Scottish Business Centre is delighted to bring on to the market this most charming six bedroom hotel that is located in arguably one of the finest positions in the Argyll town of Dunoon. Boasting an enviable position overlooking the waters of the Firth of Clyde with direct access from the hotel garden to the West Bay Promenade, the Bay House Hotel offers truly breathtaking unrestricted views of the Cowal Hills and the islands of Bute, Arran and the two Cumbraes. On a clear day the summit of the Ailsa Craig, which is some fifty miles south can be viewed from the hotel. Bay House Hotel, which has been lovingly restored over recent years, is a Victorian sandstone villa dating back to around 1870. With West Bay only a short walk from the centre of Dunoon and walking distance from the main ferry terminal that service the area, the Bay House Hotel offers easy access to a wealth of interesting places for guests and owners to visit and enjoy, with the Castle House Museum, Benmore Botanic Gardens & Ardkingles Woodland Gardens to name just a few. The area is a haven for walkers, cyclists and those interested in fishing, shooting and water sports. Golfers can play a round or two of golf amidst the beautiful Cowal scenery of the local golf club. Dunoon is also famous for annually hosting the Cowal Highland Gathering, a most spectacular gathering of over 3000 competitors the largest highland gathering in the World.

Since purchasing the business over 6 years ago our clients have embarked on a modernisation programme that has seen new double glazing installed throughout the property, upgrading and development of the kitchen plus investment in the bedrooms and private accommodation. Over the years of ownership, the current proprietors have enjoyed the rewards of their hard work and attention to detail by achieving strong year on year trading levels that benefit from a high percentage of repeat & referred business, with the remainder from web sites, the local Tourist Board & passing trade. We are advised that new owners would have the opportunity to vastly increase trade should they wish, by opening the business for 12 months a year and possibly offering evening meals, coffee and home baking to non residents.
