Three Star Guest House In Inverness For Sale

Business description

We are delighted to offer for sale this popular AA 3-star accredited, 6 en-suite letting room guest house, which was established in 1990 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1999. The business is only now being placed on the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business operates all year round on a bed and breakfast only basis, and generates a turnover in the region of £40,000 with a gross profit of 65%. There is scope for a new owner to increase turnover by offering evening meals. We feel this business would also benefit from its own website with on-line booking facilities. The guest house is presented and maintained to a high standard offering a truly walk-in-and-trade opportunity. All rooms are en-suite with Freeview TVs, tea and coffee making facilities and wireless internet access is available. Our clients have advised us that a new £6,000 high efficiency boiler system has recently been installed. We feel this is an ideal opportunity to acquire a popular guest house in such a delightful location. Early viewing must come highly recommended.
