Delightful B&B and Lodge offering an investment opportunity on the idyllic Isle of Skye.Easy-to-operate and flexible business model offering a genuine income opportunity.3 attractive B&B bedrooms and log cabin lodge with private parking and grounds.Fantastic location with opportunities to develop further.Located centrally on the popular Isle of Skye. DESCRIPTION This delightful property is located on the west coast of Skye, close to the Cuillins in fact taking its name from one of the local Red Cuillin peaks. Set in stunning coastal countryside with fantastic views to the north west over the sheltered Loch Harport. Both the house and the lodge are very well equipped and benefit from tasteful modern decor throughout. The owners have taken every opportunity to ensure that guests are very comfortable in the accommodation provided. Marsco is located centrally within the area of Merkdale and is ideally positioned for exploring this stunning island. The location benefits from being in a quiet area but only a very short drive back to the main road infrastructure of the island. The property benefits from private grounds and free private parking. The business has been operating profitably for a number of years. TRADE The business generates its income from bed and breakfast clientele in the ever-popular tourist Isle of Skye. The historic business operates by utilising a number of portal websites to drive occupancy. The vender will be happy to provide any trading figures present (and future secured) to support the sale. Given the popularity of the region as a tourist destination, and the well-known shortage of tourist accommodation during the height of the tourist season in the area, there is little doubt that new owners of the business should have access to a great level of income. Whilst the B and B;s website is currently dormant Otter Lodge Log Cabin utilises its own dedicated website through its agent, cottages.com and the owner's own website. Other automated booking systems, such as freetobook may offer further business development opportunities. The Bed and Breakfast operated throughout the year and was fully operational until COVID set in. Since then, the owners opted to only operate Otter Lodge in order to limit their exposure to the pandemic and reduce the resulting increase in workload the pandemic brought. However, the winter trade has proven significantly successful with tradesmen booking accommodation throughout these months. The accounts are therefore available which support both two trading options with pre-COVID and post COVID trading model figures being available. It should be noted that the owners originally used the ground floor bedroom and later their touring caravan when the 3 first floor bedrooms of the B&B were let out. LOCATION Marsco lies centrally on the Isle of Skye, making it a perfect location to access all areas of Skye. To the south there is Sleat, the 'Garden of Skye' with magnificent views over the sea to the mainland, the Morar hills beyond and the Small Isles to the south. To the North is there is Waterish and Trotternish with views out to the Atlantic and Outer Hebrides. Portree is 17 miles away and approx. 20 minutes away, with Broadford being 23 miles away and approx. 30 minutes away and Dunvegan being 20 miles away and approx. 26 minutes away Marsco can be accessed either from the Skye Road bridge or via a ferry from Mallaig to Armadale. To the South are the Red and Black Cuillins, the Black Cuillin mountain ridge has some of the most challenging features in Scotland. It is 11 kilometres long, over 3000 feet in places and contains 11 Munros and 16 other peaks. To the north is the Trotternish ridge which is part of a geological formation and has many pinnacles, including the world-famous Old Man of Storr. This makes Skye a mecca to mountaineers who seek such a rare challenge. The Isle of Skye has a population of circa 13,000 in one of the fastest growing rural areas in Scotland. Carbost is a village on the south-west shore of Loch Harport on the Minginish peninsula. The presence of the Talisker Distillery draws tourists to the area in the summer and is also one of the main employers in the village along with the local pub, The Old Inn. The village has a community run grocery & provisions store and a coffee shop. To the north of the distillery, Carbost Waterfront provides access to the water via a Pier, slipway & pontoons. Moorings are provided for residents and visitors with fishing boats, yachts & other recreational craft. These facilities are maintained by a community company which is expanding the facilities, including mains water to the pier & pontoons. English language nursery and primary schools are located at Carbost, with Gaelic and secondary education being provided in Portree at Bun-sgoil Ghaidhlig and the High School respectively. Carbost is a genuinely beautiful place and the surrounding area has a quintessential appeal for tourists as an established holiday destination. The local waters in the area are used by fishing boats, pleasure craft and a range of water sports enthusiasts. The broader area boasts a wide range of activities that can be undertaken such as golf, guided mountaineering, cycling, nature walks and fly fishing to name but a few. The Fairy Pools are a natural waterfall phenomenon in local Glen Brittle and are well known as a local natural attraction. The pools are a vivid aqua blue and are a popular place for wild swimmers who brave the frigid waters. In addition, there are many hill lochs offering the angler an opportunity to catch spectacular native wild brown trout. The Island is highly popular with naturalists and ornithologists who find birds of prey, waders and a host of seabirds in the locality. For those wishing to undertake a boat trip, seals, harbour seals or grey seals can be seen with dolphins and porpoise becoming more regular visitors to this coastline. In recent years Torbhaig Distillery has added a new dimension to the peninsula. THE PROPERTY This delightful property was built around 2001 and bought by the current owners in 2007.

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES The current set up would allow a purchaser to enjoy a true lifestyle business in a delightful family home whilst continuing to let out Otter Lodge. However, other opportunities are available such as: Reintroducing Marsco as a Bed and Breakfast business. Given the shortage of accommodation on Skye this should be lucrative. Reviewing how the facilities are marketed, possibly with the introduction of other online booking websites. REASON FOR SALE The present owners bought the house in 2007 as a lifestyle business, as the previous owner had offered B&B. They developed the property with the introduction of the lodge and developed the business to the level it is now.

Applecross retains a character of outstanding natural beauty in a timeless place apart. Applecross Manse sits about a mile outside the village of Applecross, in a pretty hamlet called Camusterrach, just off the NC500, and is one of 10 or so crofting townships on the Applecross Peninsula. This period property is an exceptional family home, set within a private secluded location enjoying stunning views over the Sounds of Raasay toward Skye and the dramatic Cuillin Mountain Range. There is much to explore and enjoy within walking distance. The mountains behind the Manse provide magnificent views across the bay to the Isle of Skye, and just beyond Glastullach is Loch a'Mhinisteir, the private fishing loch of the Manse reserved for the Church Minister. To the front of the villa, there are beautiful walks around the bay to Ardubh and to the coral beaches of its hinterland. The wildlife visitors include dolphin, porpoise, the White Tailed Eagle, Otter, and the ever popular Pine Marten. Its coastal position means Camusterrach and the property enjoys spectacular sunsets all year round, and with little light pollution it is a wonderful spot to see the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights). The Applecross Peninsula, accessed via the famous Bealach Na Ba mountain pass or coastal road from Shieldaig, is famed for its abundance of wildlife and birdlife and stunning beaches. A particular favourite is Coral Beach, which is a short walk from the Manse; a remote white sandy beach with breath taking views, it is an ideal place for swimming and picnics. Applecross offers 2 well established restaurants; the lovely Walled Garden Restaurant and the popular and well-known Applecross Inn, famed for its fresh seafood, waterfront beer garden and the Applecross Inn-side out Airstream. A little further afield there are many other renowned places to eat including The Torridon Hotel, which has been recognised for its fine dining. Applecross has a buzzing community life and boasts a local store for a post office and supplies, a highly respected community company, community owned filling station, excellent community broadband, a resident local doctor, a helipad for emergencies, community allotments, a gym, historical society and 3 churches. The vibrant community hall hosts a range of regular events such as yoga, school activities, community council meetings, lunch club, strupags and ceilidhs. Also available to the community are Tesco's deliveries, 2 weekly fish vans and a weekly grocer/butcher van. Applecross has a highly regarded preschool and flourishing primary school with children having access to a forest school and a Gaelic medium facility. High school is available in nearby Plockton with weekly transport provided. For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses/for-sale_i71519899

LOCATION The delightful village of Strathpeffer is located 4 miles (6 km) west of Dingwall in the strath of the River Peffery in the beautiful rural setting of Easter Ross-shire. In the Victorian era, Strathpeffer became popular as a spa resort, owing to the discovery of sulphurous springs in the 18th century. The pump-room in the middle of the village dates from 1819.

Cambusmore Lodge is in a beautiful secluded setting close to Dornoch in Sutherland. property comprises a handsome Victorian lodge with a self-contained cottage set in established, manageable grounds.Surrounded by its own land of gardens and mature broadleaf woodland, the lodge has elevated south-facing views over Loch Fleet National Nature Reserve. In this exceptional coastal setting the property has a framed outlook to a protected landscape providing a habitat for rare species of native wildlife including otters, seals, curlews and osprey.Although in a peaceful and unspoilt location, Cambusmore Lodge is easily accessible and is an ideal base from which to enjoy the area. Sutherland is known for its beautiful coastline, dramatic landscape and dry climate, and this peaceful region offers many activities for the outdoor enthusiast. Dornoch, with its famous golf course, is just a short drive away and has a good range of shops and amenities as well as schooling up to secondary level, while nearby Tain has a number of majorsupermarkets. Inverness, about a one hour and 15 minute drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe. Formerly a shooting lodge on the Sutherland Estate, the house was part of Cambusmore Estate which was sold in 2021. The new estate owners have undertaken a programme of planting the land with native woodland through a government led initiative to combat climate change and biodiversity loss. The lodge doesn't form part of this vision and so is now being sold to enable new owners to reinstate the house to its former glory whether as a residential property, holiday letting enterprise or events venue. Although occupied until 2021, the house is in a poor state of repair and is now in need of full renovation. However, it is an excellent example of a late Victorian shooting lodge, retaining its grandeur and many original features. It is rare for a house of this quality to be sold from an estate and it offers an exceptional residential or commercial opportunity.ACCOMMODATIONTHE LODGE Ground Floor Entrance Hall. Drawing Room.
