Set sail for the shores of Arran

A CHEF operator looking to relocate to the islands might be interested in Stags Pavilion, a restaurant business in a scenically attractive spot on the Isle of Arran, together with a modern, two-bedroom owners’ cottage and a two-bedroom static caravan. 

Stags Pavilion was built between the wars, originally as a golf clubhouse, before being converted into a restaurant some years later. Sited in Lochranza, which is home to the Lochranza Distillery as well as the ferry to Claonaig on the Kintyre Peninsula, the venue is currently run by Italian chef Rino and wife Valerie.

It is on the market through DM Hall for offers over £475,000. 

The property has the potential to be run as a coffee shop during the day and a restaurant at night, with the possibility of being open 6/7 days a week. There is also potential for a takeaway service and a small shop within the premises.

“This is an incredibly exciting, unique opportunity to purchase this established restaurant with the added advantage of a newly built detached cottage and a caravan,” said Anthony Zdanowicz of selling agent DM Hall. “The restaurant provides an opportunity for the new owner to grow an already established business, with the two-bedroom cottage and extra caravan accommodation offering potential owner’s accommodation or a prime letting opportunity.”
