Fraid KF is slow with the news as I read about the sale of the Keil hotel on another forum last year(which is ofcourse last week)

So if its not just idle gossip - is it going to be re-opened as a hotel again or are there other plans?

You could, of course, shared your wisdom with us last year Bill.

So folks, if it isn't a rumour, what is the story?

(PS - Bill, which Forum was it on so we can do more digging)

I'd be interested to hear any more news on this too.

Always thought, if I won the Euro-Millions I'd buy the site and do it up. Big shame to see it decaying. Hopefully this will turn things around

word has it a local southend man has bought the place , cant say his name that would not be fair on him

Worst kept secret in Kintyre

Never saw the Keil in full flight as a hotel, but would have love to have done back in its hayday. Be nice to see the building brought back to life, no matter what it becomes, as its a shame to see such buildings lay rotting.

kind regards Jeff

Some pics here of the recent condition of the hotel:

I did go in the hotel when I was around 12 (1977 ish) when it was still open. From what I can remember, it needed refurbishing, though it must have been at the end of its life.

Looking forward to hearing about the plans for the building.
