Unviable West Norfolk village pub set for new lease of life Published: 07:00, 20 February 2021
A Fenland village pub that was losing money before the pandemic hit last year looks set to remain permanently closed and given a new lease of life as a holiday let.
Christopher Robinson and James Brighty who own the Five Bells in Upwell are looking to West Norfolk Borough Council for planning permission to formalise the historic building s use as a holiday let for up to 20 people.
It was used as such last summer, while holidays were still permissable under the covid rules, and the owners say it proved a hit with people wanting to stay there.
