Loch Lomond estate and Ardlui Hotel on the market for £7million

The estate, which includes a hotel, marina and holiday park, is on the north corner of Loch Lomond and is on the market for offers over £7 million.

Brian Squires, who currently owns and runs the estate with his wife Anne, said “it’s time” to pass it on to someone new.

Since taking over the estate, the pair have expanded what was a modest caravan park into a holiday park licensed for 96 units, with self-catering lodges and panoramic views of the loch.

Brian said: “It’s one of the nicest places you could be. The views are wonderful. It’s a standalone place, not really a village.

“But we’ve got a railway station, a bus service, and the nearest villages are only eight miles away.

“We liked the uniqueness of having the north corner of Loch Lomond. It felt like ours.”

Richard Moss, head of UK parks agency at Colliers, which is handling the sale, commented: “This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a fully integrated hospitality and leisure operation in a truly iconic and world-renowned location.

“Resorts of this scale, history, and repeat guest loyalty simply don’t come to the market often.

“With its diverse income streams, from the hotel to the marina and holiday park, Ardlui offers immediate trading potential and significant opportunity for growth in the provision of high quality holiday and leisure offerings in one of Scotland’s most sought-after natural settings.”
