A stunning and award-winning Welsh tearoom, Tu Hwnt l’r Bont in Llanrwst, north Wales, is now on the market for sale. This iconic tearoom, located along the Afon Conwy in Llanrwst, is famously draped in ivy and is a popular spot for tourists and photographers. Originally built around 1480, the building has a rich history as a farmhouse and later as the town’s courthouse. After falling into disrepair, the community rallied together to fund its renovation, leading to its acquisition by the National Trust. For over 50 years, Tu Hwnt l’r Bont has charmed visitors as a beloved tearoom.
Under the stewardship of Tim Maddox for nearly two decades, the tearoom recently changed hands to Parisella’s, a cafe and ice cream brand. Now, the property is being offered for sale once again through St Davids Commercial. The listing agent, Colin Flannigan, describes the opportunity as remarkable, highlighting the building’s unique character and successful business history. Priced at £195,000 with an annual rent of £8,750, the lease includes a 25-year term from March 25, 2023, with a five-year rent review clause. Maintenance responsibilities for the roof and external walls fall upon the landlords.
The enchanting tearoom has garnered international recognition, appearing on the front covers of The Lonely Planet Wales Travel Guide and the Beano comic. As an award-winning family-run business, Tu Hwnt l’r Bont is a must-see attraction in the Eryri National Park, drawing visitors from around the world. With immense potential for business expansion and increased turnover, this sale presents a unique investment opportunity for prospective buyers interested in owning a piece of Welsh heritage.
