The Inversnaid Bunkhouse and Top Bunk Bistro have been converted from a 19th
century church cleverly retaining some of the original features including stained
glass and vaulted ceilings, with the bunk rooms at ground floor level and the
restaurant on the upper floor. More recently added, in 2012, is the separate log
cabin which provides a mix of accommodation suitable for letting or for use by
owners and/or staff..
Loch Lomond with its worldwide recognition and reputation needs no introduction
and the Inversnaid Bunkhouse is located to the east, at the north end, of this famed
and romantic stretch of water in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs
National Park. Set amongst the rolling hills of West Stirlingshire arriving at
Inversnaid – where the locale is also well known for its roaming wild feral goats –
by car or foot ensures a beautiful journey amongst spectacular Scottish scenery
with the Inversnaid Bunkhouse and Top Bunk Bistro – a welcome “oasis”.
The sellers, who originally operated the bunk house themselves and then built the
Log Cabin, have in recent years leased the business. As the current tenants have
come to the end of their lease, the decision has been taken to sell the Inversnaid
Bunkhouse. With the established business and good profits, this offers a wonderful
opportunity to investors or owner/operators to acquire a great little business in an
iconic location of Scotland.
