Description

Swanlake Guest House is an attractive ten-bedroom boutique bed and breakfast set within a traditional Edinburgh stone townhouse at 106 Ferry Road, in the popular and vibrant Leith district of the city. Combining classic period charm with a warm, inviting atmosphere, it offers an established hospitality business opportunity with substantial repeat trade and a strong local reputation.

The property extends over two and a half storeys, constructed of solid stone under a pitched slate roof with dormer extensions, complemented by a single-storey rear addition finished in brick and render under a flat felt roof. Internally, it provides generous and well-presented accommodation extending to approximately 283.2 square metres (3,049 square feet), arranged to maximise comfort and practicality for both guests and owners. The guest house offers nine letting rooms—including a mix of double, twin and family options—alongside a self-contained owner’s en-suite bedroom and lounge at ground level. Most guest rooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while additional shared bathrooms and shower rooms are well-appointed throughout. Décor is tasteful and homely, with a blend of traditional and modern finishes, timber floors, and large UPVC double-glazed windows allowing for plentiful natural light.

The communal spaces include a welcoming reception hall, breakfast and dining area, a bright lounge, and a fitted kitchen featuring tiled flooring, spot lighting, and ample workspace suitable for guest catering. Bathrooms and shower rooms are finished to a high standard with tiled walls and floors, extractor fans, and modern sanitaryware. Heating is provided by a gas-fired central system, with the property connected to mains utilities including water, gas, electricity, and drainage to the public sewer.

Externally, the guest house enjoys both a front and rear garden, offering space for relaxation as well as functional off-street parking for up to two vehicles within the slabbed garden area. A peaceful rear garden provides a pleasant aspect for several rooms and an attractive outdoor feature for visitors during summer months. The overall setting is residential and quiet, contributing to a restful environment for guests while retaining easy access to the city’s main attractions and transport links.

Swanlake Guest House occupies a highly accessible location in Leith, approximately 3 kilometres from Edinburgh Waverley Station and around 20 kilometres from Edinburgh Airport. Local bus services regularly run along Ferry Road, connecting the property directly to the city centre and the wider region. Nearby, the popular Royal Mile, St Giles’ Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens, and the Water of Leith walkway draw both UK and international visitors, ensuring a steady flow of trade throughout the year. The local area also features a range of amenities including cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and reputable schools such as Lorne Primary and Leith Academy.

The business is well established and currently leased with ana annual rent of £54,000. The guest house is recognised for its friendly service, comfortable environment, and quality breakfasts, maintaining strong reviews and a loyal customer base. With 12 months remaining on the current lease term, the subjects present an excellent turnkey opportunity for investors or owner-operators seeking a profitable hospitality venture in one of Scotland’s most sought-after tourist destinations. We understand that current turnover is in the region of £200,000 per annum. As the business is leased no accounting information is available.

Swanlake Guest House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, characterful guest house that successfully combines traditional architecture, comfortable accommodation, and a prime location within easy reach of Edinburgh’s many attractions.
