Queen's Hotel, St. Bees - St. Bees
About the Pub
The Queens Hotel is a characterful coastal inn located in the heart of St Bees, Cumbria. Positioned just a short stroll from both St Bees beach and the historic Priory, and only 40 metres from the railway station, this is a well-established destination pub with multiple income streams and significant future potential.
At the official starting point of Wainwright's famous Coast to Coast Walk, the Queens benefits from a steady flow of visitors throughout the walking season. Long-distance hikers, holidaymakers and touring groups make up a substantial part of the customer base, with the pub's 14 letting rooms frequently operating at or near capacity during the busiest months.
Inside, the pub combines traditional charm with versatile trading spaces. Guests can enjoy two bars, a welcoming breakfast room and a spacious conservatory that opens onto a terraced garden bar and attractive "secret garden" suntrap. During the winter months, oak beams and roaring log fires create a cosy atmosphere that appeals to locals and visitors alike.
The business currently generates around £15,000 per week in sales, with a balanced mix of wet, food and accommodation revenue, providing operators with the opportunity to maximise income from several established streams. The combination of pub trade, food and a strong rooms business creates a resilient and diverse operation. (Source: user-provided trading information.)
Adding further appeal, the pub is expected to benefit from investment works from autumn 2026 onwards, offering incoming partners the opportunity to be part of the next chapter for this well-known village destination. Investment plans remain subject to final scope and timings.
Private accommodation consists of a self-contained one-bedroom flat with kitchen and bathroom, alongside an additional two-bedroom basement apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom and private garden area.
This opportunity would suit an operator or partnership capable of balancing quality hospitality, food service and guest accommodation, while embracing the strong community and tourism markets that make St Bees such a unique location. What’s in it for you?
