A spokesman for the pub said: "To all the Barley Mow fans, it’s changed hands and we are all excited to be reviving this wonderful country pub and its gardens.

"We are currently all working hard to get a reimagined Barley Mow re-open for you by early to mid-July."

In the coming weeks more details are set to be unveiled.

Customers who visited the country pub under the previous owners said they are excited for the reopening.

Margaret Law-Sampson said: "Exciting. I was a little sad when it closed as my husband and I had our first (and several subsequent) date there eight years ago. Looking forward to coming back once you're open again."

John Murphy said: "Glad it's reopening, not nice seeing it empty for such a long time. I will definitely be there."

The exact opening date has not yet been confirmed.
