The beloved Tiger Inn in the leafy village of Coneythorpe bounced back from both Covid and a major blaze in the kitchen in November 2020 before being hit by another smaller fire in August 2023 which led to its closure.

A former Harrogate Pub of the Year winner, the freehold of this traditional brick-built inn set in a picture postcard location four miles from Knaresborough is being marketed by leisure property specialists Fleurets and is available to purchase at £495,000.

According to Fleurets, the Tiger Inn has been “superbly successfully in recent years with turnover in the region of £900,000 based on a strong food offer”.

Run for many years by experienced publicans Ian and Barbara Gill, the landlord has undertaken work to make good the damage caused by the fires, with the kitchen now ready to be fitted out.

Fleurets director Simon Hall said: “This delightful village inn has been a very successful destination food led business for many years.
