THE BUSINESS:
Enjoying all the considerable and private advantages of its fantastic position with little in the way of direct local competition close, The Old Church of Urquhart is situated in the superb rural location, close to the sea at the Moray renound for its never ending golden beaches nearby to the Grampian Highlands amidst Malt Whisky County. Benefiting from excellent access to the nearby main road links, this established church conversion has become an important focal point of the community in the course of many years of highly successful trading by providing all the extremely well fitted and appointed traditional free house licensed bar facilities associated with an establishment of this kind. It is a popular venue for regular civil marriages, celebrations and conferences.
Operating from substantial detached premises of real charm and character, The Old Church of Urquhart also offers a full and varied menu of classic home-cooked meals and snacks prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped catering kitchen, and served in the very pleasant surroundings of an attractively furnished lounge bar and restaurant which may accommodate up to sixty covers in style and comfort.
The property also boasts seven lovely standard (some en-suite) hotel guest rooms, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth not least with regard to considerable further development of its food trade, the possible introduction of function trade, and to possibly extending the property as the surrounding land is in excess of 2 Acres.
The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, particularly with reference to the introduction of online advertising, in order to improve upon the already impressive high levels of turnover and profitability it is achieving in the hands of the current proprietor since being established in 1998.
Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some major local, regional or indeed national operator in the licensed hotel and leisure services industry looking to significantly increase its existing share of the market by the acquisition of a substantial and superbly located additional, independent free-of-tie establishment with a valuable local name and an established customer and guest base, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing in order to show the full beauty and potential of this fantastic property.
Without doubt - one of the finest old buildings in the north of Scotland with a fascinating history...turbulent at times... starting out as a military garrison and ironically perhaps later converted into a place of peace by St Benedictine monks. Recently redeveloped, it now provides a most exclusive holiday home in Scotland. It has now been re-designed to provide guests a truly unforgettable vacation experience whilst still keeping the charm and character of this B-listed building.
Surrounded on three sides by water, Fort Augustus Abbey is set on the southern end of Loch Ness in twenty acres of beautiful mature garden grounds which extend right down to the shoreline of Loch Ness, home of the 'Water Horse' we call Nessie. The Caledonian Canal forms the western boundary and the river Tarff forms the eastern boundary. Loch Ness is just 20 minutes drive from the city of Inverness.
THE HIGHLAND CLUB includes a tennis court and cricket pitch, a club lounge with full sized snooker table with the 'Boathouse' restaurant onsite in the grounds and much more... Once the development is completed, an indoor swimming pool, spa facilities, and gym will be available for the exclusive use of Highland Club residents and visitors. The lovely, picturesque village of Fort Augustus is only a couple of hundred yards from the abbey.
