Property details
The Gainsborough is located in the stunning village of Milborne Port in South Somerset. Milborne Port is a large friendly village, close to the Dorset border, The village has all of the main services you would expect including a primary school, shops, doctors' surgery, post office, library, churches, playing areas, and a good range of societies and clubs. The Gainsborough stands alone on a large corner plot surrounded by houses just a short distance from the busy A30 High Street and has good on-street parking available.
Internally the pub is decorated to a good standard throughout and benefits from exceptionally flexible trading areas by way of some clever zoning. Some areas are suited to drinking, whilst others, relaxing and other areas are suited to eating, although all are flexible to suit the trading session. There is a separate breakfast room that serves the well-decorated and appointed popular letting rooms. The bar area is a warm and cosy social area, great for locals to catch up over a pint and a game of pool and darts. The bar area leads onto the bright airy front part of the building which benefits from dual aspect windows ideal for serving up the pub's traditional pub food menu. The third zone lends itself to a comfortable relaxing drink, ideal for the letting room customers seeking a relaxing drink after a long day sight-seeing or the weekday business overnighters catching up on some work.
There are three beautifully decorated en–suite letting rooms, two doubles and a twin which regularly had guests staying in them. They ranged from approximately £60 – £95 per night and had special deals on breakfasts and evening meals which were often enjoyed with high ratings on Trip Advisor and excellent reviews.
To the rear of the pub, there is a raised decked area seating in excess of 30, this leads onto the well-kept gardens which currently have seating for at least another 30.
The private accommodation consists of two bedrooms including a kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

Trading style
The Gainsborough is first and foremost a friendly traditional village pub, a meeting place for the village, and a home from home. A pub that is so comfortable, once you come in you don’t want to leave. The Gainsborough offers a fantastic range of drinks, traditional ales, continental Lagers, quality wines, and premium spirits, served in a relaxed environment. There is scope to further develop and market the food side of the business, there is an already famous Sunday carvery and daily breakfast club served from the breakfast room and all prepared in the well-fitted commercial trade kitchen.
The pub is earmarked for a generous investment (subject to Board Approval), and therefore, the potential of this multi-faceted pub would ideally be fully unlocked by an experienced licensee or couple who possess exceptional standards and an understanding of the key ingredients required to operate a quality friendly community country pub with multiple income streams. The ability to develop a strong online presence and drive the occupancy levels and room rates of the letting rooms as well as really driving the reputation of the food will be key to taking this stunning business to the next level.
The Letting rooms had excellent online reviews, and the pub can be a fantastic example of a well-loved business with a strong local following. The future is exciting and developing a well-received food trade will be critical. Developing further unique selling points, such as locally sourced meats will take the pub to the next level. The fantastic outside area has huge potential for summer events, and beer festivals and has the potential to be used for private and organised events and family occasions.
