"When the McMahons purchased the inn it had been closed for a significant period of time.

"In light of the current demand for lifestyle businesses' I am particularly confident that the sale of the Ferry Inn will prove to be a popular choice for the discerning purchaser looking for an established business in a desirable location.

"It will also attract buyers interested in developing the food trade to draw custom from the many commuters."
