Traditional Country Inn Restaurant & 9 Bedroom Hotel Carnforth Lancashire

We are delighted to bring to market The Barbon Inn, an attractive and well-established country inn, restaurant and hotel situated in the picturesque village of Barbon, near Carnforth.

This impressive character property is believed to date back to circa 1650, originally built as a farmhouse before being converted into a hotel during the 1800s. Today, the business operates as a traditional English country inn offering a welcoming bar, restaurant and ten well-proportioned letting bedrooms, attracting both local customers and visitors throughout the year.

The current owners acquired the business in 2023 and have invested significantly in maintaining and upgrading the property, including new windows and doors, extending the customer car park and carrying out ongoing improvements whilst retaining the building’s traditional character.

Internally, the property offers a warm and inviting bar with a feature Yorkshire open range, together with a charming restaurant featuring exposed beams, an open fireplace and views over the gardens. A spacious fully equipped commercial kitchen supports the food operation, while externally there is an attractive beer garden together with customer parking for over 30 vehicles.

Accommodation comprises two twin/double rooms, seven double rooms and one single room, with the majority benefiting from en-suite facilities. The owners also enjoy the benefit of a self-contained owners accommodation comprising a spacious lounge/dining room, double bedroom, dressing room and en-suite shower room.

The business is currently owner operated with one full-time and two part-time members of staff.

The Barbon Inn is offered on a leasehold basis, held on a 20-year lease from March 2011, on full repairing and insuring terms, with three-yearly rent reviews and a current annual rent of circa £35,000.

The sale represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced hospitality operator or hands-on owner-management team to acquire a substantial and established country inn with accommodation, food and beverage income and further scope to build upon its existing trading foundations.

The business is offered for sale due to retirement. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, character and scale of this opportunity.
