A historic hotel described as "one of the finest village inns in the area" has been sold.
The "well-established and presented" hotel has 11 ensuite rooms, a public bar, lounge bar and restaurant and was once a coaching inn.
The Thornhill Inn near Dumfries changed hands for the first time in around 20 years, said agent Smith and Clough Business Associates.
A four-bedroom attached owner or manager’s cottage was also marketed in the sale.
The agent said the property is "set in a picturesque conservation village with a main street location" and parking at the back.

Graeme Smith, of Smith and Clough, said: "Previously known as the George Hotel, our clients purchased the property in 2004 and from the outset, spent considerable time and effort establishing the Thornhill Inn as one of the finest village inns in the area."
The value of the sale was not disclosed, but the property had been marketed at offers "in the region of £500,000".
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.
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
