Newtown St. Boswells is an attractive town situated in the Scottish Borders just off the A68 and close to larger Borders towns such as Melrose and Galashiels. The town has an old world feel to it and is a very popular residential area for people working in the larger Borders towns such as Galashiels and Hawick.

The area around the town continues to expand with new house building in and around the area. This part of the Borders has benefited from the reintroduction of the Border’s rail link – opening the immediate area to the regular train connection to Edinburgh and beyond. The town is also home to an important livestock mart which has current plans for a strategic redevelopment.

The Dryburgh Arms Hotel is the only public bar in the village and is situated in its centre, an ideal location to serve the local community and passing trade.

The main entrance leads from a vestibule into the public bar which features an open fire. A few steps from the bar leads to the games area with a pool table and beyond this, a large darts room with two darts lanes, which enables the business to host pool and darts teams. The lounge bar is located off the bar.

There are three letting bedrooms on the first floor, all offered in an excellent and well-presented condition. The rooms are neatly furnished and en-suite. The current breakdown of rooms offers, two double and one family room. In addition, there is also a large self contained flat on the first floor. This would be ideal family sized accommodation or it could be utilised as a self-catering let.

There is a further attic floor, which is currently not utilised. The attic level offers 3 additional rooms. These rooms require minor redevelopment to turn them into additional accommodation for owners.

There is a well presented beer garden to the rear with paved beer patio.

The Dryburgh Arms Pub with Rooms represents a superb business opportunity, offering new owners immediate and obvious potential to grow and enhance the business.

The breakfast room/lounge is located just off the bar, this would be an ideal space to reintroduce a food/bar meal trade. Our clients run the business under management, but it is thought that new owners wishing to run in a hands-on fashion, as well as having an interest in food, will be able to re-establish a very popular food trade.

The business also offers flexibility in terms of the owners accommodation or it could be utilised as a self-catering let.

The attic level, with minor redevelopment, offers 3 additional rooms.

As the only pub in this expanding town, there is genuine demand from locals and visitors alike.
