Bruce & Co. are pleased to announce the sale of Riverside Log Cabins; a luxury log cabin business based in Comrie, Perth and Kinross. The seller, Mr Bradley, is so pleased with the service, that he has recommended Bruce & Co. as a selling agent to his friend, who is also looking to sell his business.
Riverside Cabins is located on the banks of the River Earn, surrounded by picturesque scenery. The business incorporates six traditional self-catering log cabins; each constructed from the finest Finnish logs and sleeping up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms. Situated between the villages of Comrie and St. Fillans, the business benefits from a good range of local amenities close by, such as restaurants, pubs, coffee shops and retail outlets. Riverside Cabins provide the ideal holiday accommodation for travellers looking for a relaxing retreat, as well as catering to tourists who enjoy activities in the nearby areas – such as golfing, sailing, and water-sports. The property sits within its own expansive grounds, extending to approximately 0.95 acres of land; providing the new owner with opportunities to extend and develop the business should they wish.
Each property is styled with traditional décor and contemporary furnishings to provide the level of comfort that today’s traveller expects, yet still retains much of the traditional charm and character of the cabins. As the accommodation is self-catering each cabin benefits from an open plan design with living room, fully fitted kitchen and dining area. The bedrooms consist of 1 double bedroom, 1 bedroom with twin beds and 1 with bunk beds to accommodate guests of different varieties. The cabins benefit hugely from double glazing in winter and a bathroom with full sized bath and a power shower. Another particularly attractive feature are the patio doors leading from the open plan living room onto a decked area offering beautiful views over the River Earn. The layout of the cabins has been carefully thought out and designed so that each cabin enjoys a river view and has a sense of privacy without overlooking or being overlooked by other guests in neighbouring cabins.
Riverside Cabins was under the ownership of the seller, Mr Bradley, for over 17 years. During this time, the business has earned a great reputation in providing residents a truly relaxing holiday break. The business has had exceptional feedback, and has been awarded a 3* rating from the Scottish Tourist Board. Despite its success, Mr Bradley decided to bring the business to the market to help him on his way to retirement.
Once Riverside Cabins was brought to the market, the business attracted ten impressive viewings before being sold to Mr Love, a Business Development Manager, for £400,000. Mr Love decided to buy the business as he was looking for a lifestyle change for himself and his family. The business was purchased by cash and borrowing from two major banks – RBS and Santander.
The seller, Mr Bradley, owns another business currently as well and will look to sell through Bruce & Co. again, as he is very pleased with the overall level of service received. Mr Bradley commented “We have just concluded the sale of our self-catering business through your agency and would like to thank all members of your team for their support and help in reaching this successful conclusion. During our listing with Bruce & Co, we received more viewings in nine months than we had achieved when using a national/ international chain over four years. We were impressed by the frequency of communication from your staff, and their follow up of all viewers. When in the negotiation stage, we again found that your communication was excellent. Thank you for all your input which resulted in a successful sale.”
