Built in 1904 originally as a coaching inn, the Ord Arms Hotel which is located in the expanding residential Ross-shire village of Muir of Ord is a well presented multi income hotel that sits on the Great North Road. Only a short drive north of the bustling City of Inverness and within easy reach of various tourist towns such as Beauly, Dingwall & Strathpeffer, the hotel benefits from guests travelling from or working in many outlying areas, not to mention Muir of Ord itself. Known as the gateway to Scotland’s west coast, Muir of Ord is a popular area for outdoor enthusiasts with walkers, fishermen and golfing parties regularly staying at the Ord Arms Hotel. The village can also boast as having one of the area’s finest golf courses on its doorstep. Over the years the hotel has grown from being a traditional coaching inn to the modern food, wet sales & accommodation operation that we find today. Since taking over the reins of the Ord Arms Hotel over 4 years ago our clients have invested heavily in the business and focussed on quality of service on offer which has resulted in an impressive increase in turnover. The hotel has benefited from an extensive refurbishment programme which has seen upgrading to all of the letting rooms plus the public rooms & gardens. It should be noted that subject to the usual planning approvals, the land surrounding the hotel may be suitable to build a substantial detached house on or new owners may wish to sell the land to a private developer. While an impressive level of local, corporate, tourist & sporting trade is currently enjoyed at the hotel, our clients advise now that strong foundations have been laid for new owners to build, the business is set to continue growing over the coming years. We believe that the Ord Arms Hotel represents a wonderful opportunity for a family or an existing operator to enjoy all the commercial & personal benefits, which flow from the operation of a successful highland hotel. The hotel is now offered for sale due to family circumstances.
