PEMBROKESHIRE – SUBSTANTIAL HOTEL ON BUSY MAIN STREET CLOSE TO MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION

The former county town of Pembroke is an historic settlement which sits on the southern peninsula of Pembrokeshire, to the side of the estuary of the River Cleddau, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. The town itself has a rich history, being developed around the castle which still dominates the town and landscape today. Initially built by Roger de Montgomery in 1093 during the Norman invasion of Wales, it continued to play an active role in the development of medieval Britain and is famed as the birthplace of King Henry VII, the first Tudor king. Both the town and the surrounding national park attract a large number of tourists and holidaymakers throughout the year.

The Middlegate Hotel stands at the centre of the busy Main Street amongst numerous hotels, public houses and retail units. The property itself is terraced and appears to be constructed in the main of stone and brick with rendered and colourwashed elevations under a pitched slate roof. It offers extensive accommodation comprising an interconnecting café, public house and former nightclub, eight guest bedrooms and small private quarters. It also has the benefit of a private car park to the rear with gated access from the town’s main car park. This rear section previously had the benefit of planning for the major development of letting bedrooms.

The premises have been in the same family hands for a number of years but have become available to purchase due to ill health and our clients’ wish to retire from the trade.
