Graham + Sibbald are delighted to be appointed to offer the Loch Shiel Hotel for sale. This hotel for sale is a traditional country house hotel situated in its own grounds in the village of Acharacle on the southwest end of Loch Shiel. Loch Shiel is a 17 mile long fresh water loch situated some 12 miles west of Fort William near to Ardnamurchan, the most westerly point of the Scottish mainland.
The loch was recently used as a location for the film series of Harry Potter as the Black Lake near Hogwarts. The area is a popular tourist destination with Ardnamurchan appealing to a variety of visitors, given its geographical position.
There has been a recent development of a whiskey distillery on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula which is now a firm favourite on the whisky trail. We understand that visitor numbers to the distillery are on the increase.
The Loch Shiel Hotel for sale is an attractive traditional 9 bedroom country house hotel with restaurant, public bar and dining areas. The hotel has recently been redecorated to a high standard throughout. The property has a large grassed garden towards the front, a raised decking area for residents and guests and at the rear there is detached owners accommodation and staff accommodation.
Offers around £650,000 are sought for the heritable property, the trade fixtures, fittings and equipment, together with the goodwill of the business, which is to be sold complete as a going concern. Stock in trade will be purchased at an additional price at valuation on the date of entry.
