Summary - KINGS ARMS HOTEL, 31-33, ST ANDREW STREET DG7 1EL
10 bed 1 bath Hotel
Long-established trading hotel with strong turnover — ideal for investor refurbishment.
Freehold 10-bedroom town centre hotel on prominent corner plot
A well-known, long-established 10-bedroom freehold hotel occupying a prominent corner plot in Castle Douglas. The business generates strong trade (reported net turnover in excess of £500,000) from locals and year‑round visitors: golfers, cyclists, hikers and through-traffic on the A75. The property includes a substantial three‑bed owner’s flat plus an adjoining two‑bed flat available to purchase separately.
The building retains period exterior character but much of the interior requires updating. The main bar is dated (1980s style) and the accommodation would benefit from a programme of refurbishment to maximise room rates and occupancy. Practical strengths include a beer garden, multiple F&B areas and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity.
Key commercial positives — freehold ownership, established trading history, and good turnover — sit alongside important operational issues: the property has only one bathroom listed for 10 letting bedrooms, and the local area scores as very deprived, which may affect staffing and certain markets. The hotel is therefore best suited to an investor or operator prepared to invest in upgrading rooms, public areas and services to lift yields and broaden appeal.
Offered at a competitive price for a trading ten‑bedroom town centre hotel, this is a clear opportunity for an experienced purchaser to capitalise on the site, trading history and location while delivering targeted refurbishment to drive future income.
