Red Lion, Bridge Street, Pontrhydfendigaid, Ystrad Meurig, Ceredigion, SY25 6BH

The village of Pontrhydfendigaid stands on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, 15 miles east of the Cardigan Bay coastline and the University town of Aberystwyth. It stands at the junction of the B4340 and B4330 routes, with the town of Tregaron and the well known tourist spot of Devil's Bridge some five miles distant. The village stands on the River Teifi, famed for its fishing, and near to Strata Florida Abbey. Indeed, this is an area well known for country pursuits, including fishing, wildfowl shooting and walking, with the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve proving particularly popular with ornithologists. Tregaron is also the home of the renowned World Bog Snorkelling Championships.
 
The Red Lion is located in the heart of the village, a landmark property on the main through road. It is a substantial, spacious, detached three storey property of stone construction beneath a pitched slate roof, standing on a large riverside plot with car park and gardens. Our clients acquired the property approximately 18 months ago and have invested much in the develop of the facilities including refurbishing the main bar and refurbishing and improving the letting accommodation. They have seen the trade steadily increase but have regrettably decided to sell due to a partnership split. This leaves the opportunity for energetic operators to benefit and capitalise on the considerable groundwork they have undertaken.

The property should be viewed to be appreciated and is briefly described as follows:

TRADE AREAS
Entrance vestibule, with bristle carpet mat, providing access into the bar areas. There are two separate rooms: one laid out as a traditional PUBLIC BAR and the other, a LOUNGE BAR/RESTAURANT. The public bar has boarded floor throughout - except some slate tiles adjacent to the servery area - exposed stone walls, two fireplaces (one with a beam lintel, the other with a stone lintel), and loose seating for 20 or so customers with standing space for more.
