A hotel described as a local “institution” has been put on the market.
The six-room hotel is in a tourist town along a road trip route with port links nearby and hundreds of years of history.
Graham + Sibbald is handling the sale of the Ruddicot Hotel which also has a bar and lounge.
“The Ruddicot Hotel is an institution in Stranraer which has been a community favourite for many decades,” the agent said.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to own a perfect owner-occupier business with great owner's accommodation in the popular tourist town of Stranraer.”
The agent also said: “The property itself sits on a prominent position, as you enter the town. The town is a well-established tourist location, known for its unmatchable scenery and links with the boat to Ireland.
“The town is also the main base for those doing the South West 300 road trip. The bar and lounge both offer seating for circa 30 covers with a further 30 standing room. The property also offers a large south west facing beer garden.”

David and Sarah Henry, the owners of the Ruddicot, said: “We have owned the Ruddicot Hotel for three years now and have been constantly striving to improve and upgrade the property. I think we have managed to bring it up to 21st century standards and build a great customer base. We have a young family and underestimated the commitment needed to keep a thriving business like this going in the correct direction, and with our current family we cannot give the business the full commitment it deserves."
Ruddicot Hotel is marketed at offers over £365,000.
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.
