Graham + Sibbald said: “The sellers, William and Katrina Reynolds, have lovingly owned and operated the Allanton Inn for over 14 years and during their time have extensively refurbished and modernised the inn to an exceptional standard.
“The restaurant has an excellent reputation and is renowned for supporting local suppliers and showcasing local produce, securing the Allanton Inn a Scottish Thistle Award...[for] 2023 as well as many industry accolades over the years.”
It added: “In the recent years, William and Katrina Reynolds have upgraded the garden to the rear, which now boasts an attractive beer garden with al-fresco dining, as well as its own cocktail bar and outdoor pizza oven. During the summer months, as expected, the garden is bustling with activity.”
Alistair Letham, hotel and leisure consultant with Graham + Sibbald, said: “The Allanton Inn provides a level of quality, and has a renowned reputation, reflected in the recent awards and the excellent level of profitability. This well-established business is ideal for experienced operators, say expanding their portfolio, and for first-time buyers to the trade.”
