Hi Everyone just a wee update for you.
The team here at Maythorne hope you are all well and looking forward to getting away very soon for a relaxing break. We are still closed but we are looking to open in about 4-5 weeks.
In the meantime we have started getting the place ready for a safe opening, helped by a fantastic company who have deep cleaned and sprayed our premises giving us 30 days Covid 19 free surfaces, which we will be renewing every month. We thought it might be worth sharing with you as not many people or company's are aware of such a process. Very much to our surprise it was not expensive. Hopefully we will see you soon
Alan , Lynn and team.

" I am sorry wee fella we are closed , our last guest left this morning."
" Oh no whit am ah gonnae do fur ma holidays "
" if your mum has booked, get her to call us nearer the time"

From all the Team at Maythorne stay safe and hopefully we will see you all again very soon.

Alan & Lynn, Karen, Lesley and Irene.
