The first 5 star Bed & Breakfast on the Isle of Skye is being marketed by Bruce & Co.
Clach Ghlas, which means ‘grey stone’, is still one of only three 5 star B&Bs on the island, and boasts an idyllic and picturesque Lower Milovaig setting, nestled on the side of a hill. Its panoramic views overlook Loch Pooltiel over to Dunvagen head, looking east over McLeod’s tables. Gazing out over the Little Minch the Outer Herbridean Islands of Uist and Harris are visible, and there is an abundance of wildlife in the area – from seals and otters to majestic golden eagles.
The property is built over 4 floors and houses 7 bedrooms, a guest lounge, breakfast area and a balcony where the guests can sit and take in the stunning views of the hills and coastline. Only two of the rooms are currently used for letting, which presents huge potential to develop the business. The letting accommodation is currently situated in a cottage adjacent to the main house to allow for a real rural getaway, and guests also have their own private lounge with a roaring open fire, along with access to the balcony.
Both letting rooms are en-suite doubles with whirlpool baths in each bathroom, and are furnished and decorated to an extremely high standard. The current owner’s accommodation is spacious and is impressively decorated and maintained. It consists of a conservatory, family room, newly fitted kitchen, lounge, 5 bedrooms, (4 of which are en suite), a bathroom and a utility room.
The stunning new build property was completed by the owners in 2002 – who spared no expense both in the construction and the interior design – and the building’s sheer size and style has led to it being given the nickname “Dun Milovaig Castle.” Clach Ghlas itself is an excellent retreat for a variety of visitors throughout the year including walkers, cyclists, shooters and fishers.
The extremely busy business has been run by the current proprietor since 2005, and has been placed on the market due to their need to relocate. The business also has its own website at www.clachghlas.com
The sale of the Clach Ghlas offers a rare opportunity to purchase a high quality 5 star B&B in the idyllic setting of Lower Millovaig. Recently established to accommodate private guests, the business is showing a significant increase in its clientele and displays massive growth potential.
Bruce & Co’s Andrew Dodd said: “The Clach Ghlas Bed & Breakfast is a dream acquisition for a buyer; we are delighted to act on behalf of our client and offer such a wonderful business in picturesque surroundings.”
