This is the largest natural lake in South Wales and offers extensive leisure facilities for sailing and water sports, together with a large centre for adventure holidays.

TRADE AREAS
The Black Cock Inn is a centuries old character building with three interconnecting but distinct trade areas. There are two bars as well as a restaurant; each cater for drinkers and diners alike and are extremely well appointed, having been completely refurbished. This successfully provides a contemporary feel but also retains the innate character from which this building benefits.
The CENTRAL BAR AREAS have porcelain stone flagged floors throughout, fixed and loose upholstered traditional seating, heavily beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls on two sides, the rest being tongue and groove panelled. The room has a fireplace with exposed stone chimney breast which has a keystone arch over. There is a counter from the CENTRAL BAR SERVERY having pine panelled front, in a rustic style. This room seats 20+ customers. The SECOND BAR AREA is similarly appointed and also has a separate entrance vestibule. This is utilised more as the locals’ bar and has seating for a further 20. Again, having counter from central bar servery with matching panelled front and canopy over.
There is a quaint RESTAURANT with ‘black and tan’ quarry tiled floor, feature fireplace with marble mantlepiece and cast iron back fitting with enamel tile insets. Once again, there is fixed pew style wall seating and loose emulsioned Mates style chairs currently arranged for 16 – 18 diners. From the side entrance hallway are LADIES’ and GENTLEMEN’S TOILETS.
To the rear of the trading areas, which are easily accessed from both the servery and the restaurant, is the CATERING KITCHEN which has fully tiled walls, nonslip flooring, ceiling fitted extraction canopy and a range of stainless steel catering effects and work surfaces. FRIDGE/FREEZER/WASH-UP AREA having direct access to the bar servery.

The Business
The property has been in our client’s hands for 20 years and it is being sold due to their wish to retire. Over recent years the property has been very much operated on relatively limited hours but still has an extremely healthy level of turnover, well in excess of the VAT threshold. Trade is split 70% food sales and 30% wet sales and shows an extremely high percentage net profit.
Despite the relative success of this property, there is clearly scope for further development by increasing the opening hours and also by the creation of two letting bedrooms, with such facilities being in high demand within this area due to its proximity not just to the Brecon Beacons but to other tourist attractions nearby, most pertinently Llangorse Lake.
