They said, “After arriving on Coll in 1984, the community has embraced us and supported our efforts to turn the business around and put Coll on the map. Through our passion and the help of numerous people, we have made The Coll Hotel a destination hotel and a place for great hospitality, excellent dining and plenty of entertaining craic.
“We are truly grateful to our hotel team who have embraced our vision for excellence as well as the Coll community. We are so proud of the business we have built and look forward to passing it on to people who see the future potential to make the hotel better than ever.”
Tony Spence, Associate Director – Hospitality at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, commented, “The Coll Hotel represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Scotland's most renowned destination hotels in an exceptional island setting.
Having been in the same family ownership for over 60 years, the business has built an outstanding reputation for hospitality, dining, and guest experience, reflected in its industry accolades and loyal customer base. With its stunning waterfront location, established trading history, and scope for further growth, we expect strong interest from a range of buyers seeking a unique hospitality asset in the Highlands and Islands.”
The Coll Hotel is on the market freehold with an asking price of offers over £1,750,000.
