The Britannia Inn is an established country inn situated on the beautiful Horseshoe Pass just outside Llangollen on an ancient drovers route. The property offers much character and is steeped in history. It was built in the fourteenth century by monks of the nearby Valle Crucis Abbey. The property sits at the foot of the mountain pass and offers stunning views of the Vale of Llangollen. The venue is popular with locals and tourists alike with coach trips bringing tourists from all around the world stopping at the property. A number of tourist attractions, historical sites and natural beauty surrounds the building with Llangollen just a short drive offering attractions including the Steam Railway, the annual Eisteddfod with the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct being a unesco World Heritage site.
The A542 Horseshoe Pass lies just off the A5 offering links to Wrexham eastbound and Snowdonia National Park and the Isle of Anglesey to the north-west. The nearby A494 also provides links to the Wirral Peninsular and the Snowdonia towns of Dolgellau and Barmouth. Llangollen Railway Station serves the town with numerous bus links providing services to Wrexham, Ceirog Valley and Shrewsbury.
The property dates back to the fourteenth century and is of stone and brick construction with rendered and colourwashed elevations under a pitched tile roof. There is an extensive trade garden, car park and land to the rear of the building. Planning permission has been granted for a bungalow to the left hand side of the public house.
Our clients have operated the Britannia Inn for over 20 years and now wish to retire. The business trades as a country inn and is popular with holidaymakers and tourists visiting the stunning Horseshoe Pass and enjoying the many walking and cycling routes the area has to offer. The business is currently run as a ‘lifestyle’ operation on a 2 days per week basis for 37 weeks a year. The Britannia Inn closes over the winter period which offers the potential for a new owner to extend its opening hours and increase sales. There is also potential to introduce holiday pods and accommodate tourer caravans on the extensive carpark. The new owner might also cultivate links with coach companies and travel operators, taking advantage of the business’s location at the foot of Horseshoe Pass, near the popular tourist town of Llangollen.
