Situation: The small village of Auchencrow is situated in the Scottish Borders approximately 1 hours drive from Edinburgh and 12 miles from the county town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Situated on the edge of the Lammermuir Hills the village is surrounded by lovely rural countryside, yet only a couple of minutes drive from the A1 trunk road. The Scottish Borders is known for its beautiful unspoilt countryside with fishing on many rivers, numerous excellent golf courses and walks. The Berwickshire coastline is also very popular with divers.
The Business: The Craw Inn has been owned by the current proprietors since 1999 and has been placed on the market due to their impending retirement. The business has an excellent reputation for good quality wholesome meals, an excellent selection of Real Ales and a convivial atmosphere. The business draws custom not only from the surrounding area but also from further afield including the north of England and Edinburgh. A large menu is offered both in the bar and restaurant which is enhanced by daily specials, especially fresh fish which is bought from the nearby fish market at Eyemouth. The Craw Inn employs a full time chef along with another full time kitchen assistant and part time front of house staff. The cottage which has recently been completed has been step up to be either used as owner’s accommodation, further lettings bedrooms or a self catering cottage. This newly formed cottage will undoubtedly have the potential to add substantial profits to the business in the next year.
