Our Culture

Everything we do has our people and our guests at its heart and the future in mind.

Our spirit

At the heart of Clandeboye Lodge is the spirit of togetherness – a cycle of investment, trust and experience. We continue to invest in every aspect of our hotel’s grounds, facilities and staff. Our guests entrust us with their business, our staff with their working lives and we all share an experience that is mutually fulfilling. If it seems simple, it is, beautifully so.

Our people

Our passion for hospitality and our vision for this hotel would mean nothing without the people that make it real. Because we value and care for our fabulous team, we are defying the hospitality sector’s reputation for constantly changing workforces. As a result, contentment, loyalty and positivity is now embedded in everything we do. You can feel it.
