Harrison Leisure (UK) Ltd has acquired Ardlui Resort on the banks of Loch Lomond, adding one of Scotland’s best-known holiday destinations to its growing portfolio of UK parks.
The deal brings the family-run group’s total to 11 parks across the UK and follows their purchase of Crofthead Holiday Park in Ayr earlier this year. It was handled by the specialist Parks team at Colliers.
The resort, which includes a 96-pitch holiday park, 12-bedroom hotel and 100-berth marina with additional moorings, has been owned by the same family since 1978. It was brought to market due to retirement, with a guide price of offers over £7 million.
William Harrison, Director of Harrison Leisure, said, “We are absolutely thrilled that Ardlui Holiday Park and Marina on the shores of Loch Lomond is now part of the Harrison Holidays family, it boasts a hotel, bar, restaurant, lodges, glamping and an incredible marina with watersports right on the loch. This one’s special. Truly breathtaking. This is the kind of place where families create memories that last forever.”
Outgoing owner Brian Squires, who purchased the hotel in 1978, said,“We’ve had a lovely life looking after this corner of the Loch and sharing it with visitors and guests. I’m pleased that this legacy will be continued by Harrison Leisure, who has the same attitude and ethos to looking after the area as we have. We wish them the best of luck for the future.”
Richard Moss, Head of UK Parks Agency at Colliers, said, “Adlui benefits from being set in an iconic and world-renowned location on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, which provides an incredible foundation for a holiday and hospitality business.
“We are delighted to have been able to assist the clients with their retirement plans and fully expect Harrison Leisure to enjoy great success through the continuation of the existing business, alongside a programme of modernisation at one of Scotland’s best locations.”
