Alistair Letham, hotel and leisure consultant with Graham + Sibbald, said: “The East Haugh House previously operated as a quality, destination, country house hotel some three years ago. The property since has been used for exclusive occupation and therefore could easily revert to full use if new owners preferred that.”
