This Business Partnership opportunity is available immediately!

With its prominent central location, the Swan Inn is perfectly placed to capitalise on a good cross section of visitors to Sturminster Newton, an attractive rural market town in North Dorset.

Local market traders operate outside the pub every Monday and there are regular bus services into and out of the town. The licensed trading competition in the town is mainly limited to the White Hart pub (opposite), the Exchange (community and venue site) and the Football Club.

Every September, a hugely popular Cheese Festival is held in the town and there is a well attended carnival every October. This is a good sized pub with guest accommodation that has great business potential for the right operator.

This is a great opportunity. Could this be the pub for you?

The Swan has a prominent and attractive exterior and a spacious L-shaped interior layout, with well defined trading areas. There is a good sized bar area at the front of the pub and an extensive dining area to the rear, which leads out to the lovely landscaped garden.

The comfortable guest rooms are accessed from a central staircase. They are in good decorative order with historic references to the days when Sturminster Newton held the biggest agricultural market in the South of England.

This is a striking, historic building with great character and the added benefit of guest accommodation.
