A businessman who conceded defeat in his bid to revive the fortunes of an historic hotel and watering hole has won the right to turn it into a family home.
Kenneth Lorimer, who owns the former King’s Arms Hotel in Barr, previously said it was no longer financially sustainable to operate the venture in the picturesque village.
Mr Lorimer submitted an application to South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission to change the use of the former hotel and pub and to make alterations.
