Colliers International has sold the Kincraig Castle Hotel, Tomich, Invergordon, Ross-shire, the former ancestral home of the Clan Mackenzie. The luxury 4 star 15-bedroom hotel, which features crow step gables, ornamental turrets and stone mullions, is set in over ten acres of private grounds and offers spectacular views of the Cromarty Firth.
Nairn-headquartered Grant Hotels Limited, which acquired the hotel from Wickman Hotels Limited, is set to build on Kincraig Castle’s reputation as a favourite Highlands of Scotland destination. The hotel has a range of elegant public rooms and restaurants, lounges and bar, and holds an AA 4 Star Quality Standard Award, a 2 AA Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence, alongside a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2013.
Planning consent was previously granted to convert the former steading buildings, alongside Kincraig Castle, which could see the development of additional bedroom accommodation and a state-of-the-art conference and function facility.
Alistair Letham, a director with selling agent Colliers International, commented: “Kincraig Castle Hotel is an outstandingly attractive, typically Scottish, property and its quality of product and service is reflected in its numerous awards. The business has enjoyed year-on-year growth, boosted by the excellent commercial business centred on the Cromarty Firth area, which should offer further opportunities for growth in 2014 and beyond.”
