A Characterful Coaching Inn with Rooms in the Heart of Welshpool

The Pub

The Westwood Park Hotel is a traditional coaching inn located in the market town of Welshpool, offering multiple income streams through the bar, accommodation and future food potential.

At the heart of the pub is a large central U-shaped bar area, with seating wrapping around the trading space and a dedicated darts area. The pub has previously supported live sport and offers a solid base for a community-focused drinks business.

Food is currently limited to serving breakfast for guests, providing an opportunity for an incoming publican to introduce a simple lunchtime food offer and broaden the appeal of the business.

Outside, the pub benefits from a courtyard seating area, complete with booths and space for live entertainment during the summer months, helping to support events and seasonal trade.

The pub also benefits from seven letting rooms, which have proved popular with contractors, tourists and repeat guests visiting the area. Two are double rooms with ensuite and four are twin rooms (two with a shared bathroom).

Location

The Westwood Park Hotel is located in Welshpool, a busy market town close to the Welsh-English border.

Positioned within the Severn Valley, the town benefits from strong transport links, including road and rail connections to Shrewsbury, Birmingham and the surrounding area. Welshpool is a popular base for exploring Mid Wales and attracts a mix of visitors throughout the year.

Ideal Publican

This opportunity will suit a hands-on publican or partnership with a passion for hospitality and strong attention to detail.

Someone who can make the most of the pub’s accommodation business while developing a simple food offer will do well here. The ability to create events, promote the business locally and maintain high standards across both the pub and rooms will be key.

A welcoming approach and strong people skills will help build on the site’s existing reputation and encourage repeat custom.

Accommodation

The pub includes private on-site accommodation, comprising a one-bedroom flat, with a lounge and bathroom.
