The 'stunning' Scottish Highlands village where you can buy 'breathtaking' hotel

A rare opportunity has arisen to snap up an iconic hotel in a "stunning" and "breathtaking" Scottish Highlands village.

Onich, situated along the east shore of Loch Linnhe, is beloved for its idyllic tourist appeal. It is a common stopping point amongst Scots heading out on the scenic North Coast 500 driving route, with visitors falling in love with its magnificent views.

The village lies approximately 10 miles out of Fort William, along the A82 road between the Ballachulish Bridge and Corran. Given its proximity to Ben Nevis, the area is unsurprisingly a magnet amongst outdoor sports enthusiasts — with activities such as climbing and mountain biking being especially common.

As reported by the Scottish Daily Express, Onich boasts a tight-knit community and is home to several independent shops and a post office. It also has excellent bus connectivity to Skye and Glasgow, making it easily accessible.

Accommodation in the village includes hotels like the Onich Hotel and The Lodge on the Loch, as well as an assortment of guesthouses and B&Bs. With the Glencoe mountains visible on the horizon, the village certainly makes for a picturesque staycation spot.

It is The Lodge on the Loch that is currently up for sale. The family-owned hotel is home to 21 luxurious rooms overlooking Loch Linnhe, as well as the ‘Sea Salt Cafe by the Lodge’ restaurant.

CCL Property, the agent handling the sale, describes the premises as offering "breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal acquisition for those looking to invest in a high-potential hospitality business". According to the listing, the property is available now, and "represents a unique opportunity for prospective operators".

David Pickering, a representative from CCL Property, commented: "The Lodge on the Loch is an exciting acquisition for any operator. Its stunning location, coupled with the panoramic views and the area's popularity, makes it a highly attractive investment.

"We anticipate significant interest from buyers looking to capitalise on the thriving tourism sector in the Highlands."

CCL Property "invites interested parties to explore this rare opportunity to own a piece of the Scottish Highlands". The Lodge on the Loch is available to buy for £950,000.
