Built in the 1800s this fine country hotel sits on a road side position over looking one of Scotland’s most famous Salmon fishing rivers, the River Tweed. Located between the borders towns of Peebles & Galashiels in the village of Walkerburn in Peeblesshire. The local area is blessed with a number of superb golf courses with stunning views of the magnificent countryside. The surrounding hills offer the peace and tranquillity of the great outdoors, with the Southern Upland Way, a coast to coast walk easily accusable from the hotel and of course Salmon fishing in the River Tweed, which runs past the rear of the hotel. The area can also boast a large number of visitor attractions such as historic houses, castles and abbeys all nearby.

Over the years the George Hotel has been extended and modernised to offer guests a pleasant & welcoming environment. Only recently the George Hotel has undergone a modernisation programme that has included upgrading to the letting rooms and most of the public areas. Since taking ownership of the hotel over 5 years ago our client has work hard to change the style of trading at the hotel from a wet sales led business to a successful multi income stream hotel boasting a year on year increase in sales. Throughout the hotel many new operational systems have been put in place in which has helped to create a professional & pleasant environment for guests and staff alike which has in return provided a healthy level of trade for our clients to enjoy. Only now due to personal reasons have our clients decided to offer the hotel for sale allowing for new owners to continue the growth of this successful country hotel. We would stress that early viewing is recommended as to avoid any disappointment and to fully appreciate this well presented hotel.
