Property Details:

Guest Accommodation
There are 10 letting rooms across three floors; two on the ground floor, six on the first floor and two on the second floor; a mix of single, twin, double and family accommodation, 6 rooms of which are en suite, the remainder with private facilities. Rooms are appointed to a good standard with most of the guest accommodation enjoying views across the harbour. All of the rooms are principally appointed with good quality carpets, painted plaster/wallpapered walls, tea/coffee making facilities and Freeview TV

Dining Room
The large dining room at present is set out for 21 covers (the max capacity of Guest House) but reconfiguration of the dining room would allow space for more covers than this if a restaurant were considered to be run from here (as has been done in the past).
It features a large picture window, which looks onto the garden to the rear of the property.
The dining room includes a small refrigerator available for guest use.
The dining room window has become a great asset to the Guest House as each morning, the bird feeders and bird table, which are clearly visible at close range, are full of a vast number of birds feeding which makes for quite an entertaining morning!
The dining room also has a three-seater and a two seater sofa and guests can make use of the dining room / lounge area in the evening to relax, read or play board games

Ancillary areas

Kitchen (situated adjacent to dining room)
Equipped with gas range, refrigerator, commercial dishwasher and a range of floor and wall cupboards and shelving

The Business
The present owners purchased this property in 2005 and are currently running their 8th season of trade. They have improved the interior and exterior decoration of the property extensively since they began running the business, recently refurbishing the majority of the guest bedrooms in Feb/Mar 2012.

For 6 years, the husband and wife owners ran the business without additional help. They started a retail business in the town of Tobermory in 2011 and since that time, have employed a housekeeper at the guest house who works approx. 20 hours per week (there is no condition on the sale to retain this employee)

The business has its own successful website www.harbourguesthouse-tobermory.com and the current owners are experienced at marketing and advertise through a number of free online listings as well as local web directories which all boost the advance bookings for this business. An added advantage of web-based advertising means an increase in the number of night\'s guests will book to stay. Typically, over 70% of guests stay for more than 1 night, and over 50% of these for 3 or more nights.

Trading information:
Historical accounting information will be made available to seriously interested parties only after formally viewing the property.


Location
Harbour Guest House is located on Mull which is one of the most visited of the Hebridean Islands and one of the most accessible, easily reached by ferry from the port of Oban.

Mull is a haven for wildlife-spotters, birdwatchers, hill walkers and anglers and attracts visitors from all over the world. Tobermory is the ideal place for tourists to base themselves as it boasts a number of well-regarded restaurants and shops. In addition, it has a golf course with stunning views and is the setting for the popular children\'s television programme ‘Balamory\', a draw for many a family visiting with young children. Tobermory is also the starting point for many land-based wildlife tours as well as whale watching and other boat day cruises, which depart from the harbour. Those visiting the island for business will also typically choose Tobermory as their base.
