DM Hall & Watermans market successful Arran-based glamping lodges business at offers over £450,000

Kings Caves Glamping, by Machrie on the Isle of Arran, a dog friendly, successful lifestyle business with high profit potential, located in a scenic and highly popular location off the West Coast of Scotland has been brought to market by joint agents Watermans, estate agents and solicitors and DM Hall, one of Scotland’s leading firms of chartered surveyors, at offers over £450,000.

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

With stunning views west to the Kintyre Peninsula, the site has five fully fitted, luxury glamping lodges with planning in place for a further five lodges, an eco-friendly log cabin reception office and outbuilding with guest hot tub, five motorhome pitches, two of which have with electric hook-up, and an EV charging point.

The luxury lodges are well appointed and are aimed at self-catering visitors, with a fully equipped kitchenette, each sleeping up to four guests with a king size bed and a pull-out sofa bed, a dining area, a bathroom with shower and an outside decking area with views to a pond and the resident ducks!

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. There is a number of great 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, who, together with Darren Lee of Watermans is overseeing the sale, 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.”

He added: ‘’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 owner’s 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 owner’s accommodation is needed.

Our clients are seeking offers over £450,000 and anyone interested in finding our more information or to view the site, should contact me, Anthony.Zdanowicz@dmhall.co.uk or on 01292 268055 or Darren Lee of Watermans, 07974 932675, darrenlee@watermans.co.uk.”

DM Hall, now in its 126th year, has 23 offices across Scotland and in 2023 expanded into the North of England with the acquisition of Hyde Harrington, an established firm of Chartered Surveyors based in Carlisle and Kendal.
