A SCOTTISH Highland hotel known for being the first in the UK to be 100% vegan has been put on the market.
Saorsa 1875, in Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire, has been put up for sale as the current owners look to “pursue overseas business interests,” according to agents Graham and Sibbald.
Alistair Letham, a hotel and leisure consultant with the firm, commented: “Saorsa 1875 is an exceptional hotel delightfully refurbished to a great boutique hotel standard in a wonderful trading location.
“The current business model sets Saorsa 1875 on its own pedestal and new owners can continue and expand on what has been created with the vegan business; or very easily open out the business to a wider offering.”
According to Saorsa's website, the hotel offers tasting menus which are "completely plant-based and showcase local, seasonal, and foraged produce".
The 19th-century hotel, which is on Pitlochry’s East Moulin Road, has 11 bedrooms and 1.8 acres of land.
It was first set up in 2018 and has "excellent" bookings through 2024 already, according to the property agents.
The listing further states: “The hotel features a lounge bar, snug/private dining room and restaurant.
“The mature gardens feature short, relaxing woodland walks and hideaways to relax in. There is also a large yurt, ideal for yoga and wellness retreats and other private functions.”
Graham and Sibbald are inviting offers “around £950,000” for Saorsa 1875.
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!
