Argyll hotel, Stonefield Castle is celebrating four star rating success after an annual assessment by the AA.
Awarded to hotels that demonstrate high levels of service and guest accommodation - and assessed using quality standards enforced by the AA and UK tourist authorities - the four star award is highly sought after, recognising the efforts that go into making any venue a top destination and visitor experience.
Set in 60 acres of lush woodland gardens just two miles from the fishing village of Tarbert, the 19th century Baronial castle has retained its respectable three star rating for a number years. However, following its £750,000 refurbishment the castle now adds a further star to its well-earned collection.
This award is just one of many the hotel has received having been named this year’s Hotel of Beauty by Hotel Review Scotland. Its restaurant also recently gained an AA Rosette Award for Excellence.
Commenting on their outstanding achievement, Stonefield Castle Hotel’s General Manager, Elaine Fyffe says: “As it was a mystery inspection we were overwhelmed to find out that we had been awarded an additional star and it’s given the staff a real lift and rewarded them for their commitment and efforts over the past months.
“Every day we see how much out guests enjoy staying with us so this really is the icing on the cake and makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
Mark Edwards, Managing Director at Oxford Hotels and Inns, which owns Stonefield Castle, adds: “We strive to ensure every aspect of a guests’ stay is perfect, providing a first class service, a warm welcome and outstanding surroundings which is why I believe this four star rating is so well deserved – well done to the team.”
Oxford Hotels and Inns has a portfolio of over 40 unique properties across the British Isles, offering fine cuisine, luxurious spa treatments, first class conferencing facilities, championship golf experiences, weddings and relaxing retreats.
