Hi, I hope you enjoy reading Fludha's blog

Hi my names Steve and with my wife Christine we own and run Fludha which is a 5 Star Luxury Guest House in Kirkcubdbright, Dumfries & Gallway, Scotland. My posts will cover my personal view of life as a guest house owner - warts and all. Hopefully informative and (occasionally) funny.

Gosh, it actually happened! I feel as thought it was all a dream but happily its true. I really did marry my princess!  All our plans came together and Christines talent for color co-ordination really showed as every little thing from napkin bows, cars kilts balloons and flowers everything looked like the centre page of vogue

 Best Day of our lives.  Thanks to all our guests for making it such a wonderful occasion

Spring is in the air

In May this year we will be starting our 5th year in business here at Fludha.  It has been an amazing time, starting the business from scratch I am happy to report the business has grown from strength to strength.  For the first 3 month of this year alone we are 50% busier than last year for the same period.  With bookings for April already exceeding last years total we are guaranteed a great start to the year.  This year sees us with a new chef starting.  Helen previously ran her own hotel before family commitments meant they had to give that up.  So she is well qualified to continue bringing top quality food to your table.  I am also pleased to report that after the quiet winter we have managed to retain all our staff and indeed have plans to take on some more.  Not to worry though, even though we now have a lot of help we are still a hands on business, here to ensure everything runs smoothly and that the high standards that Chris has set are maintained.  The lighter nights are here the weather is warming up, thankfully we don't suffer from natural disasters or have problems with airports so I believe we are going to get even busier.  Part of our success must also come down to our competitive pricing structure as we provide the only 5 star accommodation in the area at less than many 3 star hotels, so, why not take advantage and come and enjoy yourselves here in Glorious Galloway.  We look forward to meeting you, or indeed welcoming you back!!
