<strong>Glenferndale</strong> is situated in the town of Penicuik which is located to the south of Edinburgh and backed by the beautiful<br />
Pentland Hills. Click Here For Map<br />
Penicuik is a popular <strong>com</strong>muter town as it has great connections into the city centre and is also close to the Edinburgh City<br />
by-pass making the airport within easy travelling distance. <strong>Glenferndale</strong> is located in a quiet residential area looking out to<br />
the rear onto open countryside in the Pentland Hills and beyond.<br />
The Business<br />
<strong>Glenferndale</strong> was built as a luxury house and around 3 years ago the owners decided to create a <strong>Bed</strong> & <strong>Breakfast</strong> business<br />
which has proved extremely successful. The business is run on a fairly low key basis to suit the current proprietors’<br />
requirements and has vast potential to be expanded further if so required. At the present time the business is open<br />
generally from April to October. Click here to visit the <strong>Glenferndale</strong> Website<br />
Guests are attracted to <strong>Glenferndale</strong> for a variety of reasons. There are a lack of letting rooms in this area of Midlothian and<br />
given that the population of Penicuik is in excess of 17,000 there are always occasions when friends and family <strong>com</strong>e to the<br />
area and require somewhere to stay. The nearby Rosslyn Chapel with its historic connections is another major attraction to<br />
the area and accounts for a good number of bookings to <strong>Glenferndale</strong>.<br />
The large and expanding Science Park at the nearby Bush Estate is another great source of business. Recently the Royal<br />
Dick Veterinary Hospital, part of Edinburgh University has opened in this area as has the Roslin Institute (famous for cloning<br />
Dolly the Sheep) and these and other scientific institutes ensure large numbers of visitors to the Penicuik area.<br />
As previously mentioned the business is traded on a fairly low key basis and could easily be opened 12 months a year.<br />
There is also scope to increase the number of bedrooms that are made available to guests and this can be appreciated<br />
when viewing the property.<br />
