A pub built in the 18th century has gone up for sale - and if you've got a cool £600,000 lying around in the bank, it could be yours. The Dolphin Inn is currently available for the six-figure sum after being run by the same family for 53 years. It can be found in the picturesque coastal location of Llanrhidian in the Gower, and is full of original features.
Staff from the pub announced on Facebook that it would remain closed permanently, and thanked customers for their support. It had closed in 2018, but then opened again under new owners before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Campaign group Swansea Camra began monitoring the situation last summer to prepare to save the pub if a change of use was proposed. You can read more about that by clicking here.
It is now being marketed by Fine & Country, which describes acquiring the pub as a "once in a lifetime opportunity". Outside, it boasts stunning views overlooking the medieval 13th century St Rhidian and St Illtyd’s church and Loughor Estuary in the distance. It currently has a bar area, living accommodation and an old stable, but its future could look quite different, as it has full approved planning to create four en-suite bed and breakfast rooms, two camping pods to the rear and a coffee shop with takeaway service in addition.
