Hospitality for sale

Resurrected from a ruinous state in the 1980s Barmore Steading is a truly wonderful piece of Victorian architecture which, it is believed, was designed by the eminent architect, Sir William Playfair, who was responsible for some of the most prestigious buildings in Scotland, including much of Edinburgh’s New Town. Barmore Steading is in the most beautiful of surroundings at the top end of Glenralloch which leads from West Loch Tarbert to the famous Loch Fyne. Barmore consists of 6 self-catering properties and over 10 acres of land. There is currently planning permission for the erection of 5 dwelling houses on the land; however, the land would be suitable to take great advantage of the location and the boom in tourism by creating, among other ideas, a chalet, glamping or camping site. Barmore Steading has been in operation for many years, firstly as a restaurant and bar and latterly as a holiday let business. The sale of Barmore Steading is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a wonderful lifestyle business with great potential on the West Coast of Scotland.

This business / property is offered on the Scottish equivalent of Freehold.

An inventory will be compiled to detail all items of a personal nature excluded from the sale and the items that are subject to separate negotiation, this will be available to all parties wishing to offer.

Barmore Steading is situated near the quaint village of Tarbert, serving as the entry point to the Kintyre peninsula. Tarbert boasts a vibrant community life, hosting Scotland's largest sailing regatta and various festivals. The village offers a range of amenities, including independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, alongside essential services like supermarkets and banks.

Residents can access education from nursery to secondary level in Tarbert, while outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy activities such as golfing, cycling, sailing, and fishing. Tarbert's strategic location as the last stop before the ferry to Islay makes it popular among overnight visitors, with Campbeltown, known for its distilleries and airport with connections to Glasgow and beyond, located nearby.

The town of Lochgilphead, about 14 miles north, serves as the regional hub, providing essential facilities like a hospital, sports center, and supermarkets. Situated around 100 miles from Glasgow, the journey to Lochgilphead offers stunning Scottish landscapes.

Barmore Steading currently operates as a lifestyle business to suit the needs of the owners. With three 2-bedroom cottages and three 1-bedoom cottages it operates from Easter through to the end of October. Prices range from £140 to £200 per night. The accommodation is exceptionally popular with tourists exploring the Kintyre Peninsula and Barmore benefits greatly from its excellent reviews, reputation, and good repeat business. The business is run with the assistance of 2 part time members of staff as and when required. There is a great opportunity for new owners to significantly increase revenues or change the direction of the business. Barmore has previously successfully been run as a bar and restaurant and it would be relatively straightforward to re-establish a restaurant with rooms, which is proving to be a very popular and successful business model. The carpark and entrance have been created to cater for a substantial hospitality venue. Barmore would also make a great events venue with its large lawns suitable for the erection of a marquee. At the rear of the property is 10 acres of land which currently has planning permission for the erection of 5 dwelling houses. The site would be suitable for a camping/caravan site; development of bespoke glamping pods or chalets to enhance the hospitality business. There are endless opportunities for Barmore Steading.
