Otter Lodge is a fully renovated, turnkey bed and breakfast located in Broadford on the Isle of Skye, set on about 0.65 acres with striking sea and mountain views over Broadford Bay. The business has consistently high online ratings (TripAdvisor and Google 4.9/5) and operates at nearly full occupancy during the April–October season, trading below the VAT threshold. The layout is flexible with seven bedrooms (five currently let, two for owners), spacious communal breakfast/lounge areas, guest drying facilities and strong equipment provision including a dive-bottle compressor and workshop.
This is a lifestyle business with clear development upside: possibilities include extending the open season, adding shepherds’ huts on the rear land, or increasing marketing beyond the current direct-booking base. Recent full renovation means the property is presented in walk-in condition; the owners have also added a timber building for compressor/workshop use and an outdoor wood-fired bread oven adjacent to the dining area.
Practical features support an operating hospitality business: three-phase electricity, biomass pellet central heating, double glazing, extensive parking surfaced with white marble chips, and good mobile signal. The site is freehold, has STLL licensing in place (no alcohol licence), drainage to a septic tank and is in a low flood-risk location, offering a straightforward transfer for new owners.
Buyers should note material constraints: broadband speeds are described as slow, which may affect online-dependent bookings and remote working; the wider area is classified as very deprived and rural, so year-round trade is seasonal unless trading months are extended. Accounts and detailed trading figures are available to seriously interested parties following viewing.
