A HISTORIC Scottish hotel dating from the 19th century has been put up for sale as the owner looks to retire.
Cornerstone Business Agents said the “immaculately presented” four-letting room Aberdeen Arms Hotel is popular with tourists and is located on a famous cycle route.
The hotel in Tarves, Aberdeenshire, has had the same owners for 17 years and has “very neatly presented public areas” to include a bar, lounge bar, bistro and large function room.
Cornerstone said: “One of our clients has decided to retire and consequently the business and property has been offered for sale.

“The Aberdeen Arms Hotel has been rarely available on the open market, our clients are only the ninth owner in the last 133 years.
“The hotel operates as a multi-income stream business, offering an excellent mix of beers, wines and spirits as well as trading with a tasty lunch and dinner menu.
“Given the central location in the village the function room and the hotel in general trades to a wide variety of functions ranging from birthdays, funerals and weddings to music and entertainment.”
The agent added: “The rooms are popular with tourists as Tarves is well situated for a variety of tourist destinations and the hotel is on the North Sea cycle route.
“As well as holiday makers the hotel caters for visiting relatives and those working in the area.
“The hotel is the only licensed establishment in this growing village, which serves the locals as well as outlying local area.
“The business is run by our clients with the assistance of two full time chefs and around 10 part time staff.”
Cornerstone Business agents said the guide price is around £550,000.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
