The Easiest & Most Reliable Way To Travel Across
To Sannox & The Isle of Arran
Back-road to and from Sannox Hotel completion via Green Welly Cafe/Petrol midway and then the scenic route to Claonaig Ferry Terminal avoiding the madness of Glasgow city traffic…
In two gentle parts.
.
By far the most efficient: turn up and drive on….
The MV Catriona ship is currently on the Lochranza-to-Claonaig ferry service to the Island of Arran…
.
The van run between Dundee and Sannox Hotel restarts…
To either SELL or INEXORABLY get the Restaurant + Cafe + Hotel’s 6 Guest Bedrooms + Staff/Manager Accommodation + Owner’s House (& bedroom 8) + the new Village Shop… all buildings completed and open for business.
Then via an FRI lease… the tenant pays ALL the invoices.
The landlord (UPS Group) receives a monthly cheque and NO hassle.
Our shareholders receive an exit-route through:
(i). Resale of buildings to a person/couple/business wanting to own this set of buildings, or:
(ii) One of our SIPP pension clients wanting an asset-based bricks and mortar investment (historically many previous buildings sold this way), or:
(iii). Our Shareholders receive a financial £££/$$$ dividend until the Sannox Business/Angel/Syndicate buildings are sold.
The new Sannox Hotel internet connected office is now connected as of 30th July/4th August 2025 (until Bay Cottage office areas are completed)…
Targets
(viewings by prospective buyers throughout)
(a). July 2025: Get crucial telecoms + broadband + computer systems connected.
(b). August 2025: Get utilities connected and crucially checked for safety.
(c). September 2025: Phase 1: Get hotel fit to receive shareholder guests. The least that can be done given the horrendous delays.
(d). October 2025: Get various sections completed + Building Warrant + Planning Permission + Fire Safety Certification + Environmental Health Protocol Certification in place.
(f). If the Hotel + Shop + Newbuild Bay Cottage are not sold, then locate FRI Tenants to restart the businesses and progress at pace along the historically effective SIPP exit-route.
Next architect drawing shows how access to Bay Cottage FROM the hotel, to the owner’s house Living Room can be kept private via IKEA bookcases forming a private corridor. This is important during the final renovation phase as the Bay Cottage living room gives some privacy for buyer + shareholder discussions.
For perspective, here is the new first floor with three extra guest bedrooms…
Getting back to regular access ONTO and OFF the island (whilst the main Brodick to Troon and/or Ardrossan service is still in a monumental shambles…
Here is the far more RELIABLE and RELAXED turn-up-and-go (no booking needed) back door ferry to Arran that only takes 30 minutes…

^^ Typical main Ardrossan-Brodick Ferry cancellation ^^
^^ This actual cancellation cost UPS a full week of progress at Sannox ^^
Fortunately, Paul Rutherford was able to get across the Claonaig back-door ferry and install the new spare-office computer equipment into Sannox Hotel.
