A PERTHSHIRE hotel where The Beatles once stayed has been sold to a local hospitality professional who has spent most of her career with five-star chains.
The Four Seasons in St Fillans has been acquired by Susan Stuart for £795,000 from Andrew Low. Ms Stuart said she was “living the dream” after finalising a deal with Colliers International.
Ms Stuart has spent the last 25 years working with hotel chains such as Sheraton and InterContinental, as well as launching the award-winning London venue, Roundhouse.
She said that it was the staff that impressed on her first visit and added: “staff engaged with guests and that, combined with amazing views, is without doubt a winning combination. I feel privileged to be the guardian of what is one of the most outstanding hotels in the area”.
Having originally built in the early 1800s, in its current incarnation the hotel has twelve bedrooms, six chalets and a holiday apartment, many of which have views of Loch Earn.
And with a Beatles Break on offer, fans of the Fab Four even have the chance to stay in the chalet once shared by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Why are you making commenting on HeraldScotland only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
