Llangattock, Powys, NP8

Nestled within the stunning landscape of the internationally famous Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park in Wales, amidst the scenic backdrop of the Usk Valley which is brimming over with mountains, rivers, canals and woodland trails, this handsome 22 en-suite bedroom country house hotel is set within expansive grounds of circa 11 acres and is approached via a sweeping driveway with open lawns and extensive parking facilities. Comprising the hotel, restaurant, bar, conservatory, plus an events / conference room with its own dedicated bar, this represents an excellent opportunity for buyers to acquire a commercial property which is not actively trading thus providing interested parties with the freedom to create a fine hotel, wedding and dining experience to their own specification and brand.

Entered through a large, welcoming reception with cosy lounge area, an adjoining guest bar offers both casual and restaurant seating spaces and seamlessly flows into a private dining room and a conservatory which delivers additional restaurant dining and opens onto a stunning sun terrace affording a splendid vista over the National Park. The first floor events / conference room with bar and entertainment area is perfect for weddings or corporate events, with guest cloaks facilities available on both the ground and first floors. The total internal area of the property is about 15,232 sqft/1,415 sqm which is arranged over three floors with one lift servicing the first floor. The hotel has a commercial kitchen fitted with trade catering equipment and a walk-in cold store, an external laundry room, housekeeper and management offices, and a staff restroom. There are also ample storage facilities throughout the hotel, in addition to eaves and loft storage on the upper floors.

The hotel has always been a source of pride and very much part of the community in Llangattock and has hosted charity events over the years as well as featuring in Channel 4’s “Four in a Bed” in 2018 which the hotel went on to win. The venue for many weddings over the years, the owners have improved the guest facilities and increased the entertainment and dining spaces both outside and in to increase the capacity that the hotel can offer.

The property benefits from planning permission granted in 2018 by the Brecon Beacons National Park Planning Authority under planning reference 17/15382/FUL for a new permanent purpose built leisure / spa and function facility with new parking area and landscaping to replace the temporary marquee that had been used for wedding events. Whilst the facility has not been constructed, the works specified under the consent were commenced with the installation of the sun terrace and the enlarged parking area.

The property offers the potential for a variety of other uses, for example: residential, retirement, educational, or as a care home facility, subject to the required planning consent. The property is within proximity to residential dwellings and any possible change would obviously require sensitivity towards the neighbouring properties.
