Aberdeenshire’s Station Hotel brought to market

The Station Hotel in the coastal town of Portsoy, on the Moray Firth, Aberdeenshire has been placed up for sale for offers in excess of £500,000.

Located just west of Banff, between Inverness and Aberdeen, Portsoy is regarded as a popular summer tourist destination and well-known filming location, featuring in the 2016 remake of Whisky Galore and the last season of Peaky Blinders.

The hotel offers a lounge, restaurant, games room, function suite and a bar which is very popular with regulars and tourists. The guest accommodation comprises 13 en suite letting bedrooms as well as a two-bed family suite.

The current owners, Euan Cameron and Susan Gleeson have decided to put the hotel on the market after 20 years to retire.

They said: “This is a cracking business opportunity. The hotel is spacious with four different streams of revenue with letting rooms, bar, lounge and pool room, restaurant and very large function room. We have kept up a consistently high standard and have maintained an excellent reputation for our hospitality, and this has resulted in many, many repeat guests. There is huge potential for further growth for younger, more energetic owners, perhaps with more social media focus.”

Gary Witham, hotel director at Christie and Co who is handling the sale, added: “This is a large seaside hospitality business which can be taken in various directions by a new buyer. The Station Hotel offers a real and exciting opportunity, and is a great credit to the owners who have developed it over such a long period.”
