The Oliphant family said: “After arriving on Coll, the community has embraced us and supported our efforts to turn the business around and put Coll on the map. Through our passion and the help of numerous people, we have made The Coll Hotel a destination hotel and a place for great hospitality, excellent dining and plenty of entertaining craic.
“We are truly grateful to our hotel team who have embraced our vision for excellence as well as the Coll community. We are so proud of the business we have built and look forward to passing it on to people who see the future potential to make the hotel better than ever.”
The hotel is on the market, freehold, and with an asking price of offers over £1.75m.
Tony Spence, associate director, hospitality, at Christie & Co, who is managing the sale, said: “The Coll Hotel represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Scotland's most renowned destination hotels in an exceptional island setting.
