Re: Tomdoun Hotel

I'll drink to that!

The decline in the place in recent years has been sad to see, infuriating even. The bunkhouse at the Tomdoun wasn't brilliant but it provided low cost accommodation...and you could nip into the hotel for beer & food. Sadly that was closed 8-9 years ago.

Fingers crossed that it works out for the new owners - and Challengers too of course.

Re: Tomdoun Hotel

The bunkhouse was fine it you were in the room with a fire. The one with no fire was just horrible ...

Still, it would be nice to se it working again though I do wonder whether that location can ever prove to be profitable enough :-(

Re: Tomdoun Hotel

About 6 of us crammed in to the bunkhouse in 2012 at the end of Stormy Sunday and very grateful we were too. I say crammed because a lot of the hotel's furniture had been stored in there, but it was open, had a roof, bit of a fire, you get the idea….

Re: Tomdoun Hotel

I spoke with an ex-colleague who lives in Glen Garry last week. He said the local rumours are that a sale has been agreed but there are legal difficulties in completing it because of various undocumented sales of bits of land around the hotel - no one is quite sure who owns what.

He would not predict when these might be resolved.

Re: Tomdoun Hotel

Hotel still closed and unsold as of the date of this message. I live a mile away and have heard all the rumours going. I do not see anything happening soon, and worry that it may never re-open as a hotel. I'll post again here if there is any interest in your hearing the rumours.
