The community of Colintraive and Glendaruel has been holding its breath these last few months, wondering what on earth will happen to the hotel. Well, it looks as if the situation might shortly be resolved: the estate agents Blair and Bryden were, of course, tight-lipped about who the purchasers were, however in response to the question, what is the purchaser’s intention, they said that ” … the hotel would be run as a business.” This is a very welcome indication for a community who at one time thought they would lose the hotel to developers or worse.
At the time the property came on the market the Colintraive and Glendaruel Community Council wrote to the vendor’s agents stating that it was essential for there to be and remain a licensed premises in the Clachan of Glendaruel, and that any withdrawal of such a facility would be strongly opposed by the community.
With the discovery of the UK’s tallest tree, the Strondardron Douglas Fir, in Glendaruel, this community in the heart of Cowal looks as if it might be turning a corner, and that the visitors who have been declining over recent years might return.
