THE BUSINESS
The Cornish Arms is a renowned and successful traditional character village inn. Being extremely well presented throughout, the business benefits from excellent levels of regular, year-round trade, which is boosted by visitors and tourists to the area throughout the year. Unfortunately, the business closed in January 2024. Set within a unique and impressive character filled property, the business is a traditional country village inn and destination public house. The Cornish Arms received a 5 Star Food Hygiene Rating and a Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Award in 2023. Providing an exceptional trading environment, the inn appeals to a wide range of customers and retains a proper pub feel, rather than that of a restaurant. The letting bedrooms provide popular and received good reviews online. The spacious rooms have, like the rest of the inn, been totally renovated to a very high standard and provide the perfect resting place for a country getaway or a business stopover. This is a unique opportunity to re-establish this extremely successful and well-regarded all-round hospitality business, and which is a "turnkey" business opportunity. The Cornish Arms is a versatile and impressive inn, located in a very desirable location and is undoubtedly a very special place to live and work and a formal viewing is essential in order to appreciate all that this high quality multi-faceted business opportunity has to offer.
