The former Victoria Hotel on the harbour front at Tarbert is for sale at £265,000, listed by the Scottish Business Centre as an “excellent investment opportunity” for an entrepreneurial owner.
The property is described as offering a potential “varied stream of business income” and “a blank page for new owners”.
The Scottish Business Centre listing reads: “Benefitting from a highly visible roadside location on what is arguably one of the best trading locations within the area, the Victoria Hotel offers a new operator a terrific opportunity to create something quite special.
“By offering a spacious waterfront dining conservatory area, beer garden which also provides open views of the bay, bar area and six letting bedrooms, the former Victoria Hotel offers new owners tremendous potential to enjoy a wide and varied stream of business income.
“From local trade, traditional tourists, sporting visitors such as fishermen, walkers and cyclists plus the large number of yachtsmen and boaters that visit the area, the trading opportunities at the Victoria Hotel are vast.
“Since taking over the property, our clients have looked at various trading options that the former hotel can offer. At the time, the vendors decided the property required the refitting of a new lounge bar to bring the operation more in line with what the modern food and drinks market demands.
“Now that the removal of the old and dated bar has taken place, the vendors have created a blank page for new owners in the development of the bar and kitchen.
“While the property is currently closed, most potential operators will note on viewing the terrific opportunity on offer.
“Overall, the sale of the loch front former hotel located in one of Scotland’s most popular west coast towns, offers a truly rare opportunity for an enthusiastic and entrepreneurial owner.
“The area is renowned for some of the finest seafood caught in the east and west coasts of Scotland, while the beautiful Kintyre peninsula is the natural stopping off point for malt whisky aficionados en-route to the isles of Islay and Jura.
“The Kintyre peninsula has over the last few years been increasing its tourism through a new marketing group consisting of local business people and government agencies.
“This has led to the creation of a variety of new projects to entice tourism to Kintyre from Music and Food festivals to the Kintyre Way.”
