Ref 7905 – Freehold Pub, AirBNB Cottage & Accomm
Blacks Brokers are pleased to bring to the market this freehold public house with owner’s accommodation and AirBNB cottage located in Lydney, Gloucestershire.

Introduction

The Miners Arms was erected in 1841 as a beer house and has since become a well known and popular pub within this area of Gloucestershire. Our client took ownership in 2018 with a plan to renovate the building and business. During the last few years, our client has invested over £150,000 in the renovation work and with this now complete, the business is now ready for sale. The pub offers a range of food and drinks whilst also benefiting from an attached cottage (currently operating as an AirBNB rental property) and a first floor owner’s accommodation. The business is very well known in this area with a strong base of regular customers in place as well as benefitting from a huge amount of passing trade due to this excellent trading position. Our client has ensured the business has an excellent reputation and superb reviews are noted online. The Miners Arms has a comprehensive website in place.

Location

The Miners Arms occupies a main road trading position in the village of Whitecroft. The area is well populated residentially with neighbouring businesses including holiday parks, camping sites and independent retailers. The area is well linked by the A48 and the property has a large car park. Positioned in the Forest of Dean, next to the Dean Steam railway and many incredible walking and hiking routes.

Reason for sale

The business is very well suited to a hands-on owner-operator but as outlined above, our client purchased the business as a renovation project and with this is now complete, the business is offered for sale. This presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner-operator or team to take the business to the next level.

Staff

The business operates with twelve members of staff in employment – this includes a head chef and front of house manager.

Summary

This long established business occupies an enviable trading position in a stunning and picturesque area of Gloucestershire. Our client has renovated the building to a high level with much investment as well as maintaining a strong customer base and exceptional reputation. There is plenty of scope to develop the business further with the introduction of a strong marketing drive, new social media presence, weekly events and so on. This proposition would ideally suit an owner operating team who could push the business forward and build upon the solid and impressive trading foundations. Early viewings are strongly advised. Business & Property: £799,995.
