Property details
The Foresters Arms is a rural, village pub in the heart of the Dales community. At over 300 years old it is in an idyllic location situated on the main road through Carlton running up through Coverdale. The pub nestles in the centre of the village of Carlton, a part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Coverdale, known by the late James Herriot as the 'forgotten Dale', is a most beautiful Dale and a popular area for tourists, particularly walkers, and cyclists. The Dale still has its roots firmly in agriculture and country pursuits.
Upon entering the building through the stone porch you walk into a cosy stone-flagged bar with a warm and welcoming open log fire. To the left, you enter the snug, where many a family has settled down to a relaxing Sunday lunch or evening meal with friends. The restaurant is at the other end of the bar where people can eat in relaxed surroundings. The Pub has a capacity for fifty-plus covers.
Above the restaurant, there are three en-suite letting rooms where guests staying at the pub can retire having enjoyed a pleasant evening meal and a drink with the locals.
The pub has self-contained accommodation for the tenants, which includes a private kitchen, spacious sitting room, bathroom, and two bedrooms.

The Foresters Arms is a lovely traditional stone-built pub in the stunning Yorkshire Dales with cosy fires, a traditional bar area, a restaurant, and a snug. It supports, darts, dominoes, and other groups as well as local shoots. It is in a tourist area, which attracts holidaymakers and visitors. It has a year-round appeal for outdoor enthusiasts (hikers, cyclists, etc). The many, local holiday cottages ensure regular turnover of customers.
The pub is owned and enthusiastically supported by the local community. It is not tied to a brewery and can source from various local suppliers, neither is it tied to any form of agreement linked to sales.
Success at the Foresters Arms is about making it the hub of the community. It is about building a reputation for good beer, good food, regular activities, warm and friendly service, consistency, and having a genuine passion for the hospitality business. It is important to be flexible, balancing the needs of a mix of customers, including locals, holidaymakers, and passing trade.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic tenant to take on and grow an already thriving hospitality business. They need to demonstrate the ability, experience, and business acumen to run a successful public house. This is an ideal vacancy for a tenant who understands the ethos of a community-owned pub and aspires to be part of the community. They should have vision, drive, and ambition. They should also be keen to provide seasonal events and regular functions to drive performance and maintain the pub's popularity.
Key skills include, but are not limited to:
- Management or supervisory experience and be able to demonstrate necessary people skills.
- Ability to effectively manage a cellar to maintain stock and quality.
- Understanding of the importance of the food offer and management of the kitchen and understanding how integral these are to the success of the business.
- Experience in running and managing letting rooms would be an advantage.
