Golden Lion

A Rare Opportunity to Run a Destination Pub, Campsite & Holiday Business in the heart of Cornwall.

Surrounded by countryside yet centrally located for both Cornwall's north and south coasts, the Golden Lion attracts walkers, cyclists, watersports enthusiasts, campers, holidaymakers and residents alike. For an ambitious Business Partner, this is an opportunity to operate a thriving destination venue while continuing to develop its already strong reputation.

The Golden Lion enjoys an enviable setting surrounded by open countryside and outdoor adventure.

The reservoir is a popular destination for sailing, paddleboarding, fishing, walking and cycling, attracting visitors throughout the year. Its central location also places both Cornwall's north and south coasts within approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The combination of local trade and year-round tourism provides a broad and varied customer base.

The Golden Lion is a spacious and welcoming country inn offering approximately 90 covers across flexible bar and restaurant areas. The layout comfortably caters for everything from relaxed drinks and family meals to larger gatherings, while a wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point during the cooler months. A well-equipped commercial kitchen supports the established food offer and provides plenty of scope for an operator to continue developing the food business.

The landscaped gardens provide attractive spaces for alfresco dining and drinking, with views across Stithians Reservoir creating a memorable setting throughout the warmer months. The established campsite offers 21 electric hook-up pitches with shower and toilet facilities. The site also benefits from parking for approximately 20 vehicles and a separate one-bedroom holiday cottage, providing additional flexibility and another valuable income stream.

The private accommodation provides comfortable living space for a Business Partner, comprising two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Well presented and practical, it offers an ideal home separate from the day-to-day running of the business.
