An idyllic country village pub close to Bristol has been put on the market for the first time since 1995.
The current owners of The Major’s Retreat at Tormarton are retiring and the freehold of the detached stone-built pub is up for sale for the first time in 27 years.
Approximately 14 miles north east of Bristol and just north of the M4 motorway close to junction 18, the tucked away rural pub is close to Yate and Chipping Sodbury.

The Major's Retreat is also easily accessible for visitors to Bath, Westonbirt and other Cotswold villages. It is also close to the Badminton Estate, home to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort.
Located in the centre of the peaceful South Gloucestershire village, The Major's Retreat has a bar, restaurant and function rooms with extensive first floor private accommodation and three external letting rooms.
Property agents Fleurets say the opportunity exists to ‘substantially improve the Major’s Retreat with investment to enable it to become a well-known destination public house’.
The main bar/restaurant currently has space for around 42 covers and there are original features such as a fireplace and beams. The wood-panelled restaurant has space for additional 36 covers. The pub’s function room is currently not in use but offers excellent trading potential.
This rare opportunity to buy the freehold of a country pub close to Bristol and the Cotswolds is expected to attract a lot of interest, according to Chris Irving of Fleurets.
He said: "We have recently commenced marketing and have received strong interest with two viewing sessions arranged.
“Whilst the Major's Retreat requires refurbishment, it is well known and prospective purchasers can clearly see the trading potential.”
The pub is being marketed without a guide price and offers are invited.
