Top-rated Edinburgh guesthouse with bar and garden lounge area hits the market

A fantastic opportunity has arisen to acquire an established - and prosperous - hospitality business in Edinburgh's affluent Newington area.

On the property market for offers over £1.2 million, 18 Craigmillar Park Guest House enjoys a stable flow of visitors staying with them while in Edinburgh.

With tourism numbers increasing year on year, the accommodation enjoys top ratings and is ranked third in the list of guest houses in Edinburgh, according to the trusted travel platform TripAdvisor.

The guest house has plenty of perfectly preserved period features, wooden panelled walls in the lounge area and comfy tartan soft furniture, while a cosy mini-bar area reflects the owner's passion for good whisky.

Proudly listing the property on the Zoopla platform, the agents said: "The current owner has a huge passion for single malt whisky from all over Scotland. A look around his bar here will show this, and as part of some stays, he will organise whisky tastings and distillery visits for guests. This speciality angle proves very popular with guests from all over the world looking for an introduction to a huge part of Scotland's heritage.

"A modern extension built at the rear of the property with a large double bedroom, open plan lounge/kitchen and bathroom is currently used as owner's accommodation. This has independent access from the main guest house for privacy and would also offer a further rental opportunity.

"Our client at 18 Craigmillar Park chooses to just trade between April-September, and then over the New Year period. This leaves a further six months to maximise income with demand there all year for guest houses of this type in Edinburgh."
