A hotel overlooking one of Scotland’s most photographed beauty spots has gone on the market.
The Falls of Dochart Inn, which takes its name from a wide area of waterfalls opposite the building, is being offered for £1.25 million.
In addition to the roadside hotel, which is in Killin, buyers will get the self-catering Falls Cottage and land with planning permission for several new lodges.
Alistair Letham, of selling agents Colliers International, said: “This is the property immediately overlooking the iconic falls at Killin, and that in itself ensures it is of particular interest to ambitious hoteliers.
“The Falls of Dochart is trading very profitably after 16 years of investment from the existing owners, and there is additional scope to extend the season.
“Additionally, it is being sold with a sizeable area of land included – plans have been prepared and planning permission has been granted to build two holiday lodges, behind the existing self-catering property, Falls Cottage.
“The availability of the Falls of Dochart Inn and Falls Cottage offers new owners an excellent opportunity to acquire an established and rewarding business, with significant additional scope, including the development of the lodges.”
The current owners bought the Inn in 2001 and have upgraded the seven-bedroomed property.
The bar, restaurant and coffee shop can seat 80 people, with a further 40 outside in the summer.
Staff and owners’ accommodation is also included in the sale.
Unusual feature
Overlooked by the hotel, the Falls form part of the river Dochart , which flows into the western end of Loch Tay.
In the centre of the river, and right outside the Inn, is the tiny island of Innis Bhuide, which is linked to both riverbanks by a bridge.
The island is highly unusual, in that it serves as the ancient burial ground of the MacNab clan.
One of the most recent interments on the island was the 23rd Chief of the Clan Macnab, James Charles Macnab of Macnab, who died in 2013.
