Scottish Highlands hotels up for sale

Two Scottish Highlands hotels under the Glenorchy Lodge Hotels portfolio have been put up for sale on the instruction of administrators.

The two hotels – Tyndrum Lodge in Tyndrum and Taynuilt Hotel in Argyll and Bute – were run for over 20 years by Glenrchy Lodge and are available together or individually.

Brian Sheldon of Christie + Co, who is co-ordinating the sale of the two hotels, said: “The hotels have undergone major refurbishment during the time they were run by Glenorchy Hotels. They have developed much repeat business and attract all-year-round trade, thanks to their excellent trading positions.”

Taynuilt Hotel (pictured) is a 16th Century coaching inn with 12 en-suite bedrooms and two bars and restaurants. It is situated on the A85 – a busy tourist route in Scotland. The freehold to Taynuilt Hotel is being offered at a guide price of £450,000.

“The two hotels continue to trade throughout this process,” added Sheldon. “We anticipate a good level of interest in either, or both, from prospective purchasers.”
