A 170-YEAR-OLD hotel in the Highlands has been put on the market.
The Roy Bridge Hotel, which is situated roughly 12 miles east of Fort William in Roybridge, has been offered for sale as the current owner looks to retire.
Property agents Christie and Co said the hotel is “very profitable” – and is currently only open for eight months of the year.
The agents said this offered “a great work/life balance for an ingoing purchaser which demonstrates a huge opportunity remains to further grow the existing income”.
The building is a traditional coaching inn and dates back to the 1850s.
The hotel has a bar and restaurant as well as 15 rooms, 10 of which are en-suite, and four lodges in the grounds.
The hotel, which is five miles from the Nevis Range Mountain Resort, also has a beer garden and a fully fitted commercial kitchen.
Christie and Co said in their listing: “Our client has owned the Roy Bridge Hotel since 2017 and is now selling due to retirement.
“The hotel has been trading very profitably to date and now an opportunity exists to grow the income further by extending opening hours as the hotel closes from November to February and with the added benefit of having four new lodges within the grounds.
“The hotel offers excellent accommodation, food and drinks and is well placed to offer stays to those seeking outdoor adventures or relaxation amidst stunning Scottish scenery.”
Full trading information will be made available to seriously interested parties, Christie and Co said.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
