The Dunvegan hotel – a world-renowned golfing hotel in St Andrews – has been put on the market for just under £3m.
The property, which is just over 100m from the Old Course golf course, has played host to over 30 major golf championships and has welcomed actors Clint Eastwood and Sean Connery, as well as former president George W Bush and astronaut Neil Armstrong.
Described as the one of the’ best hangouts in the world of golf’, the hotel has been owned and operated for more than 22 years by golf fans Jack Willoughby, a Texan, and his Scottish wife Sheena.
The hotel is now being sold due to the Willoughby’s deciding to retire.
Sheena Willoughby said: “We’ve had the time of our lives running the hotel and have loved meeting and hosting so many golfers, golfing celebrities and our true core customers, the not-so-famous golfing visitors, alike.
“You just can’t describe the atmosphere at the height of the season but the place just seems to have a magnetic pull on people from all four corners of the world.”
Linda Black, Pagan Osborne’s head of property sales Fife, which is marketing the hotel, said: “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to live the golfing dream at the heart of the sport’s birthplace.
“We believe the hotel, which is so well-loved around the world, will appeal to a whole range of potential buyers from individuals or couples like Sheena and Jack, to groups of friends, syndicates or business investors who appreciate its heritage and superb setting.”
