Turnkey, award-winning hospitality business with private gardens and orangery dining.
Detached late-Victorian villa beneath Stirling Castle
Set beneath Stirling Castle, this detached Victorian villa operates as an established 10-bedroom boutique hotel with private gardens, resident’s lounge and a glazed conservatory orangery restaurant. The business trades with high accolades — 5-star VisitScotland and AA ratings and a long-standing top Tripadvisor position — making it a turnkey hospitality opportunity in a prominent tourist location.
The building’s period character is clear: stone façade, bay windows, high ceilings and generously sized rooms across three floors. Accommodation includes ten letting bedrooms (described as ensuite), two staff rooms, and lower ground floor space that could form extensive owners’ accommodation or a self-contained four-bedroom apartment. There is also a private car park and off-street parking for guests and staff.
Operational advantages include award-winning reputation, resident lounge and separate restaurant spaces (main dining room plus conservatory orangery), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The freehold tenure and detached plot give long-term flexibility for owners or investors seeking continued hotel operation or sympathetic conversion.
Important points for buyers: official details list only one bathroom despite the property being marketed with ten ensuite letting rooms — purchasers should verify service and sanitation layout. The surrounding area is noted as deprived in official data despite the property’s leafy, affluent setting near Kings Park; this may influence staffing and local demand patterns. Any purchaser should also assess ongoing maintenance of a late-1800s Victorian structure and the functional state of commercial kitchen, services and fire-safety systems before completing.
