Established, profitable business on the Great Glen Way for growth-focused buyers.
Turnkey guesthouse with five ground-floor en-suite rooms
Kilmore Farmhouse Guest House is a turnkey hospitality business on the Great Glen Way, presented in excellent, newly renovated condition. The detached property sits in generous gardens on the edge of Drumnadrochit and currently offers five ground-floor en-suite guest rooms plus separate first-floor owners’ accommodation. A wood-clad trailer on site supplies ice cream and doughnuts, adding immediate ancillary income.
The business benefits from steady walker and tourist footfall, planning permission for a glamping pod (ref 21/04472/FUL), fast broadband, EV charging, and substantial outbuildings including a barn-style shed with roller door, power, drying room and large freezer. The layout and high-standard kitchen make the operation genuinely turnkey; full accounts will be provided after viewing.
Notable constraints are factual: the business currently trades seasonally (closed from October), the short-term letting licence runs until 21 August 2027, and the property’s EPC is rated E. The business has historically traded below the VAT threshold and currently operates without employed staff, so there is clear scope for an incoming owner to expand trading months, diversify markets, or grow staffing to increase turnover.
This opportunity suits an investor or hospitality operator seeking an established, low-staff boutique guesthouse with immediate income streams and clear development potential through year-round trading and the permitted glamping pod.
