Planning our Winter Events becomes more challenging and exciting each year and I think once again, we have a great selection to offer you!
Once again we have teamed up with Woodwinters of Bridge of Allan and Edinburgh and this has helped us lift the quality and diversity of our events. We have increased the number of events again this year and have kept prices the same, absorbing all the duty and tax changes to make sure we are delivering the best value for money possible.
Our annual American evening with Trevor Hughes and Chef Mark Salter, both professional and personal friends of over twenty years, each at the very top of their field, is always a great night. Last year Mark and I purchased a landmark Eastern Shore Inn. It's going to be another action packed Winter . . . . can't wait!
Book a Friday or Saturday Event and you can have the Thursday and/or Sunday evening at half the bed and breakfast rate!
Remember any of these Events make for fantastic Gifts, please contact Jean, Ally or Elinor for more details.
