Business Details

Old Pines Hotel & Restaurant is a successful dinner, bed and breakfast (DBB) business with a strong reputation for hospitality, comfort, and quality dining. Owned and operated by Ken and Imogen Dalley since 2004, the business is now offered for sale as they prepare for retirement.

The owners are fully involved in front-of-house operations, supported by a loyal team. The kitchen is led by a head chef, with a sous chef and kitchen porter, both of whom are accommodated on site. Front of house and housekeeping are supported by two full-time cleaning staff and additional seasonal help.

Guests are typically leisure travellers, walkers, or small groups, many of whom return year after year. The emphasis is on providing a complete Highland experience – restful accommodation, high-quality dining, and personal service – all within a peaceful and scenic setting.

Turnover has grown year on year, driven by a strategic focus on DBB packages and incremental pricing improvements.

The hotel offers seven comfortable letting bedrooms, all en-suite, and each thoughtfully presented in a warm and inviting Highland style. The mix includes two family rooms, one twin room and four doubles, providing flexibility for a broad range of guest requirements.

All rooms are located on the ground floor, many with views towards the gardens and Ben Nevis. Guest areas also include a reception area, comfortable lounge with wood-burning stove, and a spacious dining room used for both breakfast and evening service.

Location

The hotel occupies a prime Highland location just north of Spean Bridge, with far-reaching views to the Ben Nevis range. The property is located off the A82, providing excellent road links to Fort William (20 minutes) and Inverness (1 hour 30 minutes). Spean Bridge also benefits from a railway station on the West Highland Line.

Old Pines is uniquely positioned as the closest hotel to the Commando Memorial, one of the most visited heritage landmarks in the Highlands. The site holds significant emotional and historical value and draws a high level of year-round visitor traffic.

The hotel also lies adjacent to the Great Glen Way, one of Scotland’s most popular long-distance walking routes. Stretching 117 km from Fort William to Inverness, the trail attracts thousands of walkers and cyclists annually. Old Pines is perfectly placed to accommodate Great Glen travellers seeking quality, comfort, and excellent food.

This combination of setting, accessibility and proximity to landmark attractions underpins the hotel’s enduring appeal and future potential.
