Location

Wellington is situated in beautiful rolling Herefordshire countryside and is a very popular residential village with a large number of good quality private homes and an active local community. In recent years there has been considerable residential development and this is ongoing. It is situated just off the A49 Ross on Wye to Shrewsbury trunk road, some 5 miles north of Hereford, 7 Leominster, and with easy access to the A417 to Gloucester and A44 to Worcester. The Old Boot is the only pub in the village and is centrally located in a position to attract both local and drive out destination trade. 

Despite this pub having been closed for almost four years, it still remains furnished and in good condition under the circumstances. With decoration and a thorough clean it could be ready to operate at relatively short notice. It has extensive trading facilities both internally and externally, and generous owners accommodation. The property is also located in one of the most select and sought after residential villages in the whole of Herefordshire. It is a business which is worthy of an early inspection.
