“Highest pub in Wales” up for sale for £600k

A coaching inn located on the Denbigh Moors between Denbigh and Pentrefoelas has been put up for sale with a guide price of £600,000 after closing in October 2021. The Sportsmans Arms (Tafarn yr Heliwr) dates back to the 17th century and, at 1,430 ft above sea level, is reported to be the highest pub in Wales.

The pub comprises a main lounge bar with fire grate, wood panelling and an archway leading to the adjoining lounge bar, which features a brick fireplace, hearth and beamed ceiling and offers far-reaching views towards Llyn Brenig and the Berwyn Mountains. There is a lounge dining area to the front of the inn, also with an out-built fireplace, beamed ceiling and south-westerly views, as well as a public bar. In addition, the pub features a lobby and kitchen and preparation room.

The pub also comes with five bedrooms on the first floor and a self-contained annexe with three further bedrooms, which could serve as either a holiday let or as owner accommodation, and extensive parking. Cavendish Estate Agents, who are leading the sale, added that the property also includes a rear yard, outbuildings and a large rear paddock, which the agent says offers potential for development into a glamping site.

The pub is vacant following its closure in October and is being offered for sale on a freehold basis. In its listing, Cavendish Estate Agents called the site: “An iconic coaching inn dating from the 17th century in a very prominent position on the Denbigh Moors between Denbigh and the A5 at Pentrefoelas.”

The listing continued: "The Sportsmans Arms is a very well known Inn to many, standing on a well known tourist route into the heart of North Wales towards Betws-y-Coed, and also the nearby Brenig and Alwen Reservoirs noted for numerous country walks, cycle tracks and renowned fishing in the Brenig. The building is vacant and offered for sale freehold and free of any tie."
