Horseshoe Inn, Mamhilad, Pontypool, Monmouthshire, NP4 8QZ

This business has been in our clients hands since 2014 and during this period they have developed the property and business considerably. The property's position is a pleasant drive out from a number of areas of high population and is particularly attractive during the summer months with customers taking the benefit of superb al fresco seating.

The Horseshoe is situated in the most attractive location on raised ground with superb views over rolling pasture farmland to the West and the Brecon Beacons National Park to the East. It is approximately 8 miles from Abergavenny in the lee of the Blorenge Hills adjacent to the Brecon and Monmouth Canal which has an important mooring point at nearby Goytre Wharf. The immediate area is a popular residential location for those working in the principality of South Wales and some across the border within Bristol.
