The Alt Motel is situated in the Assynt district of West Sutherland. It is divided by the A837 single track road. It lies approx. 2 miles from Ledmore, 19 miles from Ullapool and 76 miles from Inverness. This area is an anglers and a hill walker’s paradise.
It hosts a multitude of lochs, glens, hills and mountains in a region which has often been called one of the last remaining unspoiled areas of the United Kingdom. It provides ample opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast.
Ullapool, the nearby town with a population of approximately 1,700 people, has flourished over the last few years. It also has a good supermarket and a number of other useful shops, a leisure centre, good restaurants, a swimming pool, sailing club, a 9 hole golf course and ferry services to the Outer Hebrides.
There are excellent primary and secondary schools, and because of the Motel’s somewhat remote but accessible location a coach pick-up operates daily for school pupil’s transportation.
Lochinver lies some 20 miles to the north and is a thriving fishing port. Other attractions in the area include the wonderful Summer Isles. Inverness, a vibrant, modern city, is just over an hour and a half’s drive from Loch Borradale by road. Its airport, a further 7 miles to the east, offers links to the south and parts of Europe.
The Property
The current owner enjoys an adequate income from the apartments and out of choice of lifestyle only currently operates them for six months of the year.
They are delightfully furnished and are a mix of twin & double bedroom units. There are also two family units comprising 4 beds and one 3 bed unit.
In the Apartments there are cooking facilities and refrigerators with some having microwave ovens. There are free standing wardrobes in the majority of the units and a fitted wardrobe in the larger family apartment.
All the apartments have electric heaters fitted.
There is a wonderful pub and restaurant, separately owned, within 50 metres of the Motel for customers to enjoy a hearty meal and drink should they not wish to cook themselves.
The Business
The current owner has run the Motel for the last 15 years and has enjoyed the custom of varying type of visitors from both the UK and abroad who have stayed with them. Some of whom return again and again.
The business attracts customers visiting the Highlands of Scotland, often using the Motel as a base to explore the surrounding countryside or to simply unwind and fish on the Loch for trout and the rare artic char stocked in the water.
The purchaser will be acquiring the rights to the superb wild brown trout and char fishing on Loch Borralan's 118 acres. The issuing of fishing permits and boats will be under the new owner's control. Loch Borralan has been a popular fishing Loch for centuries and the riparian authority over the water had been held exclusively by the old Altnacealgach Hotel until a disastrous fire brought about its destruction in 1985. The subsequent hotel demolition and then the building of the Motel apartments have continued this fishing tradition and the present owners have enjoyed the company of many, many hundreds of anglers during their ownership. Wild brown trout over five pounds and arctic char have been caught on Borralan's waters while fish of a pound-and-half are common and catches of over a hundred fish over the period of an anglers holiday are the norm for a keen angler who will share this wonderful water with a fantastic family of otters. Two boats are included in the sale.
Although the owners through personal choice open only from April to September we are informed there would be a demand for a longer period.
