Summary

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.

Location

Location Summary

Llangattock is a favoured residential village set amongst the stunning scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park alongside the banks of the River Usk with the popular market town of Crickhowell lying just across the river bridge. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal borders the grounds of the property and passes through the village which is home to a thriving community and St Catwg’s Church, which is believed to be one of the oldest churches in Wales, dating from the 6th Century. Llangattock and Crickhowell are set amongst the stunning scenery of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park on opposite sides of the river bank of the River Usk. The larger town of Crickhowell which is within walking distance of Llangattock is highly regarded amongst the walking community and is a haven for both home seekers and tourists alike. The town was the first winner of the annual Best High Street in Britain Award and is famed for its family run and independent businesses including several grocers, two butchers, a delicatessen, a baker, Wales’s first zero waste shop, and a newsagent/post office. In addition, there are several individual boutiques, cafes, a book shop which attracts famous authors to its doors, and a florist, plus of course Cric, the tourist information and resource archive centre.

Crickhowell also benefits from dentist surgeries, a health centre, a garage, and the iconic Webbs hardware store. There are numerous public houses, gastro pubs and restaurants, and no description of Crickhowell would be complete without mentioning The Bear which has been serving customers since 1432 and stands in a prominent position at the head of the high street, in the centre of this bustling town.

For more comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities, the historic market town of Abergavenny is just 7 miles away and offers a wide selection of boutique style shops, grocery and newsagent stores, major supermarkets and many well-known high street shops, including WH Smiths, Boots, and a large Waitrose hypermarket with John Lewis at Home section. Abergavenny also hosts a market several times a week which includes a farmers’ market, flea market and a monthly night food market. The town has its own cinema and leisure centre as well as several eateries for evening entertainment. The railway station has regular services into central London via Newport, with good road links giving access to the motorway for Bristol, Birmingham, the South West and London and “A” routes for Monmouth, Hereford, Cwmbran and Cardiff.
