Self-Catering Apartments

An open-plan living, dining and kitchen area creates a practical, self-contained layout. Outside, a secluded patio incorporates a sheltered private hot tub. The apartment accommodates up to four guests.

Wee Secret Apartment is a loft-style retreat for two, occupying the upper floor. The accommodation combines sleeping, living and dining space with a fitted kitchen, while two balconies provide outdoor seating. A large indoor spa bath and separate shower distinguish this apartment from the properties with external hot tubs, creating a separate couples’ offering within the business.

Luxury Pods

Wee Acorn is the second luxury pod, providing accommodation for two with its own private hot tub and outdoor seating. Together, the pods broaden the choice available to guests seeking a short break in a smaller, self-contained property.

Office
The current owners commissioned a 6.5m2 detached modular office by Aroha Escapes, featuring a fully fitted kitchen, shower room and open living space. This versatile unit offers the potential for further self-catering or managers accommodation, subject to necessary consents.

The Site and Grounds

The development is approached through electric gates and is set within mature landscaped grounds of around 1.8 acres. Lawns, established trees and planting provide separation between the accommodation, helping each property retain its own setting and outdoor space.

Private decks, patios and seating areas are an important part of the guest experience. Hot tubs serve individual properties and Ben Lomond and Montrose also benefit from their own saunas. The internal access arrangements and guest parking support arrivals, housekeeping and routine servicing.

The sellers have identified potential for further development towards the rear of the site. This offers an avenue for a purchaser to explore, subject to planning permission, access, services, drainage and all other necessary consents. No consent for additional accommodation is implied. An indicative site plan is available, with the precise extent and boundaries to be confirmed through the sale documentation.

The Business

Lomond Luxury Lodges operates as an established, owner-led self-catering accommodation business. The owners oversee reservations, pricing, guest communications and arrivals, together with accommodation presentation, maintenance and the external leisure facilities. Part-time cleaning staff support changeovers, with their work organised around guest departures and arrivals.

The business has an established website and direct booking presence, supported by third-party online distribution including Booking.com, Air BnB, Vrbo etc. Repeat guests and positive reviews are paramount and Lomond Luxury Lodges is currently rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on Tripadvisor, 4.8 out of 5 on Google reviews and 9.6 out of 10 on Booking.com.
Its varied accommodation allows pricing, minimum stays and promotional activity to be tailored to individual properties and guest groups rather than applying one approach across the whole site.

A purchaser could continue the existing hands-on operating model or introduce greater delegated management, allowing for the associated staffing costs. Potential commercial initiatives include improving direct-booking conversion, developing repeat-guest marketing, promoting midweek stays and establishing referral arrangements with local activity and experience providers.

Tourism Opportunity

The location provides several themes around which to develop and promote the business. Loch Lomond and the surrounding countryside offer opportunities for outdoor holidays, while the accommodation’s private leisure facilities provide an attraction for guests seeking a quieter, accommodation-focused break.
Lomond Luxury Lodges remains a highly popular destination for many larger groups looking to stay in one location tailored around a wedding at one of the areas many outstanding wedding venues including, Cameron House Hotel, Boturich Castle, Ardoch House, Ross Priory etc.

Drymen is an established stop on the West Highland Way and the starting point of the Rob Roy Way. These routes, together with Conic Hill, Ben Lomond and shorter local walks, provide scope to target walking holidays and spring or autumn breaks. Loch cruises, water-based activities, golf and visits to nearby attractions such as Glengoyne Distillery add further itinerary options.

The larger house and lodges can be promoted to extended families and groups, while Wee Secret and the pods provide a separate focus for couples. Targeted marketing around these different guest requirements could help broaden the booking calendar, particularly through midweek and shoulder-season offers.
