Innenräume

A traditional pub with a lot of character offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bar (20), lounge (18) has a mixture of seating, and the restaurant seats 30. The business model changed significantly as a result of the pandemic. The Board Inn operated a small bar/dining room (20 covers), with the former restaurant and letting bedrooms being separated off to create a self-contained holiday let with private bar/dining room and lounge, with six bedrooms, four of which are ensuite, two with private bathrooms and their own lounge. Now that the pandemic is behind us, the owners have reverted to type and operate the pub-restaurant with five letting bedrooms and is trading very well. The business having performed well under both operating models demonstrates its versatility and resilience to challenging market conditions.
