Property description
The Whitebridge Hotel is a most substantial and attractive business set within the region of Stratherrick, close to the Highland capital Inverness, benefitting from a dramatic and tranquil trading location in a spectacular setting. The property has a long history and was previously known as the King?s House which was destroyed by fire and subsequently re-built in 1899, in a style reflective of the Victorian era. Located some 3 miles from Loch Ness, the area presents some of the most stunning scenery in the Highlands. Within the foothills of the Monadhliath Mountains and with the meandering River Fechlin on the edge of the subjects, the Hotel boasts a most peaceful outlook.
A most delightful aspect of this sale is a modern detached 6-bedroom house built in 2009. Access to this family home is via a courtyard which has a large single farm gate. The house could accommodate an extended family or could be used for staff accommodation.
The village of Whitebridge is situated just three miles from the shore of Loch Ness and has unspoilt views of the surrounding mountains. The Hotel is located on the B862, Inverness to Fort Augustus route which runs parallel to Loch Ness? south shore leading to the villages of Foyers and Dores. This lesser well-used route along Loch Ness has a rugged backdrop and is dotted with numerous Lochs which appeal to a wide range of tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. This idyllic setting attracts a regular stream of visitors throughout the year who are also drawn by the mystical appeal of Loch Ness. The enchanting scenery coupled with the abundance of wildlife encourages field sportsmen, naturalists and ornithologists alike. The region has many holiday homes, lodges, campsites and B&Bs which adds to the Hotels footfall. Many take advantage of the challenging hills and loch walks in the region whilst the more sedate sightseer may visit the many places of historic and cultural interest. The region is popular with those who wish to undertake touring holidays to the Cairngorms, Fort William, the West Coast and Northern Highlands. Many social and welfare services are situated in Fort Augustus and Inverness.
