A POPULAR pub and restaurant located in the highest village in Mid Wales is up for sale after the owners announced plans to retire.

The Bluebell Inn, in Llangurig, has been put on the market with a guide price of £395,000.

The owners say their decision to sell is motivated by their intention to retire from the hospitality business.

The 16th Century inn has a public bar, restaurant, breakfast room, games room and nine bedrooms.

Estate agents Claire Evans & Co said: “The property is at the centre of the community and is well supported by locals as well as trade from ramblers, cyclists, motorbike riders, horse riders, rally enthusiasts (Sweet Lamb complex used in the RAC is within a few miles) fisherman as well as tour buses given the large parking area to the rear as well as the space for a bus to park opposite the pub.

“The Inn is ideally located close to the popular market towns of Llanidloes and Rhayader, and the stunning scenery of the Elan Valley Lakes and Reservoirs and the popular Hafren Forest.

“The Bluebell Inn is a popular venue for locals and visitors alike and offers great scope for further development. This is an ideal commercial opportunity.”
