Testimonial - Manor View

Details:

In 2019 Manorview Hotels were researching lodge options for a new development planned at Cornhill Castle near Biggar, South West Scotland. Primarily a wedding venue, Cornhill Castle also attracted leisure customers seeking a relaxed stay and required additional accommodation to meet demands.

There were a strong number of options for the lodges but the team was seeking something special with the charm to complement the rural setting. One of the directors first became aware of the Finman Retreat at a trade show and knew it would be a fantastic fit for Cornhill Castle. This culminated in June 2021 with 7 lodges being constructed within Cornhill Castle grounds.

In Summer 2022 planning was approved for 10 new lodges at another site – Bowfield Hotel & Spa near Glasgow. The Finman Retreat was again considered an excellent fit. At Bowfield the guest experience was different so the specification was changed to primarily accommodate families which is an important market for Bowfield.

The ability for Logspan to bespoke design lodges to required specifications was a major reason for the choice. A special one-off ‘honeymoon suite’ lodge was also created to help attract additional wedding bookings to the hotel.

Customer feedback: Managing director David said:

“When thinking of our relationship with Logspan I would highlight the flexibility as being a major strength. Conor and his team went out their way to work with us to deliver a product that is not only attractive and desirable but also provides market leading value. Every stage of the design, planning, construction and snagging had a full presence from Logspan to ensure delivery was on time and on budget.”
