Hotel & restaurant in Wales owned by renowned sculptor on the market

Created and owned by prominent artist Andrew Logan and Michael Davis, the Lion Hotel & Restaurant is a unique 17th-century boutique hotel with seven comfortable en suite bedrooms, nestled in the charming village of Berriew in Montgomeryshire.

Housed within a 400-year-old building with a stunning restored Jacobean exterior, the hotel and restaurant offers three dining areas: the Blue Restaurant and Red Room, which serve afternoon tea and dinner, and a traditional lounge perfect for relaxed drinks. Throughout, the property combines old-world charm and modern sophistication decorated with artworks and creating a lavish, welcoming environment. 

Above the dining spaces, there are seven individually designed, colourful en suite bedrooms, each featuring bespoke artworks by sculptor Andrew as well as modern, high-spec bathrooms. There is also two-bedroom manager’s accommodation.

Berriew has been crowned the winner of “Best Kept Village in Wales” several times and is a tourist destination, just four miles from the nearby town of Welshpool, close to the famous Powis Castle and surrounded by countryside and rural walks.

Andrew and Michael created the hotel and restaurant in 2018 and now wish to hand the reins over to a chef or restaurateur to take on this unique venture. The Lion has developed an established reputation as a special destination for high-quality food and service. The art hotel is a sister company to the thriving Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, also in the village, which attracts many return-visitors to Berriew throughout the year.

Michael and Andrew commented, “We created this wonderful jewel of an ‘Art Hotel’ in glorious Montgomeryshire in 2018, and after eight years we have decided to step away and offer a rare opportunity for an original chef/patron to make a name for themselves, be their own boss and to take the business forward to incredible new heights.”

James Dodd, Business Agent at Christie & Co, added, “We’re delighted to bring the Lion Hotel & restaurant to market. It’s a truly unique opportunity in the heart of mid-Wales, blending historic charm with striking contemporary design, and it offers a ready-made platform for a passionate chef or hospitality operator to create a destination venue. We’re confident it will attract strong interest from ambitious operators looking to make their mark in one of Wales’ most picturesque villages.”

The lease for the Lion Hotel is available with an annual rent asking price of £40,000.
