Ewich House itself is an impressive and beautifully presented detached property, offered in true walk-in condition. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors and has been carefully designed to combine a substantial private residence with a successful bed and breakfast business, each maintaining its own distinct and separate space. The ground floor comprises a welcoming vestibule leading into a central hallway, with well-proportioned public rooms including a comfortable sitting room and formal dining room. The heart of the home is an open plan private kitchen, living and dining area, providing a bright and sociable space ideal for family living. Additional accommodation on this level includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, a rear hallway, side hallway, laundry room and separate toilet, offering flexibility and practicality.

The first floor provides six generously sized bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en-suite shower room, together with an additional separate bathroom. The layout has been carefully considered to ensure that the owners’ private living quarters remain entirely self-contained and are not compromised by the guest accommodation, allowing for a comfortable lifestyle alongside the business operation. The overall specification and presentation of the property reflect the care and attention invested by the current owners, resulting in a home of considerable charm and functionality.

Externally, the property is set within approximately four acres of mature and well-maintained grounds, featuring an attractive mix of lawns, established trees and shrubs, and a private decking area ideal for outdoor relaxation. A wood-fired hot tub further enhances the appeal, offering a luxurious feature for both owners and guests. There is ample parking provision for up to eight vehicles. Outbuildings include a substantial stone-built garage and workshop with concrete floor, timber doors, and full services including light, power and water. A timber stable, a range of garden stores, and a former outbuilding now utilised as a walled garden and log store add to the property’s versatility. Additionally, there is an old barn on site which offers potential for refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the renewal of planning consent.

Ewich House is currently operated as a highly successful bed and breakfast business, with six well-appointed letting rooms, all en-suite. The business benefits significantly from its proximity to the West Highland Way, a long-distance walking route which provides a consistent and reliable source of guests throughout the main season. The business is owner-operated and does not require additional staff, making it an attractive and manageable lifestyle venture. Room rates range from approximately £80 to £135 per night, with strong occupancy levels of around 90% between April and October, and approximately 40% in the shoulder months of March and November. The established reputation, combined with the property’s location and quality of accommodation, ensures continued demand and offers an excellent opportunity for new owners to step into a thriving and well-regarded hospitality business.
