The future looks bright again for the Sannox Bay Hotel after it was bought by a Scottish company which specialises in bringing closed hotels back to life.
It is the fifth in a series of hotel purchases by propetry co-operative the Real Dragons’ Den and member Russ McLean, who grew up on Arran, plans to return home to oversee its restoration.
Since 1999 some 27 closed-down buildings have been refurbished and reopened by the Real Dragons’ Den team to date. The group completed the purchase of the Sannox hotel last month after seeing it advertised for sale in the Banner at the end of last year.
