Atholl House, originally built as a Manse around 100 year ago, is an impressive property located in the heart of Dunvegan. The main public rooms and four of the bedrooms are located in the original Manse with the additional five bedrooms located in the
later extension to the side.
The property is currently run as a successful Bed & Breakfast establishment by the present owners although it was formerly run as a licensed hotel offering evening meals.
With its grand entrance hallway, visitors immediately get a glimpse of the high standard to which the property has been furnished. All of the nine en-suite bedrooms are in an immaculate condition and have recently been refurbished complete with new carpets
and beds. The guest dining room/sitting room has loch views and a cosy open fire to relax after a busy day walking or sightseeing around the beautiful Isle of Skye. There is also a feature bar (sadly not currently open to guests) retained from when the property
was run as a licensed hotel.
The property benefits from gas central heating and is mainly double glazed with the exception of a couple of windows.
In the grounds of Atholl House there is still the original old church, which still retains some of the original internal features, a further sub-divided box profile shed ideal for storage and a static caravan.
This grand property offers potential purchasers the opportunity to acquire a well established and successful Bed & Breakfast establishment in walk in condition. The property also offers the potential to expand the business further by re-instating the license,
offering lunches, afternoon teas and evening meals and further accommodation subject to the usual planning consents.
Atholl House is located in the busy tourist village of Dunvegan on the west coast of Skye close to the end of Loch Dunvegan.
Dunvegan is the home to Dunvegan Castle – seat of the Clan MacLeod and one of the oldest inhabited castles in Europe – is only a short distance away.
It is an ideal base for walkers and sightseers’ alike being close to Glendale, Waternish and the Cuillins. There is an abundance of wildlife to look out for including the huge Sea Eagles with their white tipped tails, Golden Eagles, the resident seal colony
in Loch Dunvegan and, if you are really lucky, you may even spot a whale, porpoise or dolphin on your travels.
Facilities in the village include shops, restaurants, bakers, architects, household store, tourist information, doctor’s surgery and primary school. Secondary schooling is offered in Portree, the Islands capital some 22 miles away, and also has all the facilities
you would expect from a busy town.
