The Horseshoe Inn is a cherished spot within the charming village of Eddleston and just a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh. Featuring traditional wooden beam ceilings, stone floors and authentic décor, and serving a wide range of whisky and spirits, the inn offers a welcoming and cosy atmosphere and has been recognised with multiple awards, including an AA Rosette Award.

Alongside the pub and restaurant, the business also features eight en-suite letting rooms in a beautifully restored Victorian village schoolhouse to the rear of the inn, which have received a 4 Gold Star rating by the AA Guide, as well as a well-maintained beer garden. The buildings sit on a sizeable plot and there is also a two-bedroom, two-bathroom owners/managers cottage which could serve as a holiday let, offering plenty of potential for new owners.

Commenting on their decision to sell, the current owners, Iain and Fiona Dempster, said, “We took over the Horseshoe Inn with the firm idea of restoring it to its former glory before bowing out of the trade in Scotland.  We are looking to semi retire, relocate and spend more time with our family.”

Simon Watson, Business Agent at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, comments, "I am delighted that Iain & Fiona have given us the opportunity to sell this iconic, award-winning village inn.  Since the pandemic, the business has thrived and continues to grow year-on-year, making this a fantastic opportunity to acquire a profitable pub with rooms, in turnkey condition. The business will suit a variety of operators and offers great potential to develop the current letting rooms and the large plot of land it sits on, subject to the correct planning permissions."

The Horseshoe Inn is on the market at freehold fixed price of £945,000.
