Traditional country pub and hotel for sale that could be the change of lifestyle you were looking for

A country pub and hotel in Monmouthshire has gone up for sale - and for £675,000 it could be yours. The Wye Valley Hotel has been an independent family-run business for the last 21 years. It can be found in the rural village of Tintern, only a five-minute walk from the world famous 12th century Tintern Abbey.

It has been marketed by Sidney Phillips Limited, which describes the building as an “exceptional Inn of architectural appeal". The Wye River runs through the village, which is less than 100 yards away from the hotel. Its location is perfect for walkers, birdwatchers and those who wish to escape to the countryside. Visitors have said it’s a fantastic spot to see otters, herons, seals and kingfishers.

There are plenty of attractions nearby too, such as a mediaeval slipway, a working vineyard, the Kingstone micro-brewery, the Old Railway Station, tunnels, caves, sculpture trails and Roman ironworks. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Inside the hotel, there is ample room for an array of seating within its lounge bar, restaurant and public bar. Feel at home as soon as you walk in, with its beamed ceilings, carpeted floor and open Victorian fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. After the reception area and lounge, you’ll find a large kitchen and ‘walk in’ freezer room and a separate wash up area.

Also located on the ground floor - but with a separate external entrance - is the former manager's accommodation. It is currently used for storage, but it consists of a double bedroom and en-suite shower room.

On the first floor, there are eight en-suite double bedrooms, which have recently been refurbished and have coffee facilities and a TV. Above the first floor, there is also a large loft space which, subject to planning, could be utilised for the creation of separate owners accommodation. Finally, there is a parking area and a large garden. The hotel is all set in 0.7 of an acre.

This beautiful landscape has inspired many creatives - it has been painted by Turner, written about by Wordsworth and, more recently, featured in the hit TV series Sex Education.
