  • Prime Location
Agent Local is proud to present this rare opportunity to acquire one of Inverness’s finest guest houses, Ardentorrie. Perfectly positioned in the heart of the city, this beautifully maintained four-star guest house offers what are arguably the most stunning views in Inverness – directly overlooking the newly renovated Inverness Castle, with sweeping vistas across Ben Wyvis, the Black Isle, the Moray Firth and all the way toward Loch Ness.

After 35 successful years of trading, the current owners are now retiring, making this highly sought-after business available for the first time in decades. The guest house offers eight spacious en-suite bedrooms and a charming, self-contained guest pod known as Flora’s View, which features its own kitchen, bathroom, and a private deck facing the castle. The layout of the property allows for incredible flexibility, with options to expand the number of letting rooms or to convert parts of the building into self-catering apartments, creating further income streams.

The guest breakfast room is located on the lower ground level with access to a beautiful south-facing deck and a tranquil garden area. There is also a separate kitchen used solely for business purposes, providing the potential to introduce evening meals or further hospitality offerings. The guest experience has been thoughtfully refined over the years, with a self-check-in system and pre-ordered breakfasts offering both efficiency and convenience.

The private owner’s accommodation is a real standout, with a large living and dining area offering panoramic city views and a cosy fireplace, a newly fitted kitchen, and an en-suite double bedroom. The current owners also use two of the guest rooms for family, but this could be reconfigured to suit the buyer’s needs. A large utility and laundry space supports the smooth running of the business, while the sun-filled balcony accessible from the owner’s lounge provides private access to the garden – a rare and peaceful retreat in the city centre.

With five private parking spaces and two additional permit passes, this guest house combines the privacy and charm of a residential setting with the convenience of being just a short stroll from the heart of Inverness. Guests can easily explore local shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions, while still enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with the elevated location.

Ardentorrie Guest House enjoys consistent year-on-year growth in turnover, underpinned by an outstanding reputation and the continued popularity of the North Coast 500 and The Great Glen Way. For an ambitious buyer, there is enormous potential to build on this success, whether through further development, reconfiguration, or simply continuing to run the business as it is with confidence.

Opportunities like this, in such a prime location and with such exceptional views, rarely come to the market. This is more than just a business – it’s a chance to own a landmark property in one of Scotland’s most iconic cities.
