A historic 18th Century village inn is up for sale in Royal Deeside.
The Boat Inn, Aboyne, on the market through Cornerstone Business agents, was built on its riverside location in 1720, and is said to be available in ‘immaculate walk in condition’ for new owners.
Its current owners have been in place for the last 12 years, and have ‘continually’ invested in the business, which had a Net turnover of £2m+ in its most recent accounts.
Run under management, it has 16 high quality letting bedrooms, an ‘outstanding’ restaurant & lounge bar, a pub ‘oozing traditional features’, landscaped grounds and an outside dining/seating area, plus a car park with three EV charging points.
Barry McNeil of Cornerstone said: “From my own perspective, I have been selling businesses like these for the last 30 years and quite comfortably the Boat Inn is one of the best licensed businesses I have ever dealt with.
“It is arguably one of the best licensed businesses in North-East Scotland.”
