News
TV - Earlier
this year we hosted the film crew for a
series planned for early 2010 being presented
by Clare Balding. The programme, Britain
by Bike, retraces the routes of Harold
Briercliffe’s cycle guides with the
original bike. Fortunately the weather
was fantastic while they were here so you
will be able to see many of your favourite
places in the lovely autumn sunshine. The
series is being shown on BBC4 and is planned
to start at the end of February 2010. An
update will be available from our website
as soon as we have more information.
Awards -
We have received some nominations for the
Scottish Hotel Awards 2010 and if you are
interested in taking part or voting please
see their website, http://www.scottishhotelsoftheyear.com/.
Wine
Tasting -
For those rainy days during the quieter
months of 2010, we will be starting wine
courses and people will be able to gain
the Wine
and Spirits Educational Trust Foundation
Certificate in Wines. For those interested
in food and wine, any courses offered
by Tkm Consulting are available during
your stay – please see the website for
a full list. All courses require a minimum
of two people.
Donations – Thank-you
for all your suggestions last year for
suitable charities to receive a donation
in lieu of Christmas Cards. In response
we have donated money to Macmillan Cancer,
the Kintail Mountain Rescue Team and the
Loch Duich Children’s Christmas Party.
