Description

Location

The Wide Mouthed Frog is situated within Dunstaffnage Marina, Dunbeg and around three miles north of Oban on the main A85 trunk road and bus route. Glasgow is around 95 miles south east of Dunbeg and Glencoe around 30 miles north. Citylink buses run several services throughout the day with the average journey taking just under three hours.

There is also a reliable train service from Oban to Glasgow via the West Highland line. There was an average of 490,000 overnight tourism visits between 2022 and 2024 in Argyll and the Isles resulting in an associated expenditure of £165m.

Internal Details

Entry is provided via the courtyard to the front. A fixed wooden bar is opposite as you enter with a pool table to the right. The restaurant is to the left and can accommodate around 20.

A door to the rear leads to a further 30 covers with this room offering uninterrupted views over the marina. The room has been tastefully decorated with an exposed stone wall and a wood burning stove. Customer toilets are located to the rear of this room.

There is a small office to the rear of the bar which leads to the main cellar and has ample storage throughout.

Seven letting rooms can be accessed from the rear of the bar and restaurant, these are all modern and are a variety of doubles, twins and a single.

Fixtures & Fittings

The ingoing tenant will benefit from the use of the existing fixtures and fittings. Any personal items will be removed prior to completion.

Letting Accommodation

There are 10 en suite letting rooms, several with views overlooking Dunstaffnage Marina. All rooms are clean and modern with tea/coffee making facilities. They are a combination of doubles and twins.

External Details

A bungalow style property with painted stone under a pitched and slated roof. There is outside seating with tables and chairs for around 20.

A large customer car park can easily accommodate around 30 cars.

Detached lodge style property with three letting rooms and detached owner's accommodation.

The Opportunity

A great opportunity for a motivated operator who is prepared to grow an already established business. The Wide Mouthed Frog currently trades as a bar and restaurant with rooms with a varied menu to include Cullen skink, steak pie and curries.

Currently, only Airbnb is used so there is huge potential to extend the reach of your audience by listing on Booking.com and other various OTA's. This would significantly increase the existing accommodation turnover.

Our clients trade with the current operating hours to suit their needs however, these could be extended easily and especially during the summer months. Our clients social media is also limited and therefore offers an opportunity for an ingoing operator to improve the online presence to drive turnover.

The Wide Mouth Frog has generated good reviews across both Google and Airbnb.
