Description
Bruce and Co. Are delighted to offer for sale Binniemyre Guest House, this beautifully presented Guest House is located within the Scottish Borders Town of Galasheils. Binniemyre Guest House is a stunning Guest House offered in true walk in condition and is situated on one of the main roads into Galasheils. The business has been under our clients’ careful ownership for over 27 years and they have very reluctantly taken the decision to place it on the market due to their wish to now retire. The business receives exemplary reviews on Trip Advisor where is has also been awarded with a certificate of excellence – a true testament to the service and care provided by our clients. Business is generated through the Guest house’ own informative website
and it is also featured on several hotel booking sites where it is highly reviewed and recommended by previous guests. The business trades successfully with high occupancy levels throughout the year. Although the business is trading very well there is still further potential for growth as at present the current owners choose to only offer bed and breakfast but the business has the facilities to offer lunch and evening services.
