A family selling a historic Scottish country house hotel after 44 years said it is "grateful to have been caretakers" of the B-listed property.
Graham + Sibbald said the 14-bedroom baronial-style structure is a "truly special boutique destination hotel".
The hotel and leisure division of the property firm has brought Rosely Country House Hotel, Arbroath, to the market for sale.
Anna Maria Palmieri and family, the owners of Rosely Country House Hotel, said:Â "We will always be grateful to have been caretakers of the Rosely for the past 44 years.
"Decades of hard work have given us many long-lasting memories. As well as a business the hotel has been a very happy family home and we hope that the new owners have as much fun as we have."
Graham + Sibbald said the hotel is sited "on a picturesque four-acre plot, in the stunning Angus countryside" with "an abundance of period features and charm".
The agent said: "This is an incredible opportunity for a new occupier to purchase the hotel, which has been owned by the same family for the last 44 years, to create a truly special boutique destination hotel.
"The property offers an abundance of characterful public areas with an impressive lounge bar with separate events room, a charming dining room, a gentleman’s games room, a resident’s lounge and beautiful orangery."
It added: "The property could be invigorated to create an extravagant exclusive wedding venue or the new owner could build upon the food and beverage operation attracting custom from the Royal Marines Condor and Carnoustie golf course."
Peter Seymour, director at Graham + Sibbald, said:Â "We were delighted to bring to the market Rosely Country House Hotel. This iconic hotel has been owned by the same family for the last 40 years and as retirement nears they have left behind a fantastic property."
Graham + Sibbald is inviting offers in the region of £1.4m.
