Turnkey B&B with 7 bedrooms, log cabin and licence for 15 guests — room to grow.
Freehold Victorian building with substantial footprint and flexible layout
Bosta Bed and Breakfast is a substantial late-Victorian freehold property on a prominent arterial route into Inverness, offered as a turnkey lifestyle business with immediate trading potential. The building provides generous, flexible space — seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms across two floors, three reception rooms and a separate, fully fitted log cabin in the garden. The guest house currently operates four letting rooms seasonally but is licensed for up to 15 guests, so there is clear capacity to increase revenue without major structural change.
The accommodation mixes well-presented letting rooms with owners’ accommodation that would benefit from cosmetic updating to reflect a new operator’s style. The property benefits from good travel links, excellent visibility, off-street parking, fast broadband and strong tourist demand in the Inverness area (close to Loch Ness and major visitor attractions). The log cabin offers an additional revenue stream or private guest suite with independent facilities.
Buyers should note material considerations: part of the building would benefit from modernisation to enhance profitability; the EPC is rated E; the business currently trades seasonally (April–October) by owner choice; and the wider area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect local demand patterns outside the tourist season. There is no dedicated website at present, representing both a short-term marketing gap and a straightforward opportunity to increase bookings.
This opportunity suits an investor or proprietor-operator who wants a ready-made B&B with immediate cashflow and tangible upside from extended trading, marketing improvements and targeted refurbishment. Full accounts and trade information will be available to serious viewers after viewing.
