A RESORT on the banks of Loch Lomond has been put on the market for the second time in its 250-year history.
The family-owned Ardlui Resort has been with the same owners since 1959, but they have made the "difficult decision" to pack up and move after 65 years on the site.
The estate, which includes a hotel, marina and holiday park, is on the north corner of Loch Lomond and is on the market for offers over £7 million.
The hotel comprises of 12 bedrooms and dates back to the late 1700s, when it was used as a hunting lodge.
Brian Squires, who currently owns and runs the estate with his wife Anne, said "it's time" to pass it on to someone new.
Since taking over the estate, the pair have expanded what was a modest caravan park into a holiday park licensed for 96 units, with self-catering lodges and panoramic views of the loch.
"But we’ve got a railway station, a bus service, and the nearest villages are only eight miles away.
"We liked the uniqueness of having the north corner of Loch Lomond. It felt like ours.”
Richard Moss, head of UK parks agency at Colliers, which is handling the sale, commented: “This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a fully integrated hospitality and leisure operation in a truly iconic and world-renowned location.
“Resorts of this scale, history, and repeat guest loyalty simply don’t come to the market often. With its diverse income streams, from the hotel to the marina and holiday park, Ardlui offers immediate trading potential and significant opportunity for growth in the provision of high quality holiday and leisure offerings in one of Scotland’s most sought-after natural settings.”
