A Rare Opportunity to Run a Destination Pub, Campsite & Holiday Business in the heart of Cornwall.
Surrounded by countryside yet centrally located for both Cornwall's north and south coasts, the Golden Lion attracts walkers, cyclists, watersports enthusiasts, campers, holidaymakers and residents alike. For an ambitious Business Partner, this is an opportunity to operate a thriving destination venue while continuing to develop its already strong reputation.
The Golden Lion enjoys an enviable setting surrounded by open countryside and outdoor adventure.
The reservoir is a popular destination for sailing, paddleboarding, fishing, walking and cycling, attracting visitors throughout the year. Its central location also places both Cornwall's north and south coasts within approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The combination of local trade and year-round tourism provides a broad and varied customer base.
The Golden Lion is a spacious and welcoming country inn offering approximately 90 covers across flexible bar and restaurant areas. The layout comfortably caters for everything from relaxed drinks and family meals to larger gatherings, while a wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point during the cooler months. A well-equipped commercial kitchen supports the established food offer and provides plenty of scope for an operator to continue developing the food business.
The landscaped gardens provide attractive spaces for alfresco dining and drinking, with views across Stithians Reservoir creating a memorable setting throughout the warmer months. The established campsite offers 21 electric hook-up pitches with shower and toilet facilities. The site also benefits from parking for approximately 20 vehicles and a separate one-bedroom holiday cottage, providing additional flexibility and another valuable income stream.
The private accommodation provides comfortable living space for a Business Partner, comprising two double bedrooms, one single bedroom, a kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Well presented and practical, it offers an ideal home separate from the day-to-day running of the business.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
Set beside the stunning Stithians Reservoir in the heart of Cornwall. The Golden Lion Inn & Camping offers far more than a traditional pub. Combining a successful food-led business with an established campsite and holiday cottage, this is a diverse hospitality business with multiple revenue streams and year-round appeal.
The Golden Lion already benefits from a strong mix of food and drink trade, complemented by its established campsite and separate holiday cottage. These additional income streams create a resilient business with excellent growth opportunities.
There is real potential to build on the pub's reputation by developing seasonal events, making more of the outdoor spaces and creating partnerships with local attractions and activity providers. This is an opportunity to shape a destination that people actively choose to visit.
The Golden Lion is ideally suited to someone who enjoys operating a varied hospitality business and can make the most of everything the site has to offer.
Experience in food will be an advantage, alongside an understanding of seasonal trading and the ability to maximise the opportunities. An operator with energy, creativity and strong organisational skills will be well placed to develop events, enhance the customer experience and build on the pub's excellent reputation.
This is a rare opportunity to run a pub that combines hospitality, tourism and outdoor leisure.
