-winning beers.
Trading throughout the week, the business benefits from strong year-round custom supplemented by significant seasonal tourism. Weekly sales average approximately £14,000, with substantially higher turnover achieved during the peak summer months. Operations are supported by an experienced team comprising five full-time and seven part-time members of staff, enabling the business to maintain high standards of customer service.
In addition to the core hospitality operation, the business benefits from the use of two nearby camping fields held under a long-standing periodic tenancy. These provide an additional income stream while enhancing the property's appeal to a broad range of visitors, including campers, walkers, cyclists and larger groups.
The extensive outdoor areas also present considerable scope to expand the business through events, private functions, weddings and corporate gatherings. The property already hosts a successful annual festival featuring live entertainment, food and a wide selection of beverages, demonstrating the site's ability to accommodate large visitor numbers. There remains significant potential to build upon this established events offering.
Overall, this represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a profitable and characterful hospitality business in an attractive rural setting. The combination of a long trading history, loyal customer base, tourism-driven income, quality accommodation, brewery association and extensive outdoor space provides excellent prospects for continued growth under new ownership.
In addition to the hospitality business, the opportunity also includes the option to acquire an adjoining commercial brewery. Established over 40 years ago, the brewery has built a respected reputation within the independent brewing sector, producing a wide range of traditional ales, lagers and craft beers for both local and wider regional distribution. The facility has also historically undertaken contract brewing for a number of well-known clients, offering further opportunities for income generation alongside the production of its own brands.
The brewery is comprehensively equipped with commercial brewing plant and machinery, including a complete brewhouse, fermentation and storage vessels, together with fully integrated bottling, canning and cask-conditioning facilities.
