Historic 30-Bedroom Country House Hotel in 6.5 Acres, For Sale

Graham + Sibbald are delighted to bring to market the Shieldhill Castle Hotel, Shieldhill Road, Quothquan, Biggar, Lanarkshire, ML12 6NA, For Sale.

Shieldhill Castle Hotel is an outstanding 30-bedroom country house hotel located in in the rolling rural countryside of South Lanarkshire where accessibility is the key. The hotel is within an hour’s drive of both Edinburgh and Glasgow plus access to the M74, at the Abington junction is only 20-minutes away.

A house has stood at Shieldhill on its present site overlooking the Clyde Valley and Lanarkshire hills, for over 800 years. It originally dates back to 1199, and parts of the original remain, but it is the 18th and 19th Century additions to the main property that predominate. The house has been occupied since 1560, mainly by the Chancellor family, who it was that sold the property in 1959. It was then that Shieldhill metamorphosed into hotel use

The hotel itself is grand, with 16-bedrooms located in the hotel and additional accommodation within the Stable Block (10-bedrooms) and 2 Chalets (4-bedrooms), plus there is also a 3-bedroom house on site. There is an attractive range of public areas, in the hotel, to suit a variety of uses and guests and there is a marquee for weddings & functions. Externally, the hotel boasts tranquil tree lined grounds of c.6.5 acres with lawns and an ornamental pond; plus the ‘Nelson Mandela’ tree commemorating his visit in 1997.
