Our commercial property team specialise in the leisure and hospitality sector, and are vastly experienced in dealing with sales and purchases of pubs, along with bars, restaurants, hotels, guest houses, cafes, and B&Bs.

The team is led by Nick Arthur, a well-known figure in the commercial property world in the south west.

One of Nick’s latest purchases is The Royal Oak Inn at Withypool, Somerset, which he acquired on behalf of its new owners.

It is a traditional Exmoor pub that dates back to the 18th century, and makes an ideal base from which to explore the Somerset countryside. The Royal Oak Inn serves food all day, and offers a superb Sunday roast. It also provides guest accommodation.

The pub is AA 4* rated, and has won many awards, including one from Tripadvisor, as well as being nominated for Best Destination Pub by Muddy Stilettos. It has also featured in best pub guides published by the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

Commenting on the acquisition, Nick Arthur said:

“It was a privilege to have been appointed to act in the purchase of The Royal Oak Inn, Withypool. I have every confidence that this wonderful pub will thrive in the hands of its new owners, and I wish them every success with their venture.”
