I always used to pop in when I was anywhere near Bishops Castle and ended up preferring the Six Bells to the Three Tuns but I don't think I could get a £300,000 purchase past the missus even though she likes my beer
I'm seeing fewer pubs close around here than did a few years back. Is not an easy life running a pub so the "other interests to pursue" might just mean we're sick of it!
Good luck to them.
Its not 100% clear what is being sold though. The article states that its the business which is on the market so it might just be a term of a lease (with rent to pay), equipment, fixtures and fittings and the good will of a profitable business.
