Property details
The Samson and Lion is located in a fantastic position sitting on the Stourbridge canal in the village of Wordsley. Wordsley lies in the far south of the historic boundaries of Staffordshire and neighbouring Amblecote, it is one of several villages just north of the River Stour that forms the historic border with the county of Worcestershire to the South. There are plenty of local amenities in Wordsley making it a great place to live and a popular stop-off point for people enjoying a trip on the canals, it also has an unusually large number of artistic groups operating in the music, theatre and arts sectors. The Samson and Lion caters to most tastes and is in a prime position on the popular cycle route from Kinver to Brierley Hill as well as the canal.
Upon entering, to the right, you will find the main lounge which leads through to a raised seating area suitable for a relaxing drink or dining with its own toilet facilities. This area is currently utilised as the Sunday Carvery area. Just off here is where the trade kitchen is located. Carry on past the bar and this leads out to the amazing, canal-side beer garden. From the main entrance to the left, you enter the bar area which has a mixture of fixed and loose seating, a pool table, a jukebox, and a darts area to the rear as well as the WC facilities. There is one main central servery which services both the lounge and bar. The hidden gem here is the separate function room located below the pub..that's right below..... This can be accessed (by staff) through the bar and through the cellar and customers have an entrance via the beer garden. The function room is spacious and has its own bar and toilet facilities perfect for parties and other functions.
Outside there is a canal-side patio area, which is a great place to have a few drinks during the spring and summer months, especially popular with families and locals as well as walkers, cyclists, and tourists. The carpark is located to the left of the pub.
The private accommodation is of great size with three large bedrooms, a lounge/sitting room, bathroom and WC, and a large family kitchen/diner area.
