    The town of Merthyr Tydfil is located in south Wales on the southern boundary of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, one of Britain’s most outstanding wildernesses. The area attracts a huge number of visitors throughout the year who enjoy the beautiful scenery, along with numerous outdoor pursuits and sports; some of the most popular being walking, road biking, riding, and especially mountain biking as it is the home of BikePark Wales, one of the best mountain bike faculties in Britain.

    The town has a proud industrial heritage, once being the largest town in Wales, famed for its iron and coal. In recent years, it has become home to part of the Welsh Government and the town centre and surrounding area have been heavily invested in.

    The subject premises is located in the town centre, at the heart of the leisure and retail sector, and perfectly placed to take advantage of its local population and those visiting the town.

    The Property
    The Tiger Inn is a substantial, semi-detached property which appears to be constructed in the main of stone and brick with rendered and colourwashed elevations under a pitched slate roof. It offers accommodation over three floors. It has been invested in by the current owner, but there is scope for further development of the first floor to provide further letting accommodation and/or private accommodation.

    It operates as a coaching inn/small family hotel with seven well-appointed en suite letting bedrooms, lounge bar/dining room and trade garden. It is presented in good order and briefly comprises the following:

    The Business

    The business trades as a coaching inn/hotel with a strong emphasis on the accommodation, but it also provides two very good trading rooms that operate a food-led business that is well-regarded for its home cooked food, teas, coffees, cakes, brunch, and especially afternoon teas.

    The business trades seven days a week during the summer but closes on Monday and Tuesday during the winter.

    The bedrooms are offered at a tariff of £85 for the double/bunk and £95 for the king size rooms. Breakfast can be purchased in addition.

    Since purchasing the business, the current owner has always operated it under management as they live in another part of the country. There is undoubted scope to drive the business forward if taken on by a more local owner.
