Fife Arms Guest House, The Square

The Fife Arms in Dufftown presents an exceptional business opportunity for new owners, poised to capitalize on the thriving tourist sector in Scotland’s whisky capital. Located in the heart of Speyside, Dufftown attracts numerous visitors year-round due to its status as the “malt whisky capital of the world” and its central position on the famous Speyside Whisky Trail. The town’s popularity is further bolstered by events like the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival which draws whisky enthusiasts from around the globe.

The newly refurbished Fife Arms is ideally situated to cater to this steady influx of tourists. With six modern chalet-style letting rooms accommodating up to 13-14 guests (2 twin rooms, 2 double rooms, 1 king room, and 1 family room), the property is well-equipped to meet the demand for quality accommodation in the area. The recent completion of renovations means new owners can start operating immediately, benefiting from updated facilities without the need for additional investment.

The property’s potential extends beyond lodging, with the opportunity to reinstate the former bar and restaurant, supported by a fitted commercial kitchen. This addition could attract both tourists and locals, creating an additional revenue stream. The Fife Arms also boasts practical amenities such as a laundry room, workshop, large shed, log store/beer cellar, and a spacious gated car park, enhancing its operational efficiency and guest convenience.
