DESCRIPTION

Tombeck Bed and Breakfast is an attractive and modern detached villa built to a high specification in 2008. The business is in an attractive trading location close to the village square and immediately adjacent to services, shops etc. This charming and easy-to-operate business offers a pleasant lifestyle trading opportunity plus a lovely home. The house presents excellent facilities with plentiful living space in true walk-in condition. The property is well-designed as a small bed and breakfast with 4 bedrooms in total, the layout of accommodation permits flexible use of letting rooms. The bedrooms are configured as two en-suite and a suite of 2 bedrooms sharing a private bathroom; all rooms are doubles, twins or family rooms. There is a spacious dining room / family area / kitchen with modern units. In addition there is a large lounge with fire place. The property is presented in excellent condition.

TRADING ASPECTS

The business operates on a mainly bed and breakfast basis with much of the bookings being generated by use of web-marketing. The business has an annual turnover of around £20,000 but there is most certainly scope to increase this further should new owners so desire. Trading year-round, with the introduction of a business website and greater use of portal websites, income could increase further. The vendor owns another business locally and is looking to sell off his assets to allow him to relocate for family reasons. He currently uses staff to maintain the rooms etc. but new owners could easily undertake all trading functions required. From time to time the whole house is let as a holiday home and should new owners wish to adopt this trading model, the business could generate a sound level of income.

REASON FOR SALE

The vendor purchased the property in 2008 and it is a change of family circumstance as well as a desire to relocate that now brings this attractive lifestyle business to the market.

LOCATION

The business is ideally situated to take full advantage of the many tourists and visitors to the region. Tomintoul is 14 miles from Grantown-on-Spey, 20 miles from Ballater and 30 miles from the Cairngorm Ski Centre, well suited to benefit from the trade passing between these key tourist hotspots. The property sits within the Cairngorm National Park and benefits from ski provision at the Lecht just 5 miles away, plus snow and ice climbing in the winter. The area offers excellent sporting and leisure facilities including salmon and trout fishing on nearby River Avon.

The area is also famous for its castles and distilleries which appeal to the more pedestrian tourist who can continue their odyssey of both the Highland and Grampian regions. The wider region is also renowned for its whisky production and sits on the whisky trail.
