ClunyBank Hotel

.

Pleased to meet you!

Your hosts are Lloyd and Julia Kenny who proudly took over the hotel on 27 June 2006 and we would like to welcome you to our home.We have worked in the hospitality industry since being teenagers and we are looking forward to the new challenges of owning and running the hotel.

We both come from Preston in Lancashire and moved to Forres from Spalding in Lincolnshire, where we owned and successfully ran a Public House and Restaurant for five years. The decision to move came after the birth of our daughter Alyx  as we wanted to find somewhere to settle before she started school. The Pub sold very quickly and we were viewing a few places. Lloyd came to view Cluny Bank in February 2006 and fell in love with the place. We then started the proceedings of buying the hotel without me even seeing it. Although I trust my husband I had my reservations. We had holidayed many times on the west side of Scotland and although it is beautiful, peaceful and quiet, the weather can be quite wet, it is pretty barren and secluded in places and I was a bit worried about being able to settle in a remote place.

My first visit to Forres in May of 2006 put all my trepidations at ease. Coming of the A9 at Inverness and driving Eastwards I could not believe how green it was, the views and scenery were beautiful , the weather was stunning  and the roads are a pleasure to drive on.. I immediately fell in love with Forres having litter free streets, floral displays everywhere, the peacefulness and  sense of relaxation, I could not wait to move.

Suffice to say since moving here we have enjoyed every minute of it, there is so much within easy reach of Forres and the weather has been absolutely brilliant (we have one of the lowest rainfalls in Britain).

Anyway that is how we came to be here. we are a couple who have alot of pride in what we do and we are here to make our guests stay as comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable as we possibly can.. We hope to see you in the future.  

Look out for updates on the website as information will be changing.

Best wishes

Lloyd and Jules
