After thirty years in family ownership, the Kings Arms Hotel in Castle Douglas, Dumfries & Galloway, is up for sale.
With ten bedrooms and a full range of food and beverage facilities, the town centre establishment has a long history of welcoming both tourists and locals.
Said to retain its rural Scottish charm, while also boasting a variety of modern facilities to serve a broad clientele, the hotel includes a spacious three-bed flat, ideal either as a home for owners or accommodation for residential staff.
There is also an adjacent two-bedroom flat, currently used for self-catering purposes, which is available for separate purchase, as a further asset to the hotel’s accommodation offer.
The picturesque region of Dumfries and Galloway has lately been on a touristic upward curve, giving the Kings Arms Hotel a year-round trade of golfers, bikers, cyclists, hikers and sight-seers keen to take advantage of the area’s natural beauty.

Castle Douglas itself sits on the A75 Euroroute, linking the M6/M74 at Gretna Green to Cairnryan and the ferries to Northern Ireland.
The town also hosts a busy livestock mart, hosting weekly sales and welcoming International agricultural visitors for specialised cattle breeds.
