Looks like Andy's hotel isn't doing the best:

Jon will know best having stayed there, but I do wonder whether there's quite the market for that kind of hotel - £700/night would also get you a 5 star hotel in central Paris - in Dunblane?

Yeah, I had seen this - my impression was a lot of investment and capital outlay is going in and this was captured in the results in professional papers, when I read it. ie the loss was expected.

That said, it is high end and there are only 15 rooms, I think, or suites, at the hotel. The restaurant is well attended by locals and guests alike, always busy, but the hotel itself seemed quite empty; partly reflecting the price. We booked the entry level rooms at a lot lower price (a lot lower!) and got upgraded to the top suite that i mentioned elsewhere, and it was lovely - it would have cost £900 and, agreeing with you, who would pay that for a few nights in Dunblane?

I do think it is lovely but over priced for the location - agreed

Seems Andy and Djoko have split - not a major surprise there, Id say. Interested to understand more on the whys and wherefore of that whole relationship.

Never really understood that partnership TBH.

Not sad or surprised

Would love to know some of the behind the scenes details on how things disintegrated in recent weeks - maybe Andy will publish a tell-all autobiography at some point

Delighted at the news! biggrin Some background in this article by Russell Fuller on the Beeb site. I like the Medvedev quote:

"It's like Messi becoming the coach of Cristiano Ronaldo," was the Russian's view of the situation.

I'm pleased that he put it that way round, too.

It seems that NoDjo reckons that he couldn't have got any more out of his partnership with Andy.

Just been to Andys stage show organised as a chat with Andrew Cotter. Great fun and although most of the stories that he talked about have been covered in the press and probably on this forum, it was an entertaining event and very droll with both speaking in their very understated witty way.

As well as talking about his Wimbledon wins and the other successes, and indeed difficulties, it was good to see him talk about his happy family life with Kim and the children.

As a Christmas present from my wife, this was a nice evening ahead of Wimbledon.
