About the Pub
Escape to the country? Looking for a quiet, rural village with no visitors? Then stop reading now. If you are after a beautiful pub, in a fabulous location with plenty of passing trade then read on… Many people have a dream to escape the drudge of city living but find the countryside a little too quiet for comfort. The Plough at Holford offers the best of both worlds. Set in the Quantock Hills, one of the south wests’ prestigious Areas of Natural Beauty, the pub is just a couple of miles from the stunning Somerset coastline. Situated directly on the A39, there is ample passing trade all year around and the Plough is a firm favourite with the locals. The pub is in excellent order throughout its’ three trading areas which consist of a locals bar, a dining area and a recently added orangery that seats 35 people. The pub is decorated tastefully throughout and comprises a mixture of loose and fixed seating that can be re-arranged should the new publican wish. The décor creates a warm and cosy atmosphere throughout, with exposed beams, wooden seating and an open fireplace in the diner. There is a well-equipped commercial kitchen that is situated just behind the main bar servery. Throughout the pub there is old photos and interesting features that date back to the pubs’ late history, from around 1555. To the rear of the property is a stunning courtyard style garden that the current publicans have worked tirelessly to create and is a wonderful suntrap during the summer season. On the opposite side of the lane, there is a large car park that can hold approximately 25 vehicles. Regional Manager's Thoughts The current publicans will leave a strong legacy for you to build on. This is a beautiful pub set in an amazing part of the south west. There is plenty to do locally when you get some down time and the wider residential area really value this pub as a hub of their community gatherings. Surrounding Area Lying equidistant between Minehead & Bridgwater, Holford is a lovely, picturesque village on the edge of the Quantocks. It is surrounded by beautiful Combes (a narrow, deep valley) with wonderful names like Butterfly combe and Ladies combe, in the middle there is Holford Glen, once the home of a Huguenot silk factory. The village is steeped in history and the area is extremely popular with walkers & cyclists. Just two miles to the north of the village you can find Kilve Beach, famed for being the Jurassic coast on the Bristol Channel. Kilve is a perfect location for discovering ammonites and reptile remains.Job tags
