The Buccleuch Arms boasts 19 ensuite bedrooms, as well as a bar and bistro, large private garden, boardroom/private dining room and function room. The business has won the Scottish ‘Inn of the Year’ Award four times and benefits from strong footfall and loyalty from the local community, as well as travelling business and leisure guests.
The Inn is located in a prominent position in the village, fronting onto the A68 and within easy each of Melrose to the north.
The current owner Billy Hamilton has operated and managed the Buccleuch Arms since 2003, building a solid reputation for quality local and seasonal food, and a warm, welcoming modern country pub atmosphere. Having managed the business for more than 20 years Billy has decided to retire and focus on other business interests, with the inn available to acquire in turnkey condition.
Gary Witham, Director – Hotels at Christie & Co, is managing the sale and said, “This prominent hotel is at the heart of St Boswells and has not been available on the open market for over 40 years. The business offers a great mix of rooms and stylish bar/restaurant ready for a new owner to succeed on day one.”
The Buccleuch Arms is on the market with a freehold asking price of offers in the region of £1,300,000.
