The hotel is being sold with all trade equipment, fixtures and fittings, all with vacant possession.
Located in the Crown area of Inverness, the hotel is on a prominent corner location at the junction of Southside Road and Old Edinburgh Road, with Shepherd noting it is within easy walking distance of the city centre.
The building comprises a "substantial" detached two-storey townhouse hotel originally constructed around 1700 – subsequently extended and recently refurbished - Shepherd noted.
The grounds have 19 car parking spaces at the front and side of the building, with a raised timber deck providing an external seating area at the side.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
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.
