A hotel at Gairloch on the North Coast 500 route has been put up for sale, with offers of around £950,000 sought for the freehold interest.
The Old Inn & Brewhouse at Flowerdale is being marketed by Graham + Sibbald.

Alistair Pearson, the current owner, said: “After several difficult ‘Covid’ years the business performed well in 2023. Current advance room bookings - up 55% on last year - business well on its way to reach pre-Covid levels. After nearly 25 years running the business, it has been a difficult decision but with a great location, a solid business, this is a good time to pass the baton.”

The property also benefits from an outdoor terrace for alfresco activities overlooking the harbour.”
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.

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.

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.
