Castleton
has been privately owned and run by David and Verity Webster since July
2000
David and Verity form
a strong partnership dedicated to the hotel in
every way. They not only lead the management but
take an active part in all aspects of every day
business.
David has a strong and successful 25 year history in hotel management,
including some of the most prestigious hotels of both London and Scotland
including the Savoy and Turnberry, whilst Verity brings interior design
skills, management and administration experience as well as her invaluable
training as a registered general nurse.
The Raemoir House Hotel, Banchory,
was at last purchased in February 2006. The duo of Castleton and
Raemoir is a fabulously strong partnership with each benefiting from the
other in a number of ways but particularly in management, training,
staffing and purchasing. At the Raemoir we are tenants of Dunecht
Estate and this brings a third supporting dimension, with access to a
number of sporting opportunities.

Isle
of Eriska
Nr Oban |
Situated on the scenic west coast of Scotland,
Eriska’s secluded setting makes it the perfect
place to relax in tranquil surroundings.
Eriska has an excellent spa and swimming pool
complex. It is such a joy after being
pampered and subdued to a virtual doze to
gently stroll along the sea shore and not to
suffer the rude awakening of traffic and urban
life. |

Kinloch
Lodge
Isle of Skye
|
Kinloch Lodge is
owned by Godfrey, Lord Macdonald
of Macdonald and his wife Claire Macdonald
of Macdonald, the well known cookery writer and
demonstrator. Their daughter Isabella
and her husband Tom are the managers and over the winter months
in 2008 they have renovated, decorated and
completely renewed the hotel. If you have been
before you must go again and if you haven't
been I would thoroughly recommend you do. |
