Harbourside Guest House - Established Guest House Accommodation business in the Orkney Islands available to buy
Opened as a Guest House in 2000, Harbourside Guest House has been an extremely busy business ever since, offering high quality accommodation to visitors during Orkney's busy summer season. Now, it is for sale to anyone interested in continuing the business at 7 John Street.
Awarded three stars by Visit Scotland, Harbourside is one of the most
central Guest Houses in Stromness and is frequented by visitors interested
in Orkney's history and 
festivals, business travellers and dive parties
(the world famous diving grounds, Scapa Flow, are most easily reached by
Stromness dive boats.)
Harbourside is located near the Ferry Terminal - and is a very short walk from the boat - hence is one of the first accommodation business most visitors will meet on disembarking the main ferry from Scottish mainland. It is 4 miles from the heart of neolithic Orkney and is strolling distance from Stromness's bars and restaurants. Stromness is the main location of most of Orkney's major festivals.
Occupancy figures are available on request.
Harbourside is presently run as an annexe, has six letting bedrooms, office, attic room as well as two laundry rooms. Each bedroom has:
- Shower and W.C. ensuite
- Colour Television
- Tea / Coffee Making Facilities
- Trouser Press
- Alarm Clock Radio
- Hair Dryer
Harbourside has no owner’s accommodation, although a self-catering flat is available for rent or with the option to purchase separately if required.
The guest house also has the potential to be converted into flats or as a beautiful home in the picturesque town of Stromness.
Currently, Harbourside is not trading during the winter, but with the winter tourist season becoming busier in Orkney and the long diving season (March to November) we are confident that Harbourside Guest House would be a lucrative business during the winter months.
The asking price for Harbourside Guest House is £250,000. Bookings for the summer season are very encouraging with festival periods all fully booked and will be passed on to the new owners. We are very happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the accommodation, but would appreciate serious enquiries. Please visit the contact us page to get in touch.
