Stronsay Hotel In Stronsay Orkney For Sale

Business description

The island of Stronsay is situated in amongst the Orkney isles off the north coast of Scotland. Stronsay is around 13 square miles and has a resident population in the region of 350 people. Stronsay Hotel is the focal point of the community and therefore trades successfully all year round. Although the current proprietors operate the business on a leisurely basis to suit their own requirements, the hotel is still generating healthy profits and seeing an increasing turnover year on year. However, due to ill health the business has now been reluctantly placed on the market.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to get away from the noise and bustle of a city to a completely difference lifestyle and be part of an island community.
