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.
