The owners of The Ugadale and Royal Hotels announced last week that they will hold an Open Day for prospective employees interested in a career in hotel and restaurant services. The Open Day will be held at Argyll College on Saturday, 8 October from 1100 to 1700.

Candidates will have the unique opportunity to speak with General Manager Janette Jansson and other senior managers to learn more about the positions available at the soon to be open Ugadale Hotel in Machrihanish and the Royal Hotel in Campbeltown. Positions will be available in reception, reservations, housekeeping and food and beverage areas.

Re-Opening its doors after nearly 30 years, The Ugadale Hotel will be fully restored and feature twenty-two guest rooms and suites, The Kintyre Club restaurant and an innovative spa. The Royal Hotel is also currently being restored and will feature twenty-three elegant rooms, a gourmet restaurant and pub all overlooking Campbeltown Harbour.

"Both hotels continues to progress as expected with completion and opening to take place in early 2012,” said Marc Wexler, Project Executive for Southworth Development LLC. “We are excited to meet with people in the community who are interested in pursuing a career in the hotel and restaurant industry. Overall the Machrihanish Dunes project is estimated to create over 100 new jobs when complete."

In early 2011, Highland’s & Islands Enterprise announced its support to the tune of £2.2 million including £886,000 from the European Regional Development Fund to support the restoration of The Ugadale and Royal Hotels. Additional grant support is being provided by the Campbeltown Area Regeneration Scheme through Historic Scotland under the Historic Environment Regeneration Fund. The restoration of these two hotels are estimated to result in the creation of over 60 jobs and bring more than £3 million to the economy annually.

I believe that the last time the Ugadale was operating as a hotel was in 1976-1977 when it was owned by Mr S Beattie's family and therefore my arithmetic makes it over 34 years ago since it last operated as a hotel.
