Dating from the 15th century, The Dolfor Inn is a large, characterful freehold pub‑hotel set in rural Mid Wales. The property includes a small bar, a cosy restaurant with about 20 covers, six ensuite letting rooms, a recently refurbished self‑contained apartment and private owners’ accommodation — all within approximately 4,501 sq ft and extensive grounds with a large car park.
The site offers clear income and growth potential: previous planning consent exists for two garden lodges, the garden and car park are suitable for glamping or motorhome stopovers, and extended opening hours or added lunch service could increase turnover. Many fittings are included in the sale (subject to inventory), and the current owners have recently upgraded windows, redecorated interiors and improved the kitchen and boiler.
Notable positives are the substantial plot, period features (oak beams, stone walls), six ensuite rooms plus apartment for extra letting, and a low rateable value (RV £6,850). Practical facts to consider: heating is oil‑fired with boiler and underfloor elements, the energy rating is D, and broadband speeds are slow. The property sits in a very deprived rural area and will need active on‑site management or further investment to unlock its development opportunities.
This is best suited to an owner‑operator or investor looking for a turnkey rural hospitality business with scope to expand accommodation and trading. Trading information and a full inventory can be provided to seriously interested parties; purchasers should verify business rates and any statutory requirements independently.
