LOCATION
Situated in the highly desirable township of Treaslane, just a short drive from Portree, Auchendinny Guest House enjoys a prime trading location on the world-renowned Isle of Skye.
Benefiting from excellent access to the island’s most popular visitor attractions, the property is ideally positioned to capitalise on Skye’s thriving tourism market, offering an exceptional opportunity to establish or expand a hospitality business in one of Scotland’s premier visitor destinations.
The location is also well suited to families, with access to local schooling including MacDiarmid Primary School and Portree High School, further enhancing its appeal for owner-operators seeking a lifestyle and business opportunity.
THE PROPERTY
Auchendinny Guest House is a substantial detached timber-frame property with a rendered exterior beneath a pitched tiled roof. The guest accommodation comprises six well-appointed en-suite letting bedrooms, together with a comfortable guest lounge, breakfast room and a fully equipped commercial kitchen.
The owners’ accommodation is situated within a private south wing, providing clear separation from the guest areas. This self-contained section includes a bedroom with en-suite bathroom, lounge, office and separate shower room, offering spacious and practical living accommodation for owner-operators.
PUBLIC AREAS
Guest Lounge (approx 4.68m x 4.17m)
From the entrance vestibule, the spacious and comfortable guest lounge enjoys a picture window and patio doors opening to the garden, creating a bright and welcoming space and offering a clean blank canvas for personalisation. Sliding doors lead through to the breakfast room.
Breakfast Room (approx. 4.17m x 6.03m)
The breakfast room is a generously proportioned space featuring a large picture window, wooden flooring and a feature fireplace with a coal fire. There is ample room for freestanding tables and chairs, as well as a sofa and breakfast servery tables. Doors provide access to the kitchen and the owners' wing.
Commercial Kitchen (approx. 3.20m x 6.03m)
The commercial kitchen is fitted with a commercial-standard range cooker and extractor hood, together with two separate wash-up areas with sinks and a dedicated handwash basin. A freestanding stainless-steel worktop table provides additional preparation space, and the kitchen includes all expected commercial appliances, creating a practical and well-equipped catering environment.
The public areas include a shower room and an entrance vestibule with an additional shower room, which also provides access to the guest lounge. A corridor leads through to the letting rooms and includes a useful storage cupboard.
LETTING BEDROOMS
