The Redgarth also won Best Pub & Bar in 2020, awarded by Restaurant Guru.

The Redgarth Inn in Oldmeldrum listed for £850,000

Also located on the ground floor is a fully fitted commercial kitchen, boiler room, cellar and office.

The Redgarth Inn also has guest accommodations, with each of the six rooms named after types of trees.

These are Beech (deluxe double), Cherry (twin or super king), Yew (executive double), Hawthorn (double with sitting area), Oak (deluxe double), and Ash (deluxe double with balcony).

Outside the gardens are nicely appointed with a snug heated smoking area for up to 10 people and a picnic area with space for 24.

The property also has a large car park with spaces for 30 vehicles as well as two electric car charge ports.

The current owner, Stuart Singer, has lovingly cared for the inn for more than 34 years but has decided to retire.

Simon Watson, business agent at Christie & Co, said: “This is a rare and excellent opportunity to acquire a long-established, well-performing business in Oldmeldrum.

“The Redgarth would be well suited to an owner-operator family business or could compliment an existing portfolio due to its high level of turnover.”

The Redgarth is currently listed with Christie & Co for £850,000.
