A rare opportunity in a Georgian river town, with many potential income streams. The potential publican needs to have a multi-function approach to this great business opportunity. Establishing all elements of the business would see great potential realised, from B&B to a private function room; there are some great facets to this business. The building has a prominent corner plot on a main road into Bewdley. The steam railway runs within sight of the pub and beer garden and is a stunning feature of the local town. Currently undergoing a name change to the Bewdley Hotel. Upon entering the building, a welcoming coachhouse feel is created by the open fire and original features which characterise the pub. A bar area runs the length of the site and has seating for 20 covers. To the side of the bar, customers can walk into the restaurant, which seats a further 25 guests, offering a little more privacy from the busy bar and is ideal for relaxed family dining. A second bar area has been converted into office space, but could easily be reverted to public use, increasing capacity and creating more facilities. For those special private occasions, there is a standalone barn house in the beer garden, which can be used for parties and celebrations. The trade kitchen is well-equipped and spacious enough to deal with high levels of turnover, including activity in the barn. There are nine letting bedrooms, five of which are en-suite, and these prove popular with business visitors and tourists. The beer garden benefits from having good-quality furniture and a thoughtful design. This great asset is very popular with both tourists and the local community, who enjoy the peace and calm of the space as well as the atmosphere created on busier weekends. The patio is a fantastic sun trap in the summer, and customers flock to enjoy this great facility. The car park is very visible from the roadside, has excellent access and can accommodate up to 14 vehicles.

The ideal operator will be confident in welcoming walkers, cyclists and day-trippers alongside regular local customers, creating a warm and inviting pub experience throughout the year. This opportunity is ideal for a publican who enjoys maximising seasonal trade, capitalising on daytime footfall and delivering a strong food and drink offer that appeals to both visitors and the local community. A passion for hospitality, attention to detail and the ability to adapt the offer to peak tourism periods will be key to success at the Bewdley Inn. Private Accommodation The pub has private accommodation and is suitable for a family. Regional Manager's Thoughts The Bewdley Inn is a standout opportunity in a highly sought-after location, benefiting from consistent year-round tourism alongside a strong local customer base. With its proximity to popular walking routes, attractions and the town centre, this pub has huge potential for an operator who understands how to capitalise on daytime trade while building lasting relationships with the community. In the right hands, the Bewdley Inn can become a real destination pub for both locals and visitors. Surrounding Area The Bewdley Inn is ideally positioned in Wribbenhall, directly opposite the popular riverside town of Bewdley, benefiting from strong year-round tourism and visitor footfall. The area is a well-known destination for walkers, cyclists and day-trippers, making the pub well placed to attract both local residents and visitors exploring the region. One of the area’s biggest draws is the nearby Wyre Forest, a vast expanse of woodland offering walking and cycling trails, family attractions and adventure activities such as Go Ape. This generates consistent daytime trade opportunities, particularly at weekends and during peak holiday periods. The pub also benefits from proximity to the Severn Valley Railway, which runs through the scenic countryside and brings a steady stream of tourists into Bewdley throughout the year. Additional attractions include Bewdley Museum and the historic town centre, known for its characterful buildings, independent shops, cafés and riverside setting. Further afield, visitors are drawn to popular destinations such as Severn Valley Country Park, Worcester Cathedral, and the Malvern Hills, all of which strengthen the wider tourism appeal of the area. This combination of natural beauty, heritage attractions and strong visitor numbers makes the Bewdley Inn an excellent opportunity for a pub that can capitalise on both local and tourist trade.
