The Coll Hotel has been brought to market with an asking price of offers over £1.75m, ending more than six decades of family ownership.
Located in Arinagour on the Isle of Coll, the hotel comprises 10 en-suite guest rooms, a 60-cover restaurant overlooking Loch Eatharna, a lounge bar, landscaped gardens, outdoor dining areas, parking and a private helipad.
The hotel has remained in the Oliphant family since 1963, with owners Kevin and Julie Oliphant now deciding to sell as they retire, while Laura moves on to a new venture. The waterfront property overlooks Arinagour Bay, providing guests with access to the island’s amenities while offering views across the surrounding coastline.
The hotel has previously received VisitScotland Gold Status as well as winning Best Hotel Experience Under 20 Rooms and Best Eatery Experience at the 2022 Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards.
Tony Spence, associate director of hospitality at Christie and Co, has been instructed to market the freehold property.
Kevin and Julie Oliphant 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.”
Spence added: “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.”
