Hospitality for sale

A fantastic chance to own a collection of 9 upscale holiday lodges situated on the enchanting Loch Awe. These lodges, comprising 1, 2, and 3 bedroom detached and semi-detached chalets, have a successful operational history under the management of Portsonachan Hotel. This acquisition offers a lucrative investment opportunity for prospective owners. Alongside the lodges, there is a 3-bedroom house suitable for owner's accommodation and an additional 3 acres of land with planning consent for constructing 40 glamping pods. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the lodges' quality and the promising potential this sale presents.

The Portsonachan Hotel is a picturesque retreat located on the shores of Loch Awe, at the base of the Scottish Highlands. Loch Awe is Britain's longest freshwater loch, stretching 26 miles with over 60 miles of shoreline, known for its stunning scenery and fishing opportunities. The hotel is conveniently positioned within driving distance to several key locations: 31 miles from Oban, 78 miles from Glasgow, and 12 miles from Inveraray. The nearby village of Dalmally provides essential services and amenities.

Oban, to the west of the hotel, is a lively town with shopping, leisure facilities, and a variety of dining options. It serves as a hub for education and healthcare and is the departure point for ferries to the Hebridean islands. The town has good transport links, including a railway station and proximity to Glasgow Airport, which offers flights to various destinations.

The lodges at Portsonachan have been in operation for a number of years and been fully managed and maintained by Portsonachan Hotel. The lodges are currently let for a minimum of 3 nights with rates varying between £150 per night, for a one-bedroom lodge, and £590 per night for a three bedroom lodge. The resort benefits greatly from online reviews and much repeat business. Historically this business has generated £500k income per year. The lodges, currently part of the Portsonachan Hotel complex, can be operated as a standalone business managed and operated by new owners. Alternatively, the lodges can be purchased as an investment and continued to be managed and maintained by the hotel.

The glamping pods have not been constructed yet but the indicative build cost is £75k per unit and it estimated that once fully operational annual revenue will be in the region of £500k with very low running costs as the units are off grid and designed to be very efficient both on housekeeping energy costs.

In total there are 9 chalets. Stirling Lodge & Dunvegan Lodge: Larger than average detached, four-bedroom lodges with open plan living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, three double bedrooms, a smaller single bedroom, two family bathrooms, sauna room, hot tub on large leisure deck overlooking the Loch, and ample storage throughout.

Carrick Lodge, Kilchurn Lodge, and Innes Connell Lodge: Spacious three-bedroom detached lodges with open plan living room, dining area, kitchen, three double bedrooms, two family bathrooms, sauna room, hot tubs on large leisure decks overlooking the Loch, and abundant storage.

Duart & Skibo Lodge Cedar Cladding: Spacious one-bedroom semi-detached lodges expanding over two levels with one double bedroom (en-suite), large lounge with sofa beds, separate dining kitchen, second Bathroom, outside patio area overlooking the Loch, and ample storage.

All lodges feature outdoor entertainment areas with elevated decking overlooking Loch Awe, hot tubs, private parking, and are fully furnished and equipped to a high standard, offering a 'turn-key' investment opportunity.

To the east of the chalets is a 6-acre site that has detailed planning permission for the erection of 10 glamping pods with an overall plan agreed with Argyll & Bute planners to construct a further 3 phases of 10 unit each . The site slopes down to the edge of Loch Awe and each pod will have a unique and stunning views.

Each pod boasts a high standard of finish, featuring natural timber walls juxtaposed with neutral tones to harmonize with the beautiful natural surroundings.
