A family-owned hotel in West Fife has been sold for “significantly above the asking price”.

The hotel received strong interest “due to the high occupancy rates and steady levels of trade”.

Agent Drysdale and Company said: “We are pleased to announce the successful sale of The Hillpark Hotel in Rosyth, renowned for its naval dockyard, shipbuilding heritage, and proximity to Fife and Edinburgh.

“Drysdale and Company were appointed to market the freehold interest, as the owner sought to consolidate their portfolio. The sale achieved a figure significantly above the asking price of £780,000.

“We had a lot of interest in this one due to the high occupancy rates and steady levels of trade from both leisure customers and contractors.”
