Property details
The Hare & Hounds is a charming and historic 17th-century coaching inn located in the picturesque hamlet of Bowland Bridge, just a few miles east of Lake Windermere and around 10 miles from Grange-over-Sands. Steeped in history, the pub has evolved from its coaching inn roots into a beloved locals' pub, and, in the 1990s, was thoughtfully expanded into a hotel, pub, and restaurant. Today, The Hare & Hounds enjoys an award-winning reputation for delivering exceptional food, a welcoming atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. It features five beautifully appointed letting rooms, making it a sought-after destination for both visitors and locals alike. Set in the tranquil Lake District countryside, Bowland Bridge is accessible via scenic local roads off the A6 and A590, with convenient motorway connections via the M6 and M65. Public transport links include a regular bus service through the hamlet and the nearest train station at Windermere, just 5 miles away.
On entering this charming pub, to the left you are welcomed with a comfy snug with cosy fixtures and fittings, complete with an open fireplace which is exceptionally popular on the cooler days, and this area is serviced by the delightful bar slightly to the right. To the right-hand side, you will find the dining area, a mixture of traditional seating, quirky furnishings, all beautifully decorated, with enough space for around 50 diners. Directly in front of you when entering the pub is access to the wonderful letting rooms located on the first floor.
There is a patio to the front of the pub with four tables, and to the right-hand side there is a fantastic beer garden with dramatic and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. There is an outside bar serving the beer garden, which has enough space for a further 50 covers
There is no private accommodation on this site.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Hare & Hounds is the definition of a Country Inn, with its exceptional location, beautiful letting rooms, traditional drinking area and fantastic premium food offer. The trade here is currently a 70/30 split towards the food side of the business. The five beautiful letting rooms provide a significant amount of additional income to the pub. They’re in great condition and get rave reviews, providing a perfect stay for customers.
The landlords are looking for an experienced operator with experience and knowledge of running a successful pub, having high-standard letting rooms along with a great food offer. This individual or couple must be willing to embed themselves within the community and support locals, as well as championing marketing and social media to attract tourists. This is a rare opportunity for someone to take on a pub with this level of untouched revenue and must be able to produce a flawless business plan to unlock the potential of this gem. A higher level of funding will be required, given the number of income streams the Hare & Hounds has to offer. There is also a free-of-tie option available.
