The Loch Earn Brewery & Hotel in the central Highlands has been put on the market with an asking price of £775,000.
Christie & Co has been instructed to sell the hotel in the village of St Fillans, which is at the eastern end of Loch Earn on the A85 road. The property agent noted the hotel was in need of “extensive refurbishment”.
The Loch Earn Brewery & Hotel sits on the banks of the loch.
Christie & Co declares that it “boasts breathtaking views over the water and surrounding highlands”.
It notes the property also enjoys direct loch access, with ten moorings, three piers and a private slipway.
The main building, a C-listed Victorian property, comprises 38 letting bedrooms, along with three separate bar and restaurant areas, including a lochside beer garden. The site also features several outbuildings which include the brewery and owners’ accommodation.
Tony Spence at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “This sale presents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a large hotel which sits on the banks of Loch Earn and offers prospects for further development, as the property is in need of an extensive refurbishment.
“The business has been in our clients’ hands since 2013 and has proved popular with tourists as well as people passing through the village. Yet to date, it has traded to limited capacity, opening for cafe and public bar service only, as the current owners are presently focusing on other business interests.”
The £775,000 asking price is for the freehold.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
