According to its website, The Lodge on the Loch specialises in offering breaks and hosting weddings and events.

In the online listing, estate agent CCL says the business is currently being run “to suit the needs of the owners and does not reflect the potential that the business has to offer.”

“However it is a highly profitable business, even though it trades in a reduced capacity,” they add.

When The Press and Journal contacted the hotel this evening, we were told that it is still open and that the plan is to continue running the business until someone buys it.
