A hotel named after a reputedly haunted Scottish castle has been put on the market.
The hotel has a “popular destination bar and restaurant”, seven en-suite letting rooms, a conservatory, function room and beer garden.
Cornerstone Business Agents said the Goblin Ha’ Hotel in Gifford, East Lothian, is “hugely popular”.
It is named after part of the nearby original Yester Castle ruin, known as the Hobgoblin Hall, which was said to have been built using “magic” by a wizard and hobgoblins, and which featured in Sir Walter Scott’s Marmion.
It described the premises as an “iconic two-storey, painted property”.

The property is offered on a new lease agreement for five or 10 years, with tied lease for beer, cider, ale and lager.
Cornerstone Business Agents said a guide price of £20,000 is sought. Annual rent is £71,206 and any new tenant must be “demonstrably capable of fulfilling their obligations under the lease agreement and references will be requested without exception”.
