Star buy this week is the Ballinluig Inn, near Pitlochry in Perthshire.

This roadside village inn has a prominent location just off the A9 Perth to Inverness road at its junction with the A827, ensuring a regular flow of passing custom and offering visitors an excellent base from which to explore the stunning surrounding countryside.

The property features eight en suite bedrooms, a café-style restaurant, lounge bar, and an adjoining two-bedroom cottage for the owners.

The hotel has, in recent years, been managed from a distance and has failed to reach its full potential. Hands-on management, together with the location should ensure a profitable business.

Agent Colliers Robert Barry is inviting offers over £395,000. For details call Alistair Letham on 0131 240 7575.
