A 10-bedroom hotel in Castle Douglas has been put up for sale, with offers around £525,000 sought.
The Kings Arms Hotel is described by Graham + Sibbald, which has been appointed to market the property, as “an ideal hotel business for new entries to the licensed trade or experienced operators”.
Graham + Sibbald said: “The hotel is a town centre establishment which welcomes tourists and locals alike. Set in the picturesque region of Dumfries and Galloway, the hotel also hosts a year-round trade of golfers, bikers, cyclists, hikers and sightseers keen to take advantage of the area's outstanding natural beauty - where the next national park may be located.”
