The Standing Stones Hotel in the Orcadian hamlet of Stenness has been brought to market at offers over £675k.
The detached traditional hotel, which was originally built in 1896, is licensed with 17 en-suite first and second floor letting rooms. The property has also been granted planning permission for a further 20 bedrooms and a large function suite.
On the ground floor, there is a reception with an office, as well as a large bar and restaurant which can accommodate over 100 covers. There is also a lounge, a commercial kitchen with a prep area and function room, which can accommodate up to 250 people.
In addition, the hotel has a new World Heritage site comprising the Ring of Brodgar, Skara Brae, the Stones of Stenness and Maeshowe in easy reach.
Orkney is an archipelago of 70 islands situated six miles from the north east tip of the Scottish mainland and is the largest of the Orkney islands, with good ferry and air connections to the British mainland.
Margaret Mitchell from DM Hall, who is overseeing the marketing process, said: “This is a great opportunity to acquire a successful, busy and readily managed hotel which, as a result of its unique location, is itself something of a landmark, and is known by reputation across much of the world.
“With the option of further expansion to meet demand, acquisition would suit an experienced, ambitious hotelier keen to live and work in one of Scotland’s most special locations. Our clients are seeking offers over £675,000 for the property, fixtures and fittings.”
