Feathers Inn, a popular pub in Campbeltown, Argyll and Bute, has been put on the market for offers over £475,000 after 40 years under the same ownership. The property is listed by estate agents Christie&Co and is described as an "incredibly rare" opportunity for potential buyers.
Prime Location in Campbeltown
Situated on Cross Street at Burnside Square, Feathers Inn sits in the heart of the town on a quaint street. It is close to many shops, amenities and the waterfront, and the pub welcomes droves of customers through its door all year round, especially during the summer months as tourism booms.
The pub includes two distinct trading areas for guests to enjoy: a traditional public bar along with a separate lounge, both filled with informal seating for a comfortable and relaxing experience. Feathers Inn also features seating and tables just outside the premises so customers can enjoy a pint or spirit while soaking up the sunshine, when the weather permits.
Long-Standing Ownership
Owned and operated by James Green for the last 40 years, he is now ready to hand over the reins as he is due to retire. Under his ownership, the pub has received rave reviews online and has built a following of around 1,500 people on Facebook.
Feathers Inn currently has a 4.5 star rating on Google reviews from over 200 customers, with one reviewer praising it as a "Very Scottish pub, where you can drink a beer or two and certainly some of the nice local whiskies. Very nicely and traditionally decorated interior."
Customer Praise and Sale Details
Another reviewer claimed: "One of the best pubs in town. Great staff, atmosphere, music and prices." Someone else added: "It really is hard to find a more friendly bar than this... we have visited this bar a few times now and the atmosphere is brilliant."
A fourth guest wrote: "Tucked away in the quaint streets of the town, The Feathers Bar is a hidden gem that offers a unique pub experience. It's a place where the absence of food is more than made up for by the quality of its drinks and the warmth of its atmosphere." Another Google reviewer also said: "Visiting friends and stopped here for a couple... or more. Good atmosphere, good barstaff and overall a great evening!"
Speaking on the sale process, director of hospitality at Christie&Co Tony Spence said: "The Feathers Inn is a well-established wet-led business that enjoys a strong reputation within the local community and benefits from a prominent trading position in the centre of Campbeltown."
He added: "Opportunities to acquire long-standing, profitable freehold pubs in popular west coast locations are increasingly rare, and we expect interest from both experienced operators and those looking to enter the licensed trade in Scotland."
