Sorn Inn: East Ayrshire restaurant listed for sale on Rightmove

The Sorn Inn has been listed on Rightmove with a price tag of £495,000.

Popular with the locals, as well as those further afield, the restaurant announced in November that it would be 'hibernating' during winter and would be reopening in the spring.

However, it now looks like the closure may become a more permanent fixture, with new buyers being sought for the restaurant and guest rooms, as the current owners look to seel due to the cost of living.

Some people in the area were left unhappy with the "lack of communication" from owners surrounding the then-temporary closure, as people had booked up for Christmas dinners and had no further communication that their bookings had been cancelled.

New owners had taken over the Sorn Inn back at the end of 2020 and had the venue thriving again after the difficulties of the pandemic.

However, now it appears as though new proprietors are needed to take it forward.
