West Scotland glamping business put on market at offers over £450,000

A GLAMPING lodges business located off the west coast of Scotland has been put on the market at offers over £450,000.

Kings Caves Glamping by Machrie on the Isle of Arran has been brought to market by joint agents Watermans and DM Hall, one of Scotland’s leading firms of chartered surveyors.

The 4.25-acre semi-rural site, located just two miles south of Machrie, offers a variety of lodges and motorhome pitches, operational facilities and potential to develop the business further.

With views west to the Kintyre Peninsula, the site has five fully fitted, luxury glamping lodges with planning in place for a further five lodges.

Kings Caves Glamping, close to the Kings Caves and Machrie Moor standing stones tourist attractions, lies twelve miles west of Brodick, the island’s largest settlement.

It also boasts an eco-friendly log cabin reception office and outbuilding with guest hot tub, five motorhome pitches, two of which have an electric hook-up, and an EV charging point.

Each sleeping up to four guests, the lodges are aimed at self-catering visitors, with a fully equipped kitchenette, a dining area, a bathroom with shower and an outside decking area with views to a pond and the resident ducks.

There are a number of cycling and walking opportunities in the area and the village of Machrie is home to a 9-hole links golf course, a tennis court and a tearoom.

Anthony Zdanowicz, a commercial property associate based in the Ayr office of DM Hall is overseeing the sale together with Darren Lee of Watermans.

Anthony said: “Kings Caves Glamping was developed in 2022 by the owners who operate the site remotely from abroad and are selling due to retirement.

“Glamping is on trend and on an island like Arran, which is easily accessible and popular with tourists from all over the world, there is continuous demand for good quality accommodation, which has been shown with occupancy levels that have continued into 2024.

“The site is only part developed at present and there is planning for a further five luxury lodges, offering excellent growth potential.

“There may be further potential, subject to consent, to develop owners’ accommodation in due course but in the meantime, our client can also offer a stunning, modern four bedroom detached villa nearby, that is available for long term rent, if owners’ accommodation is needed.

“Our clients are seeking offers over £450,000 and anyone interested in finding out more information or viewing the site should contact me, [email protected] or on 01292 268055 or Darren Lee of Watermans, 07974 932675, [email protected].”
