Property description

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a very impressive period property overlooking the stunning natural harbour of Stonehaven. Shorehead Guest House is being sold with the benefit of 6 letting rooms that have each been individually designed, decorated, and furnished by a local interior designer. The guest house is easily managed and trades very profitably beneath the VAT threshold. Shorehead has excellent online reviews, a superb reputation and enjoys a considerable amount of repeat business. The business can be easily managed by new owners who can not only enjoy the local life of Stonehaven but also all that Aberdeen has to offer.

15 miles to the South of Aberdeen is the charming traditional fishing port of Stonehaven, now a bustling tourist destination and holiday resort. Just to the south are the dramatic ruins of Dunnottar Castle, a truly historic Scottish Castle perched on a rocky crag above the North Sea. Sheltering beneath the cliffs is the town’s pretty harbour, where there is a museum and a seafood restaurant set in a 16th century jail, as well as the historic Ship Inn and the Marine Hotel, which brews its own beers. The town hosts an annual real ale festival in June. Along the bay is an award-winning fish and chip shop and an Olympic-sized Art Deco open air swimming. The town hosts its world-famous Hogmanay fire ball procession and a music event on New Year’s Eve in the town centre. There is excellent primary and secondary education within the town and great range of facilities and ammenities.Aberdeen is the Capital of the North Sea Oil and Gas industry and has all the facilities that you would expect of major city including 2 Universities, a major airport with regular national and international flights, a mainline rail service with connections to all major Scottish Cities and the East Coast line to London.
