September 2009

Dear Guest,

After nearly 20 years of Kinnaird as a Hotel my family and I have, with regret, decided to close the doors to the public with effect from 30th September 2009.

“Opening the House to the public on 4th July 1990 in memory of my late husband Reginald Ward meant sharing this marvellous place. Countless Halloween parties, summer soirées, weddings and other family gatherings have been celebrated. Guests became friends and have made Kinnaird what it always was to me – a home. With my 81st birthday this year, it is time for me to retire, and as the house is my home, it will join me. Thank you all for coming, and supporting my idea of a Relais & Chateaux in Perthshire. – God Bless you.”

After a 30 day consultation period, the Kinnaird team has been informed about the closure date, and Anne Schaeflein, the House Manager, will be in touch personally with each and every guest with standing reservations for the house and the restaurant.

All deposits will be refunded in full and help offered to find alternatives, tailored as best possible to each individuals needs and requirements.

The Kinnaird self-catering cottages and the fishing on the Estate continue to operate as before. The Estate team will be delighted to assist for any future reservations and other enquiries on +44 1796 482831 or via email cottages@kinnairdestate.com .

Contact details for all former Kinnaird team members can be passed on.

Yours sincerely

Constance Ward
Proprietor
