Introduction
The Pack Horse Inn is a quintessential country pub located in the heart of a pleasant Northumberland village just off the A1.
The business has been in the current owner’s hands since 1999 and comprises the sale of quality food and drink with the emphasis on a menu comprising local produce from regional suppliers. In addition to the food offer there are 5 letting bedrooms with a separate 1 bed unit within the grounds.
Location
This business opportunity is located around 7 miles inland from the North Northumberland coast and just off the A1 which is the main route between North East England, Edinburgh and Scotland.
In addition to some passing trade from the A1 there is also custom from tourists who come to the area to visit nearby Bamburgh, Seahouses and Alnwick. There are also a number of wedding venues in this part of Northumberland and the pub enjoys some overflow from these events.
