A unique luxury hotel in a stunning location on the west coast of Scotland is for sale, offering an outstanding lifestyle in one of the most spectacular parts of the British Isles. * Search for prime property for sale in Scotland Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel, situated near the town of Kirkcolm, is a truly unique building, which has 6 en-suite rooms in the lighthouse tower itself, a high class restaurant on the ground floor, and five holiday cottages - all with views of the Kintyre Peninsula, Arran, the Firth of Clyde, Rathlin Island, Ailsa Craig and over to the coast of Ireland. Visitors come from England, Ireland and Scotland, as well as the European mainland. The property itself was built in the early 19th century, and is much the same externally as it was then. Inside, however, has been converted into a luxury hotel with six separate suites full of character. The restaurant has 28 covers and has a charming situation on the ground floor, with beamed ceilings. As a hotel the Lighthouse has already built up a solid reputation as a boutique hotel with a difference, and there are many more opportunities to build on the work already carried out by the vendors, who are now going into retirement. The area offers a superb quality of life, particularly for those who enjoy the outdoors: Sailing, pony trekking, walking and daytrips to Ireland are all popular pastimes for those living, and staying in the area. The property is reached by the A75 Dumfries/Stranraer road or the A77 Glasgow/Ayr road. Further planning permission could easily be applied for to build further on the site. Guide Price £1.25m.
