Wadworth

Wadworth pubs are located in the South of England, in areas including Oxford, Wiltshire, Somerset, Gloucester and Hampshire. We've been working with Wadworth for some time, producing virtual tours and also producing and hosting websites for many of their pubs.

Potential tenants can view properties for lease on the Wadworth website. Some, like Steph Carr and Sam Liverton, current managers of the Old Ham Tree in Holt, Wiltshire, use the tour to help decide how suitable it is for them.

Steph explained, "We began with the Wadworth's website, viewing the details of a lot of different pubs all over the country.  The Old Ham Tree in Wiltshire stood out as it was one of just a few at the time which had a virtual tour. It was easy to see straight away that the building had the makings of what we were looking for.  

"The tour really helped and we used it loads, working out everything from our computer screens.  As we were living in Sussex and Cardiff before we moved in, it also meant we didn't have to keep driving long distances to visit."

Since taking over the tenancy last year, Steph and her partner have redecorated the building. As it looks quite different to the original tour, they decided to have an updated version produced, extending it to include new guest room and bathroom facilities upstairs.

"We really want to continue to make the most of online opportunities," said Steph, "as everyone is using the internet, Facebook, Twitter, and so on. Having a Business View tour is great way of reaching out to potential customers.  People always like to see pictures."
