An ‘outstanding’ newly renovated restaurant and bar overlooking Stranraer’s Loch Ryan is now on the market through Graham + Sibbald.

Henrys Bay House & Restaurant, on Cairnryan Road, is said to do a ‘roaring’ food and beverage trade, and offer the right purchasers ‘a fantastic opportunity to run an exceptional business oozing with character and charm’.

The property was once the club house for the golf course, but has been fully renovated to a modern design whilst still incorporating some of the original features.

There’s a bar/lounge and spacious restaurant on the ground floor, while on the upper floor there’s an apartment comprising two large double en-suite rooms, a large living room/dining room with views across the bay, and kitchenette, all of which could be either owners’ accommodation or letting accommodation.

Current owners John and Jane Henry said: “Back in 2014 when we became owners of Henry’s Bay House, and with 35 years’ experience in hospitality and catering, we set out a 10-year plan to take us to retirement.

“Well in a flash the 10 years are almost up and with a lot of sadness we now know that it is the right time to bow out and make room for new people with fresh ideas to take over. Our family has grown and we now wish to spend time enjoying life with our children and grandchildren.”

Emily Hewitson of Graham + Sibbald said: “This outstanding business has proven itself to be a key player in the South West Scotland market attracting large crowds all year round.

“The property is a great example of Scottish Hospitality blending traditional features with modern design to offer tourists and locals a fantastic space to enjoy. The seller has decided now is the time to retire from the trade and presents a very well presented and highly profitable business for the next owner enjoy.”

Graham + Sibbald are inviting offers over £499,000 for the Heritable interest in the property.
