Location:

The Old White Lion Hotel is an extremely well located and longestablished hotel bar and restaurant, set in a prominent position at the top of the main street in the perennially popular tourist village of Haworth.

Nestled in the breath-taking countryside of West Yorkshire, the village of Haworth is a true gem in the heart of Brontë Country. Known for its rich literary heritage, the picturesque village boasts not only stunning natural beauty and outstanding views but also provides a charming high street, shops, tearooms, pubs and of course the world famous Brontë Parsonage Museum, a focal point of the village which preserves the literary legacy of the famous Brontë sisters and brings thousands of tourists into the village every year. The village's location on the edge of the Pennines also makes it an excellent starting point for exploring the stunning natural beauty of the Moors and beyond.

Property:

The Old White Lion Hotel is an impressive 300 year old coaching inn of traditional stone construction under pitched tile covered roofs with accommodation arranged on ground and first floors with 2 large basements. Historically, the property has been amalgamated from separate properties but in its current configuration the internal workings of the hotel have been skilfully blended. The majority of the property’s windows are either double or triple glazed and the property in general has been extremely well maintained under the current ownership.

Public Areas:

The hotel is accessed from its prominent front entrance at the head of the high street, straight into the main lobby with reception and access to the rest of the substantial property. The atmospheric main restaurant area is to the left of the reception and offers around 35 covers. In its current trading style, the owner only uses this area for breakfast, but it offers an excellent opportunity to grow dinner and lunch trade. To the right of the entrance is a cosy resident’s lounge overlooking the high street for around 10 and could be ideal for a private dining room. Past this is access to the main bar areas which comprise traditionally decorated front lounge (35) and rear bar lounge (50) with both provided access to the central bar.
