From the moment you walk through the front doors of the Lodge on the Loch Hotel, you are instantly aware that you have entered a professionally operated, quality establishment with a most welcoming & friendly atmosphere. With truly breathtaking views towards the mountains of Glencoe, this impressive 15 bedroom Boutique style hotel, which was originally built around 1900, then latterly extended; is located in the west highland village of Onich. Nestling in 4 acres of land and sitting on an enviable waterfront position overlooking Loch Linnhe; the hotel is situated to the north side of the Ballachulish Bridge on the A82 Glasgow to Inverness road, the position of the hotel results in a large volume of passing trade. The village of Onich is located 10 miles south of the bustling highland town of Fort William. The town of Fort William is the largest in the West Highlands of Scotland and is the commercial centre of Lochaber, an area renowned for magnificent scenery. As one of the busiest areas in the west coast, most visitors to the highlands will at some point visit Fort William, taking in some of the finest scenery Scotland has to offer. The area offers an enviable way of life while surrounded by some of the most spectacular loch and mountain scenery in Scotland.

With a growing reputation as one of the areas finest hotels, the hotel offers the discerning guest a perfect base to explore the wealth of breathtaking scenery and attractions nearby. Originally built as a private residence; then latterly converted to a hotel, The Lodge on the Loch Hotel benefits from an extensive refurbishment programme which has seen upgrading to all of the 15 en-suite bedrooms, public rooms & grounds. Potential purchasers & guests will notice on visiting the hotel that during the renovation, close attention to quality and detail has been paid through out this magnificent boutique style hotel. All of the bedrooms & suites are individually themed & tastefully decorated with good quality furniture & luxurious soft furnishings that gives each room a homely feel yet offering all the little extras that you would expect in a fine hotel. The high standard achieved in the bedrooms continues in the public areas and gardens. Whilst a good level of corporate, tourists, sporting & passing trade is currently enjoyed at the hotel, which has resulted in healthy profit levels, our client advises, that trading under an owner operator, possibly with experience in the hotel or catering industry, the business turnover has tremendous potential to grow to impressive levels over the coming years ahead. Our client feels that one way to significantly increase trading levels would be to focus further on the food side of the business, possibly offering high quality locally sourced seafood. The location, size of restaurant and volume of passing trade offers the perfect ingredients needed for a quality restaurant. Due to family commitments overseas, our client has now reluctantly decided to offer this superb hotel for sale.
