We’ve had a busy start to 2008, and the great news is that Raasay House is getting a face-lift. The whole house is being refurbished: new bathrooms, more bedrooms, improved IT facilities, conference and meeting rooms, a new bar area and kitchens and new central heating! Outside, a new purpose-built structure will house all the outdoor kit for the activities, and include changing and shower facilities and great new equipment. Caledonian MacBrayne have started work on a new ferry terminal in the harbour below the House allowing instant access to the house minutes after you arrive.
Completion of the terminal is scheduled to coincide with the opening of Raasay House with all its new facilities and visitor amenities in spring 2009. So…. you’ll be able to visit us all year round not just during the short summer season. We will be introducing new courses and activities as well as even better facilities for holidays, weddings, parties and special events.
Rest assured some things will not change: our trademark welcome, service and hospitality that have been such a feature of Raasay Outdoor Centre over the last 20 years will remain very much part of the Raasay House experience.
Although the doors of Raasay House are closed for 2008, we are still very much in business and still active. We’re running a small number of residential outdoor education courses during the summer at Comrie Croft in Perthshire as well as a summer school at Clifton Hall in Edinburgh. Most importantly, we’re already taking bookings for the 2009 season. Call us now on 01478 660266 to take advantage of our early bird discounts.
Join us as we embark on this exciting chapter in the development of Raasay House. Follow the refurbishment of the house on our website and see our plans take shape over the coming months. Contribute to our blog by sending us your ideas for the future and sharing your memories and experiences of the old Raasay House. The website will also have the latest details of new courses, activities and special launch events.
We very much look forward to welcoming you back to the new look Raasay House in 2009.
