Welcome to Meikle Ferry Station, a beautifully restored former railway station with a brief yet captivating operational history, active between 1864 and 1869. More recently known as the 'Dornoch Bridge Inn,' the property has been thoughtfully developed into a distinctive complex that blends historical charm with modern convenience, offering a truly exceptional business or residential opportunity. Until June 2025, the main building operated successfully as a fully licensed caf�/restaurant, providing full table service for up to 60 guests. This setup included a spacious industrial kitchen and an on-site bakery, renowned for its Traditional Scottish dishes and freshly made home baking. During the warmer months, guests could also enjoy dining in the inviting outdoor beer garden. A charming gift shop next to the caf� added further appeal and operated alongside the restaurant until both ceased trading in June 2025. Complementing the main facilities is a well-presented two-bedroom flat located on the first floor, perfect for on-site owner occupation or as an additional holiday let. The flat includes two bedrooms, a shower room, and an open-plan lounge with a kitchen area, offering both comfort and flexibility. Adding significant value to the site is a stunning four-bedroom self-catering holiday lodge complete with its own hot tub. This lodge features a bright and airy lounge, a modern separate kitchen, and generous sleeping arrangements with three en-suite bedrooms and an additional family bathroom. With front and rear decking and a private hot tub area to the rear, the lodge provides an ideal retreat for holidaymakers. For aspiring entrepreneurs, this is a golden opportunity to revive a once-thriving and well-reviewed restaurant and gift shop while benefiting from the reliable income stream provided by the holiday accommodation. The inclusion of the on-site two-bedroom flat adds further scope for personal use or rental income. Alternatively, the main building offers fantastic potential for conversion, whether as a spacious family home, a guesthouse, or other residential use, subject to the necessary planning and building consents. Meikle Ferry Station invites visionaries to take advantage of this rare and versatile property, where rich history meets modern-day opportunity.
