The guest house attracts a variety of visitors from families to business travellers, with high demand for accommodation all year round; this has been dramatically increased by the spectacular popularity of the NC500. Free WiFi, a comfortable lounge, and high-quality services together with an extremely competitive pricing scheme add to the outstanding services on offer. The guest house offers a tranquil setting to relax and unwind in comfort and harmony. The business operates a simple Bed and Breakfast model with the average room rate staring from £70 per night.

There is a great opportunity to significantly increase revenues. The dining room is suited to cater for lunches and evening meals, particularly given the passing tourist trade on the NC 500 and large carpark that can accommodate in excess of 50 cars. In addition, the guest lounge could be transformed to create a lounge bar.

Outside there is room to construct a number of glamping pods. In addition, there is an opportunity to increase revenues further with bile and kayak rentals.

Full trading information will be made available after a formal viewing has taken place.

Accounts to the business show a healthy turnover in excess of the VAT threshold.

Adjacent to the reception is the front hall where the guest can access the guest lounge and dining room and conservatory. In total there are 30 covers.
