In an idyllic setting on the Cowal Peninsula overlooking Loch Long, The Strone Inn is a picture-perfect embodiment of hospitality in the Scottish Highlands and Islands – and it is now up for sale through Graham + Sibbald.
With a Dunoon postcode, this village pub with stunning views over the bay has preserved its traditional origins while ‘thoughtfully’ expanding over the years.
On the ground floor, the Inn features a spacious bistro dining area alongside its classic pub setting, combining period features with modern design to create what is said to be a ‘warm, welcoming atmosphere’.
This sale offers an opportunity for a new operator to further develop this ‘well-established and beloved business’ in an excellent location – but it is also a lifestyle opportunity, with development potential in the three-bedroom flat located above the pub.
Licensed trade agent at Graham + Sibbald, Martin Sutherland, said: “The availability of The Strone Inn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-known business in a truly beautiful location. The property provides an excellent chance for a new owner to take over an established lifestyle business in turnkey condition.”
Current co-owner of the Strone Inn, Stephen Mitchell , commented: “The Strone Inn has been at the heart of the Shore community since 1852 trading initially as The Argyle Hotel and more recently as the thriving village inn that exists today.
“We have owned it for the past 10 years but, we feel it is time to hand over the reins. Whoever buys it will inherit a pub much loved by the whole community which, while it trades well, has huge potential for the right people to come in and expand the current offering.”
Graham + Sibbald are inviting offers in the region of £275,000 for the freehold interest.
