Property details
Located in the charming village of Upwey, just a few miles from the vibrant seaside town of Weymouth, The Old Ship Inn is a traditional Dorset pub full of character and warmth. With its exposed beams, cosy corners, and welcoming atmosphere, this historic inn is a favourite with both locals and visitors exploring the nearby Jurassic Coast. Set near the River Wey and the famous Upwey Wishing Well, The Old Ship Inn offers a unique opportunity to run a thriving pub in a popular tourist area.
The pub features a well-appointed bar and multiple dining areas, with traditional interiors full of charm, including wood-burning stoves and rustic décor. There are three en-suite letting rooms, perfect for guests seeking a relaxing countryside getaway close to the coast. A planned investment (subject to approval) will see the creation of a fourth ensuite letting room and an additional dining space, increasing the pub’s capacity from 100 to an impressive 180 covers – making it ideal for larger events, group bookings, and seasonal trade.
Outside, the pub offers a generous garden space perfect for alfresco dining and summer events, along with parking for visitors.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a lounge – ideal for enjoying life in this scenic and friendly village.
