Property details
The Royal Oak is located in the historic market town of Kington, Herefordshire, just 2 miles from the Welsh border. Despite sitting west of Offa’s Dyke, the town has been part of England for over a thousand years. Nestled beneath the scenic Hergest Ridge, Kington is a popular destination for walkers and tourists. The town itself has a population of around 3,500 and is well connected to nearby towns, including Presteigne, Builth Wells, Knighton, and Leominster. The Royal Oak sits just 200 yards from the town centre in a predominantly residential area, offering both local trade and passing custom. Good transport links make the pub accessible, with regular bus services connecting Kington to Hereford, Leominster, and surrounding towns, while Leominster railway station provides mainline rail connections further afield.
The pub offers a welcoming main bar, a cosy snug, and a dedicated dining area, which also lends itself well to hosting functions. A fully equipped catering kitchen supports the operation. The property also boasts three en-suite letting rooms. With the right investment, these rooms present a fantastic opportunity to attract tourists, walkers, and commuters alike.
Outside, a spacious enclosed garden provides an excellent draw for locals and visiting walkers.
The private accommodation consists of two large double bedrooms, a lounge, a bathroom, and a separate WC.

Trading style
The Royal Oak has a strong foundation as a well-loved local pub, with clear potential to extend its reach into surrounding villages and towns. By introducing a compelling food offer, the pub can attract a wider customer base and encourage repeat visits. The area is a popular destination for walkers and tourists, with Hergest Ridge and other renowned walking routes bringing steady footfall. Historically, the site has traded well on food, highlighting this as a prime opportunity for growth once again. In addition, team sports and entertainment have both been successful drivers of trade in the past, and they remain key areas to develop further to strengthen the Royal Oak’s position at the heart of its community and beyond.
This site would ideally suit a licensee with experience of village and community life. Background in catering and accommodation would be a significant advantage in unlocking the pub’s full trading potential. The Royal Oak offers an excellent opportunity for growth across all aspects of trade, while also allowing the right licensees to become an integral part of a welcoming, close-knit community in a charming and historic rural setting.
