Solar panels and EV charging; EPCs rated C for both units

Garage, driveway parking, covered deck to the lodge with sea views
Set on the west coast of the Isle of Skye, Marsco and Otter Lodge combine a five-bedroom family home with a separate, well-equipped Nordic-style log cabin. The site enjoys elevated coastal and loch views, private parking, garage and substantial informal grounds with direct access down to the water. Solar panels and an EV charging point help reduce running costs, and the properties have C-rated EPCs.
The business has traded profitably in the past and Otter Lodge remains a high-scoring holiday unit on booking platforms, offering an immediate income stream. The house is configured for flexible use — currently arranged with ground-floor accommodation and three first-floor letting bedrooms — so a purchaser can operate year-round B&B, let the lodge only, or combine personal use with holiday letting.
Practical considerations are straightforward: mains electricity, water and phone are connected, foul drainage is by septic tank and both buildings are served by separate oil central heating systems (LPG for cooking). Broadband and mobile signals are average in this remoter community. The property is available freehold and offered with vacant possession.
Drawbacks to factor in: there is only one bathroom for the five-bedroom main house which will restrict higher-capacity letting without modification. The property sits in a remote, very deprived area where local services are limited; seasonal demand is strong but can be variable. On-site drainage and fuel systems (septic tank, oil heating, LPG) may require ongoing maintenance or upgrading depending on future use.
