Dumfriesshire - 8 Bedroom Guesthouse With Bar And Restaurant

The Village Inn and Kirtle House B&B is situated in the village of Kirtlebridge in Dumfries and Galloway, southern Scotland. It is located 5 miles north-east of Annan, 3.1 miles north-west of Kirkpatrick-Fleming and less than a mile south of Eaglesfield. The village is located where the A74(M) motorway and the West Coast Main Line railway cross the Kirtle Water.

Local attractions include the Breaconbeds Equestrian Centre & Stables, Bonshaw Tower castle and wedding venue and the Annandale Distillery and whisky shop. The nearby town of Annan provides a wider selection of shopping outlets and food stores.

The Village Inn and Kirtle House B&B occupies a two storey, detached and rendered brick building under a pitched slate roof. The property benefits from being the main amenity and the only licensed bar or restaurant in the village.

Our client has owned and operated The Village Inn and Kirtle House B&B since March 2001. Since their time with the property, they have transformed a tired public house with rooms into a well- regarded guesthouse which benefits from plenty of repeat trade. The business is currently operated solely by our client, who now wishes to offer the property to the market in order to retire.

The business welcomes a variety of guests including families, holidaymakers, fishermen, business professionals, backpackers, those travelling on business and others needing stopover accommodation when driving between England and Scotland on long haul trips. The property offers masses of potential for a new operator: an evening menu could be introduced and trade could be improved further by increasing advertising efforts.

The premises are currently operated as a lifestyle business and, as such, we believe this opportunity to be ideal for a purchaser looking for the same. Alternatively, the premises could suit conversion into a destination, food-led venue due to its commercial kitchen and plethora of on-site parking. Accounting detail will be made available to serious parties following a formal viewing.

Mains electricity, water and drainage are connected.
Oil fired central heating.
LPG and electricity for cooking.
The property also benefits from a fire alarm.
