Welcome back to Airds

WE ARE NOW TAKING ACCOMMODATION BOOKINGS FROM 22nd JULY

We have missed all our guests over the last few months however, I am delighted to let you know that we now have a re-opening date of 22^ndJuly (subject to government guidelines) and we can’t wait to welcome you back.

We are so lucky to be located on the Scottish west coast with its beautiful scenery and spaciousness – it’s about as safe an environment as you can get and one where activities and sightseeing providers can comfortably accommodate social distancing guidelines.

For our part we have been busy planning exactly what we can and can’t do and have been working on detailed plans of how Airds will run in this new world. New procedures are being put in place and the staff are scheduled in to be thoroughly trained to ensure we can re-open with few compromises – retaining our quality and services whilst being safe both for you and for our team.

The restaurant will however remain closed to non-residents until further notice. Non-residents however will be more than welcome to join us for lunch and afternoon tea in the garden and we just know that the weather is going to be superb this summer!

If you need to speak to us, please call 01631 730236

With our warmest wishes and a very excited team just waiting to give you the warmest of welcomes

Robert and all the team at Airds

Stay Safe

I would like to reassure all our guests that risk assessments have been undertaken and the strictest of cleaning and hygiene protocols are in place that meet and exceed government guidelines. I am also pleased to announce that we have just been granted a certificate by VisitScotland which confirms that 'we're good to go'.

There will inevitably be adjustments as to how we interact with you, our guests and how we maintain the high levels of service you have come to expect from Airds. We ask that during these difficult times that you bear with us and understand that such changes are necessary. I can assure you that we have your interests at heart and our focus is not only on the delivery of the best of service and food, but keeping you safe at the same time. I am sure that we will make a few mistakes on the way given this is so new to all of us, but please do tell us as we are always keen to improve.
