A SCOTTISH country house hotel with 29 bedrooms has been put up for sale.
The Dryfesdale Country House Hotel was originally a two-storey mansion dating from the 19th century and has been extended and refurbished.
Smith & Clough Associates and Graham & Sibbald have been instructed on a joint agency.
The former manse is “blessed with a delightful elevated rural setting giving open views of the surrounding countryside”, the agents said.
“The hotel is located on the northern outskirts of the town of Lockerbie – a busy town serving the local community – but it is the hotel’s access from the M74 motorway that gives Dryfesdale Country House Hotel an edge; providing ease of accessibility to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Carlisle – an ideal venue for corporate meetings."
The agents added: “With the hotel’s strategic location it has an appeal to a wide cross section of custom, whether that be locally based, a wedding venue, or travelling visitors and tourists.
“The seller has owned and operated the hotel since 2004 and, with the decision to sell, there is an excellent opportunity for new owners to acquire a well-established and profitable hotel in a popular location."
The hotel is for sale for offers around £2.1m.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
