Summary - Royal Oak, Ross Road, Much Marcle, Ledbury, Herefordshire HR8 2ND HR8 2ND
8 bed 1 bath Pub
Profitable rural pub with spacious letting income and large grounds.
Free-of-tie country inn with proven annual profit over £80,000 for working owners
A rare free-of-tie country inn with proven trading performance and substantial land. Accounts to May 2025 show turnover of £270,127 (net of VAT) and annual profit for working owners in excess of £80,000, achieved on a four-and-a-half day week — leaving clear scope to increase revenues by extending opening hours and marketing the letting accommodation further.
The property sits prominently on the A449 between Ross-on-Wye and Worcester, well placed for local trade and tourists visiting the Forest of Dean and Malvern Hills. Guest accommodation comprises two en-suite letting rooms and two detached letting apartments, generating over £50,000 per year; the business is genuinely a mixed-use hospitality asset with bars, restaurant, large function room and commercial kitchen all included.
Occupying around 3.25 acres, the site includes a huge tarmac car park for 100+ vehicles, outbuildings, and a 1.75 acre paddock suitable for events, glamping, equestrian or alternative income streams. The owners’ private accommodation is a generous four-double-bedroom house with private roof terrace, making this a convenient live-work setup for operator-owners.
Important considerations: the business is offered with a new ten-year fully repairing and insuring lease at an annual rent of £36,000 (rent deposit £6,000). The relatively short secured lease term may restrict mortgage lending options — some lenders could refuse to lend on this basis. Prospective purchasers should factor in the rent and lease length when assessing finance and long-term plans.
