Property details
The Dawnay Arms is nestled in the heart of a vibrant North Yorkshire village, Shipton by Beningbrough, is perfectly situated to make your business thrive. Positioned on the A19, just six miles from the historic city of York and a stone’s throw from the market town of Thirsk, the pub benefits from excellent visibility and access. Surrounded by picturesque countryside and a cluster of caravan parks, it draws steady footfall, especially in the warmer months when tourists and day-trippers are eager for a pint and a plate.
The pub already enjoys a stellar reputation for food, with Sunday Lunch being a weekly pilgrimage for locals and visitors alike. With your vision and energy, there’s room to elevate the menu, expand offerings, and turn this into a destination for food lovers from Thirsk to York.
As you enter, there’s a welcoming bar servery, where locals gather and stories flow as freely as the ale. To your right, a bustling restaurant area awaits, perfect for sharing your culinary creativity. To the left, a cosy, intimate dining space offers a quieter retreat for couples and small groups. And tucked away at the back? A snug lounge where familiar faces return day after day, making it the unofficial living room of the village.
Step outside and discover the crown jewel: a beautifully appointed beer garden. With space for alfresco dining, summer drinks, and larger community events, this garden is ripe for transformation into a seasonal hotspot. Think live music, garden feasts, and family-friendly festivals.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge area.
