Award-winning chef and hotelier, Tom Lewis, has been in the hospitality sector for 40 years. His mother purchased Monachyle Mhor (when it was a humble guesthouse) in 1983, and Tom took
over the business in 2005, turning it into the luxury boutique hotel that it is today.

A hardy band of well-meaning souls from the Commercial and Intermediary teams at The Cumberland spent their Halloween volunteering rather than chasing ghosts.

As part of our series exploring opportunities for hospitality business owners to expand, we spoke to Julian Troup, Head of UK Hotels at Colliers real estate agents, about the current trends, challenges and opportunities in the hospitality sector.

The Cumberland has teamed up with other experts across the hospitality lending space to share advice for business owners on how they can safely expand their hospitality business, despite a challenging economic climate.

A Scottish family-run holiday let business is continuing to expand its portfolio thanks to ongoing support from specialist hospitality lenders, The Cumberland.

Monachyle Mhor, Mhor 84 and Calair Cottage, a distinguished and award-winning collection of retreats nestled in the picturesque Scottish countryside, has benefitted from more than £1.7m in investment from expert hospitality lenders, The Cumberland Building Society.

The Cumberland has invested more than £45m into Scotland’s tourism sector in the last two years. This support is needed now more than ever, with 52% of Scottish businesses are still in survival mode amid the cost-of-living crisis and rising interest rates.
