A popular Ayr café has been put up for sale as its owners set their eye on retirement.

Café Le Monde is situated on the busy Newmarket Street, and is being offered on a leasehold basis due to early retirement. 

The eatery is described as one of Ayrshire's "go-to cafes", with a 4.5 rating on review site TripAdvisor. 

It is being marketed by McEwan Fraser Legal, who say it is "well known within the area and benefits from local repeat clientele".

There is also plenty of passing visitor trade due to its prominent position on Newmarket Street.
