    Location

    The subject property occupies a stunning trading position affording magnificent views over the sheltered Uig Bay on the bustling pier side of the picturesque seaside village of Uig with its five regular daily ferries to the Highlands and Islands, which lies with excellent access to major tourist routes (A87 and A855) and to all the amenities of the nearby capital town of Portree, on the delightful, dramatic and ever-popular Isle of Skye.

    Business Description

    We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving income producing home of uncommon size, quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

    This long established hostelry has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of many years’ highly successful trading by providing all the spacious, welcoming and extremely well fitted traditional free house licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind.

    “The Bakur Bar” is also locally renowned both for its fine, cask-conditioned real ales, including options for the nearby Isle of Skye brewery, and for its full and varied menu of classic full Scottish breakfasts, all-day hot and cold bar snacks, light and full lunches, evening restaurant meals, including local seafood options and regularly changing “blackboard specials”, hearty traditional roast Sunday lunches and indulgent desserts.

    All food is prepared freshly to order in its extensively equipped commercial catering facilities employing the finest and freshest, locally sourced produce and served in the very pleasant surroundings of charming and attractively furnished, interconnecting traditional and conservatory dining areas which combine to accommodate up to seventy covers in style and comfort.

    The property also boasts substantial surrounding grounds providing numerous additional external covers with magnificent sea views, and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of music entertainment evenings in order to boost its wet sales and exploit year-round local demand, and to exploring all the ongoing development potential of the property’s generous grounds for a possible extension to its existing accommodation.

    The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its own dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of some fourteen highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of five full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

    Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to someone simply seeking that wonderful combination of substantial and adaptable premises in which to embark upon any number of other potentially lucrative licensed dining and hospitality ventures, coupled with a charming, family-sized home in an appealing and commercially desirable coastal setting which promises real quality of life, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.
