Peacefully situated only a five minute walk from the centre of the conservation town of Moffat, Rockhill Guest House is a long established guest house that has been under the same ownership for over 25 years.  Only a 3 minute drive from junction 15 of the M74 motorway, the affluent area of Moffat offers excellent local amenities & schooling. Over looking tennis courts & bowling green with uninterrupted views of the rolling hills beyond the location of the Rockhill Guest House is the perfect base for guests and owners alike to enjoy the wealth of interesting places to visit nearby. The area is a haven for walkers, cyclists and those interested in fishing & shooting. The proprietors of Rockhill Guest House have invested heavily in the property over the years, with en-suite rooms added, double glazing and the addition of the private owner’s accommodation. The rear extension, which our clients invested in around 23 years ago, offers the rare benefit of a completely private living accommodation for the family. Our clients feel that having this totally private space has been an important factor in the 25 years of ownership. With only recently being awarded three stars from Visit Scotland, our clients have continued to invest in Rockhill Guest House. Due to our clients wish to trade below the current VAT threshold, the business trades from March – November, however we are advised that new owners would have the opportunity to vastly increase trade should they wish, by opening the business for 12 months a year & possibly offering evening meals.

Our clients are now offering the business for sale after many successful and rewarding years in charge of the business, due to a wish to retire allowing for new owners the opportunity of owning and operating one of the areas most popular guest houses.
