BRIDGE OF ALLAN
he Meadowpark in Bridge of Allan, part of the Signature Group, has pulled back the curtains on its new luxury guest accommodation. The Meadowpark on Kenilworth Road now has four new stylish guest rooms for overnight visitors following a three-month, over £500,000 makeover. The creation of a local design team, the Interior Collection, the four-star quality assured guest rooms are brimming with character, charm and original period features, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing and panelled, original sash and case windows and of course their spectacular spiralling original staircase. Each spacious room enjoys views towards Stirling Castle and the surrounding countryside, taking its name and design inspiration from the local environment and landmarks, such as The Wallace, Castle View, Deanston and Airth Park. Three of the rooms at the Meadowbank are king-sized doubles and the fourth room includes a four-poster bed. David and Emily Johnson, who are the father-anddaughter duo behind the Interior Collection, have over 30 years of experience in the industry and worked closely with the Meadowpark team to create a fun, eclectic interior which would leave a lasting memory for guests. 22 • HOTELSCOTLAND
David said, “The brief was to create a unique interior which would be memorable to the Meadowpark guests and act as a natural follow on from the fun and lively interior that the Meadowpark is already known for. It’s very exciting to unveil these four new rooms and we’re really pleased with how they have worked out. “We worked very closely with Corrinne at Corrinne Muir Interiors who specialise in designing and manufacturing beautiful interiors - and they are experts at working with the top hotels in the hospitality industry including Gleneagles and Fonab Castle. Corrinne supplied and made the vision happen. “We have used beautiful fabrics from Mulberry, GPJ Baker and Moon to create stunning curtains, fabulous wallcoverings from Sketch 23 and Liberty London and incredible murals which we have used in bathrooms. We used fun pieces of furniture in each room along with great lighting which creates a unique feel to each room. “Euan Bain, Director at The Meadowpark, added, “After an extensive makeover by David and Emily, as well as the wider team, we believe these very special guest rooms combine contemporary style with period charm and fantastic views towards Stirling Castle. We’re so thrilled to be welcoming guests who have given us such lovely feedback already on the rooms.”
