An inn dating back to the 18th century, which has not traded since 2019, has been put up for sale at offers over £500,000.
Graham + Sibbald has been appointed to sell The Weem Inn, at Weem near Aberfeldy in Perthshire, with the property agent declaring this is “a wonderful opportunity to re-establish this once busy and popular Perthshire hostelry”.
The Weem Inn is in the process of being refurbished to create an 18-bedroom hotel, with restaurant and bar facilities and an outdoor terrace. Graham + Sibbald noted the “ample car parking” may, in part, be suitable for additional leisure development, noting potential for adding chalets or glamping pods.
