NEW OWNERSHIP

The hotel is now under the new management of Mr Jeff Nimmo. Our excellent standards and service will continue and the hotel will now be open all days (with the exception of Christmas Day & Boxing Day) On behalf of all the staff we wish all the very best to Mark & Claire Stevens and wish them well in their future ventures.

New Menus

We have changed our menus and now offer a new A La Carte menu every week along side our Daily Specials. Both menus still contain a great selection of freshly prepared dishes utilising the very best locally sourced produce. A sample menu has been added to our "Eat" page.

Friday 2- Sunday 4th July - Scone Game Fair

We would like to thank all the members who visited the members enclosure during the course of the game fair. We were invited to provide the catering along with The Storehouse at Fowlis Ferry and what an experience it was! Our team was ready to serve guests from 9am until 6pm producing some fantastic dishes on all three days. All food was sourced locally and prepared on site. We would like to give a big thank you to all our suppliers in their flexibility in delivering fresh ingredients at strange times of the morning and evening throughout the event. Well done everyone!!

1st June 2010 - Big Thanks to Nae Limits

Many thanks to Nae Limits who invited 2 of us to join them adventure tubing. What a laugh! We were impressed by their professionalism in ensuring we were all correctly rigged up in the right gear and took great care of our safety as we bobbed down the river rapids in little rubber rings (after we'd jumped in from a 25ft high cliff ... although that was optional)

For more information about all the adrenalin activities that Nae Limits provides have a look at their website (see our links)

We are happy to recommend them to our guests and (curtesy of Nae Limits) can offer guests last minute discounted rates. Please ask one of our staff for more details.

28th May 2010 - Dalmunzie Golf Course

The chefs and assistant manager tried out the picturesque 9 hole golf course situated towards Glenshee. It boasts stunning views and some great shots with golf for all abilities (lucky really considering the golfing skills of those participating!!) We can recommend this local course and its a bargain at only £15 for 9 holes. We will be happy to book a tee time for our guests, alternatively you can call directly on 01250 885226

Thursday 13th May 2010 - Calling all Fishing Fanatics!

We are happy to announce that the new owners of the Old Barn (adjacent to our car-park) are opening their shop "River Thoughtful Fishing Books" in the next few weeks. The shop will be stocked with antiquarian, rare and second-hand fishing books, maps and prints. A must for all angling enthusiasts!

This beautiful old photograph is of Sir Harry Lauder by the River Tay at Stanley, 1934. A print of this has been kindly donated by River Thoughtful Fishing Books and is pride of place in our lounge area.

Friday 15th Jan 2010

Although we've been getting sleet for the last couple of days, the snow is still in good condition up on Glenshee and the skiers are taking full advantage of it!
Meanwhile, we are busy putting the final touches to our Burns Supper on Sat 23rd Jan which should be entertaining.
(for further details on Burns Supper look at our Special Occasions / Events page)

Monday 28th December 2009 - Skiing Weather's Here!

It's been a great skiing day today up on Glenshee and the bar is full of happy skiers and boarders talking about their day. The A93 is cleared and gritted and the ski hire shop next to our car park is open. As for us, the hotel is open throughout the day and evening for refreshments and light snacks from 8am every morning.
