n The chance to breathe new life into a Highland hotel is being offered by agents Christie & Co. Amid superb west Highland scenery, the Stewart Hotel stands in Glen Duror, a few miles south of Ballachulish on the Oban Road.
Currently closed and not trading, the hotel is in the centre of a popular tourism area on the west coast of Scotland.
Brian Sheldon of Christie & Co says: ''The hotel was a thriving business and it is unfortunate that it had to close.
''Due to its setting and location it attracted a large percentage of repeat business from all around the globe. It was also a stopping-off place for tour operators, as the hotel lent itself to accommodating such large parties.''
The two-storey detached building stands in its own extensive grounds, approached by a private drive and bridge over the River Duror. The property consists of a restaurant, lounge, bar, residents' lounge, owners' flat, and 26 letting bedrooms - all with en-suite facilities.
''We are confident that a high level of interest will be shown by existing hoteliers who are aware of the limitless potential that the Stewart Hotel has to offer. The fact that it has not been trading is reflected in the modest asking price, making it an ideal purchase for someone who has the expertise to reinstate the hotel to its previous standing.''
The asking price is #195,000.
As an alterantive to the west Highlands, Brian Sheldon is also marketing the Sheriffmuir Inn, set in rolling countryside three miles from Dunblane.
Sheldon says: ''This is a characterful 18th Century stone building under a pitched and slate roof and is well presented throughout.''
The inn consists of a lounge bar and restaurant, along with owners' accommodation which could also be used for letting.
The asking price is #250,000.
