PROPERTY
The bustling town of Banff is situated on the edge of the Moray Firth around thirty-five mile east of Elgin. Together with its twin town of Macduff, which is just across the River Deveron, the combined population is approximately twenty thousand. Banff was at one time a very important Fishing Port but the harbour has now been converted into a busy Marina and there are tremendous views from the Railway Inn over the Marina to the Moray Firth. The area has always been a holiday destination and there are numerous Caravan Parks and Hotels. There are also two championship golf courses at Duff House Royal and Royal Tarlair. The town is also very close to the tourist orientated “Whisky and Castle Trails” which draw visitors from all over the world. The Railway Inn is a “B” Listed Building probably constructed around 1850 and it is in heavy stone with a pitched and slated roof. The present owner has been in residence for over fifteen years and the business is only on the market due to a genuine wish to retire. Trade at the Inn is principally local and is steady all year round. Over the years it has always been profitable and new owners could run it in its current fashion or the upper floor, which is mostly unused, could be converted to a Restaurant catering to locals, visitors and yachtsmen. Whichever direction to new owner chooses we are of the opinion that if run correctly it will always be profitable and we highly recommend viewing to appreciate the potential.
BAR
The bar is warm and comfortable and has a welcoming atmosphere. There is a Darts Lane, a Pool Table, a Gaming Machine, a Jukebox and 2 Television Sets. Some of the walls have been panelled in pine and the seating between benches, stools and chairs can accommodate twenty-six people around eight tables.
The Bar which has a tiled top has three Beer, two Lager, a Stout and a Cider Font. Underneath there is the usual Sink Unit and a Wash Hand Basin. Among the other equipment is a Till, a Glass Washer, a Bottle Display Fridge and an Icemaker. The very attractive and well-stocked pine and mirror Gantry carries twenty-two Optics. This is an excellent example of a well-run and well-used local Public Bar.
LOUNGE BAR
The Lounge Bar is on the upper floor and is at present only used for meetings. It has a fully fitted bar, a Bottle Display Fridge and a Glass Washer.
