The owners of the 13th century coaching inn in Fifield, The Cotswold Merrymouth Inn, is looking for new buyers to take over part of the business.

It currently offers accommodation, from self-catering cottages, apartments and studios to traditional en-suite rooms, as well as a bar and restaurant.

But the current business, which has been welcoming guests since April 2021, is set to be split in two if a sale on the open market can be secured.

A listing on commercial sales site businessesforsale.com reveals the ‘freehouse’ part of the inn, the bar and restaurant, is being offered to new owners.

It advertises a section of the large building as a ‘character bar and two section restaurant’ which sits between 70 and 80 covers, with an asking price for the leasehold of £18,500.

It also includes a large trading patio, parking for guests and owners accommodation.

The sale comes after the full business, including the guest accommodation, was put on the market for a whopping £1.4million after a renovation in April 2024.

Free from listed building status and not in a conservation area, the 13th century building was free for owners to upgrade and refurbish, leading to revamped guest and owner’s accommodation, a refreshed bar area and enhanced kitchen facilities.

It is unknown if the pub and inn was sold on that occasion.
