The Lion Hotel & Restaurant in Berriew, near Welshpool, has been put on the market by specialist business property advisor Christine & Co.
The business is a boutique hotel with seven bedrooms, created and owned by artist Andrew Logan alongside Michael Davis, and housed within a 400-year-old building with a restored Jacobean exterior.
Andrew and Michael founded the restaurant in 2018 and explained they put it on the market as they are looking for a chef or restaurateur to take the reins of the business
They said: “We created this wonderful jewel of an ‘Art Hotel’ in glorious Montgomeryshire in 2018, and after eight years we have decided to step away and offer a rare opportunity for an original chef/patron to make a name for themselves, be their own boss and to take the business forward to incredible new heights.”

The hotel and restaurant offers three dining areas: the Blue Restaurant and Red Room, which serve afternoon tea and dinner, and a traditional lounge.
Above the dining spaces, there are seven individually designed, en-suite bedrooms, each featuring artworks by sculptor Andrew as well as modern bathrooms. There is also a two-bedroom manager’s accommodation.
The art hotel is a sister company to the Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture, also in the village, which attracts visitors throughout the year.
James Dodd, business agent at Christie & Co, added, “We’re delighted to bring the Lion Hotel & Restaurant to market.
“It’s a truly unique opportunity in the heart of mid-Wales, blending historic charm with striking contemporary design, and it offers a ready-made platform for a passionate chef or hospitality operator to create a destination venue.
“We’re confident it will attract strong interest from ambitious operators looking to make their mark in one of Wales’ most picturesque villages.”
The lease for the Lion Hotel is available with an annual rent asking price of £40,000.
