Bruce & Co. are pleased to announce the sale of the Sands Hotel, located in the village of Burray, on the Island of Orkney. The area in which the hotel stands is renowned for its rich archaeological heritage, as well as its regular tourist destinations – making the hotel an attractive business prospect.
The Sands Hotel, Bar & Restaurant is an upgraded building, detached and full of old world charm and contemporary style, having being updated and modernised to a very high standard by the present owners. The hotel is spacious and has a ‘’cosy’’ feel. Having been owned by the clients for many years, the hotel offers guests a very high standard of comfort in a formal yet friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
The hotel regularly caters for small weddings and formal banquets, as well as informal buffets or special occasions. Scope also exists for further outdoor and ‘Al fresco’ dining within the grounds. The cooking is all conducted on the premises and a small part of the business is also engaged in outside catering – a fantastic opportunity for expansion by the new owner.
In total, sale completion only took three months; which is credit to the work Bruce & Co. carry out each day to facilitate business sale transactions as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The freehold interest sold for £475,000.
