A five-star luxury hotel in South Ayrshire has scooped the ‘Best Independent Hotel in Scotland’ award for a second successive year – the first hotel to do so.
Glenapp Castle, the plush Relais & Chateaux hotel near Ballantrae, is this weekend celebrating two fantastic wins at The CIS Excellence Awards.
Joining their top prize, the Glenapp team also delighted in the hotel’s sales and marketing manager, Gillian Purdie, originally from Girvan, winning ‘Employee of the Year’.
Having left university just four years ago with an MA Honours in International Business, Gillian has progressed from a junior receptionist to Glenapp Castle’s sales and marketing manager.
Glenapp were first awarded the best independent hotel in Scotland prize in 2019, with the prestigious award being judged upon many factors, including ambience, guest satisfaction, facilities, ethical considerations and suitability.
Jill Chalmers, managing director of Glenapp Castle, said: “I am absolutely thrilled to hear that Glenapp Castle has received such brilliant recognition.
