Oyster Catcher, Main Street, Portmahomack, Highland

This historic property, dating back to around 1850, is a well-established venue in the village known for its hospitality. For over 25 years, it has been successfully run as a restaurant complemented by three letting rooms and private owner’s accommodation. However, due to the owners’ impending retirement and a gradual reduction in operations, the property is currently not functioning at its full commercial potential. This presents an excellent opportunity for new ownership to revitalize the business or repurpose the space into a stunning coastal residence, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. The ground floor features a spacious restaurant and café area filled with natural light, along with a well-equipped split-level commercial kitchen, utility room, wine cellar, and accessible toilet facilities. The first-floor layout includes three inviting letting bedrooms—one with an en-suite—as well as family bathroom facilities and dedicated living space for owners. Externally, there is a substantial workshop equipped with electricity and running water that could be transformed into additional usable space or an exciting new venture. Although currently in need of some upgrading, this property boasts significant versatility and ample opportunities for those looking to create either an exceptional hospitality destination or a beautiful coastal home. The rear garden features mature fruit trees and other elements awaiting restoration. This unique offering combines lifestyle alongside business prospects set against breathtaking panoramic views across the Dornoch Firth. An ideal investment for those looking to capitalize on its strong local reputation while enhancing its appeal.
