The Eden Lodge Hotel in Whiting Bay is looking for a new owner after it was put up for sale last week.
Victoria McAllister, who bought the hotel six years ago, has spent a large amount of money refurbishing the building inside and out.
According to Christie and Co, the company who are handling the sale, the last accounts showed a turnover in excess of £380,000 net of VAT
For the past two years the hotel has operated with limited trading hours for six months of the year.
With seven bedrooms, a bar/restaurant and a function area, the hotel has been an important part of village life for many years.
All the public areas and bedrooms are in excellent condition and, up until recently, the present owner did stay on site using the super king room, which includes a jacuzzi bathroom and has an adjoining bunk room.
If owner’s accommodation is required, this area could be completely closed off from the rest of the hotel.
Graeme Smith, Christie and Co estate agent, said: ‘The Isle of Arran is extremely popular and with Whiting Bay located approximately eight miles from the main ferry terminal in Brodick, it makes Eden Lodge Hotel an easily accessible business.
‘Its location enables its guests to appreciate Arran’s dramatic surroundings and offers a comfortable, relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
‘The business also benefits from ample private parking and extensive outside seating areas with views to both the front and the neighbouring bowling green.
‘The hotel is being offered to the market at offers in excess of £550,000 for the freehold and, in my opinion, should be viewed to fully appreciate not just the trading potential of Eden Lodge Hotel but also what the island has to offer.’
Last year Vicki McAllister and her partner Callum McNicol bought Stalkers restaurant in Brodick.
After a full refurbishment, a dramatic red painted exterior and a change of name, the Eilean Mor has proved to be an asset to the village.
