Summary - THE GABLES HOTEL, 1, ANNAN ROAD DG16 5DQ
31 bed 1 bath Hotel
Proven wedding trade and strategic motorway access for investor redevelopment.
Freehold substantial detached hotel with mature landscaped grounds
A substantial freehold hotel in Gretna, offered by liquidators, presents a clear commercial opportunity for an investor or operator. The Gables occupies mature landscaped grounds with a paved driveway and on-site parking, and sits just one mile from the M74/M6/A75 corridor for straightforward access to Glasgow, Carlisle and Dumfries.
The property comprises 31 letting bedrooms and a range of function and meeting spaces, including dining rooms and a bar, historically trading strongly from the local wedding market (Gretna attracts around 5,000 weddings a year). The site previously generated a net turnover in excess of £680,000 when trading, so the location and accommodation mix are proven assets.
Important facts: the business is currently closed and being sold on behalf of liquidators, so immediate refurbishment and re‑opening costs should be allowed for. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the local area is classified as deprived, which may affect some types of higher‑end corporate trade. The building appears well maintained externally but conversion or change‑of‑use schemes (residential apartments, alternative leisure uses) would require the necessary consents.
This is a transaction aimed at buyers who can invest to re‑establish trading, reposition the asset, or secure development consent. The combination of size, parking, and a proven wedding catchment gives scope for a variety of commercial or redevelopment strategies.
