A SCOTTISH hotel which has been owned by the same family for more than 60 years has been put up for sale at offers over £2.25 million.
The 12-bedroom Nether Abbey Hotel in North Berwick is being sold on behalf of Stirling and Jela Stewart “as they plan and look forward to their retirement from the hotel trade”, property agent Graham + Sibbald said.
The agent declared the four-star boutique hotel is “in the heart of Scotland’s golf coast, East Lothian”.

Alistair Letham, a hotel and leisure consultant at Graham + Sibbald, said: “The sale of the Nether Abbey Hotel provides a wonderful opportunity to buy [a] quality four-star hotel business in a sought-after location, with an impressive established local, national and international client base. The Nether Abbey Hotel is truly…a turnkey, walk-in property and business.”
Graham + Sibbald said: “The Nether Abbey Hotel is being sold by Stirling and Jela Stewart, as they plan and look forward to their retirement from the hotel trade. They have built up a fantastic reputation for the business over the years. Based on reviews of travellers, the Nether Abbey Hotel is ranked in the top 3% of properties on the KAYAK travel search platform - a remarkable achievement which speaks volumes about the quality of the establishment.”
