A thriving country inn located in Dumfries and Galloway has been put for sale, as its owners seek to exit after 10 years in charge.
The award-winning Clachan Inn, based in the small village of St John’s Town of Dalry, is “extremely popular” among locals and visitors to the area, on account of its fresh food, real ales, and luxury accommodation.
It has come on to the market following significant investment in the property over the years, which selling agent Christie & Co says will allow a new owner to “grow an already successful turnkey business”.

Owner Laura Burnie said: “We have been welcomed and supported by an amazing community in our time here at The Clachan.
"We have enjoyed developing both the business and building over the last 10 years and, while it’s a difficult decision to move on, we are proud to be able to pass on a thriving business to potential new owners.”

Tony Spence, associate Director at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a well-trading, owner-operated business located in St John’s Town of Dalry and just on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park.
"Our clients have owned the business for over ten years and are now looking to exit to relocate and travel.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
