An award-winning Highland inn has been put up for sale after 10 years under its current ownership.

The Ben Cruachan Inn in Lochawe, Argyll, has been brought to market after its owners decided the time was right to hand the business over to new custodians.

Situated at the foot of Ben Cruachan overlooking Loch Awe, the inn has grown from a derelict pub into a hospitality business featuring a bar and kitchen, boutique guest rooms and garden suites.

The property is being marketed as a going concern through Elgin-based commercial agency CCL Property.

A spokesperson for the owners said: "The Ben Cruachan Inn has been our passion for the past 10 years and we are immensely proud of having transformed a derelict old pub into a thriving award-winning business.

"Our team have been key to our success from developing the food and drink offering to the atmosphere and the welcome our guests receive.

"After careful consideration we have decided that the time is right to pass the Inn on to new custodians, who can build on its reputation and continue to develop the business and its place in the local community by Loch Awe."
