Exclusive Use, Guest House in a Popular Seaside Location – Dunoon Project – FOR SALE
Graham + Sibbald are delighted to bring to market this fantastic Exclusive Use, 14-Bedroom Guest House Opportunity in Dunoon For Sale.
This attractive 14-bedroom Victorian guest house occupies a commanding waterfront position overlooking West Bay in the popular Clyde town of Dunoon. Currently configured to accommodate 22 guests across 11 bedrooms, the property offers immediate scope to increase capacity through the reactivation of three additional letting rooms. Public areas have been extensively refurbished by the current owners, creating a stylish and welcoming hospitality offering suited to both leisure and short-stay markets. Externally, the property enjoys a particularly strong coastal setting. A generous front garden and terrace provide outdoor seating overlooking the waterfront, with direct private access to the beach. To the rear, a substantial garden offers potential to create additional guest amenity space, subject to the necessary consents. There is also the unique possibility of installing private boat moorings at the foot of the garden.
The property stands to benefit significantly from the ambitious Dunoon Project, a major community-led initiative designed to reposition the town as a leading outdoor adventure destination in Scotland. The project proposes the development of a world-class outdoor activities’ hub on the hills and forests above Dunoon, incorporating an extensive network of mountain biking trails, gondola access, zip lines and a range of other visitor attractions. These facilities would be supported by associated hospitality, accommodation and visitor infrastructure, creating a comprehensive year-round tourism destination capable of attracting both domestic and international visitors.
If delivered, the development is expected to generate significant visitor numbers from across the UK and overseas, bringing increased footfall, longer visitor stays and enhanced tourism spending within the Cowal Peninsula. The project has the potential to transform Dunoon into one of Scotland’s premier adventure tourism destinations, capitalising on the area’s exceptional natural landscape while supporting local businesses and employment.
More broadly, the initiative forms part of a wider strategy to revitalise Dunoon’s tourism offer and strengthen its position as a gateway to the wider Argyll region and the nearby Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. Increased investment in outdoor recreation, combined with improved visitor infrastructure and accessibility, is anticipated to drive sustained tourism growth and enhance the long-term appeal of hospitality assets within the town.
Located approximately one hour from Glasgow via road and ferry connections, Dunoon combines accessibility with the appeal of a scenic west coast setting. The sale therefore presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a waterfront hospitality business with clear growth potential supported by significant future tourism investment.
This sale presents a rare opportunity to acquire a waterfront hospitality business with clear growth potential in one of Scotland’s most scenic and well-connected west coast locations.
Katie Tait, a Hotel + Leisure Agent with Graham + Sibbald, commented, “This is a superb opportunity for a buyer to acquire a fantastic, classic property with a profitable exclusive use business model. The premises is also suitable for a variety of business uses. A new owner has the potential to further develop the business through multiple avenues by capitalising on the unused letting rooms and workshop area. There is of course the potential to transform the property back into a hotel by reinstating the bar area and rearranging the entertainment space into a lounge area.”
Graham + Sibbald are inviting “Offers in the Region of £430,000” for The Exclusive Use Guest House.
