An award-winning restaurant with letting rooms is up for sale at a fixed price of £945,000 for the freehold.
Christie & Co is marketing The Horseshoe Inn, near Peebles, as its current owners plan semi-retirement.
The property agent said: “The Horseshoe Inn is a cherished spot within the charming village of Eddleston and just a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh. Featuring traditional wooden beam ceilings, stone floors and authentic décor, and serving a wide range of whisky and spirits, the inn offers a welcoming and cosy atmosphere and has been recognised with multiple awards, including an AA Rosette Award.”

Christie & Co added: “Alongside the pub and restaurant, the business also features eight ensuite letting rooms in a beautifully restored Victorian village schoolhouse to the rear of the inn, which have received a ‘4 Gold Star’ rating by the AA Guide, as well as a well-maintained beer garden. The buildings sit on a sizeable plot and there is also a two-bedroom, two-bathroom owners/managers cottage which could serve as a holiday let, offering plenty of potential for new owners.”
Current owners Iain and Fiona Dempster, said of their decision to sell: “We took over the Horseshoe Inn with the firm idea of restoring it to its former glory before bowing out of the trade in Scotland. We are looking to semi-retire, relocate and spend more time with our family.”

Since the pandemic, the business has thrived and continues to grow year-on-year, making this a fantastic opportunity to acquire a profitable pub with rooms, in turnkey condition.
"The business will suit a variety of operators and offers great potential to develop the current letting rooms and the large plot of land it sits on, subject to the correct planning permissions."
