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.

Delighted at the news!    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.
