Castle Moil & Bar Castle Moil Restaurant & King Haakon Bar 754 sq ft Retail Property Kyleakin IV41 8PL £695,000 (£921.75/sq ft)

Highly attractive and profitable bar and restaurant in a beautiful coastal location in the village of Kyleakin. The accommodation comprises a 3-bedroom owners flat, 7-bed bunk room and 2 staff bedrooms.
Kyleakin occupies a strategic gateway position at the entrance to the Isle of Skye, immediately after crossing the Skye Bridge from the mainland. This prime location ensures strong visibility and consistent passing traffic from visitors arriving on the island.
The village is also home to the historic ruins of Castle Moil, reinforcing its appeal as a visitor destination. Its position as the main access point to Skye provides a strong trading environment for hospitality and retail businesses, combining year-round local custom with substantial seasonal tourism.
The Property The original parts of Castle Moil Restaurant & King Haakon Bar date back to the early 1900s, with the section where the shop now operates forming the earliest part of the building. Further extensions were added in the 1960s and subsequently. The property is of predominantly modern construction, set beneath a pitched tiled roof, with some flat metal roofing to the rear.
Arranged over two floors, the property benefits from open sea and mountain views. All public trading areas are located on the ground floor, providing straightforward access for customers, including less able guests, and there is a disabled W.C. The business is well presented throughout and offers a fully established trading environment in a highly prominent waterfront setting.
Owner’s accommodation is located on the first floor and provides flexible space suitable for extended family use, staff accommodation, or potential holiday letting, subject to the necessary consents.
The shop unit is currently operated under lease. Extending to approximately 70m², it trades as a mixed convenience and gift shop and serves as a well-used village amenity. The lease provides an additional income stream while also generating footfall that benefits the restaurant and bar operations.
Owners Accommodation An attractive feature of the property is the spacious first-floor owner’s accommodation, accessed via a rear stairway. The main living area comprises three bedrooms, including two large double rooms and one single room, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath. A generous kitchen/dining area and comfortable lounge provide practical and flexible living space.
Also on the first floor are two additional bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and dressing area, together with a bunk room configured with seven beds (five singles and one double) served by a separate shower room. A communal area includes a utility space.
This accommodation has historically been used for staff and visiting musicians and offers flexible use for extended family, continued staff accommodation, or potential conversion to a supplementary income stream, subject to the necessary consents.
