12 Bedroom Hotel Restaurant And Bar In Dumfriesshire For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this 12-bedroom hotel, restaurant and bar, which was established in 1860 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1996. The hotel is only now offered to the market due to our clients' other business interests. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £230,000 per annum with a gross profit of 53%. The Nithsdale Hotel offers 12 guest bedrooms, bar and function room facilities, as well as a traditional pub menu. All the guest bedrooms have en-suite facilities and are fitted to a high standard and well-maintained. We feel the turnover could be further increased by introducing lunch time meals and perhaps from a modest marketing campaign advertising the function room further. The business has an excellent reputation and is highly regarded by previous guests with excellent reviews on 'Trip Advisor'. We have been advised that there are plans to build wind turbines close to the area, which will generate a lot of commercial trade. There is a website in place advertising the hotel and services provided. This is an ideal lifestyle change opportunity to acquire an already busy hotel with an enviable reputation and huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
