Turnkey pub with letting rooms and garden in scenic Ettrickbridge.
Award‑winning 17th‑century coaching inn, refurbished 2023
The Cross Keys Inn at Ettrickbridge is an award-winning, newly refurbished 17th‑century coaching inn combining traditional character with modern comfort. The business includes a busy bar and restaurant, seven individually designed en suite letting rooms, and a two‑bed staff/owner flat — all fixtures, fittings and digital assets are included. Recent refurbishment (2023) and strong online reviews have helped build a robust, turnkey operation with c.£500,000 net turnover for the year to December 2024.
Sited prominently on a village roadside in the scenic Scottish Borders, the Inn benefits from an engaged local community, tourist traffic and growing regional demand. The grounds include a south‑west beer and pizza garden (50 covers), secure bike storage, and off‑street parking for around 12 cars. There is potential to develop rear land for further guest accommodation subject to planning consent, offering scope to increase capacity and revenue.
Buyers should note material considerations factually: the building’s EPC is rated F, and the property sits in a very deprived area classification, which may affect funding or grant availability. As a rural, remoter‑community business it relies on a mix of local custom and destination visitors; continued success will favour an active owner‑operator or experienced management team. Broadband is average despite excellent mobile signal.
This opportunity suits an owner‑operator, family business or investor seeking an established, multi‑revenue hospitality asset with clear growth potential through accommodation development and events expansion. Full trading accounts and staff information are available to seriously interested parties after viewing.
