Originally named Corseyard Farm and known now as the Coo Palace, this architecturally unusual building was built between 1911 and 1914. Erected for the Manchester businessman James Brown, it was designed in the Gothic Revival style to resemble a fortified castle.

Its purpose was a Cattle Shed and it housed a herd of 12 cows. It eventually fell into a state of disrepair and lay derelict until it was bought to be converted into accommodation with HPB Coo Palace. Work was carried out on the site between 2018 and 2020, and it opened to receive guests at the start of 2020... https://okt.to/JBsSaI

It was nice to catch up with Mr McMath earlier this week, a local man with many stories about the history of our area. His famous Borgue Honey is available to buy in our wee on-site shop here at HPB Coo Palace. 🍯✨

is an area that was traditionally known for its dairy farming and bee-keeping, leading to it being called 'The Land of Milk and Honey'. If you Google there is a lot of interesting information about the history… 🐝

Managing Tigh Mor – and more… ✨

Six years on from starting his role at HPB Tigh Mor Trossachs, Site Manager Simon (pictured left, below) is still in love with our Scottish home – “I have to pinch myself sometimes just to make sure this isn’t all a dream,” he says – but as of July last year he’s added a second string to his bow, becoming Property Manager responsible for operations at the HPB Coo Palace, HPB Lucker Hall, HPB Braithwaite (and the HPB Ivy House Hotel) and HPB Witch's Pool.

“Being a Property Manager isn’t being a boss,” Simon avers. “It’s more about working with the individual Site Managers, being able to provide an overview when they’re embroiled in the day-to-day – zooming out if you like – providing support where necessary, and acting as a conduit between them and Head Office.

“It’s testing sometimes, but interesting,” he says. “Other sites face different challenges from those I get ‘at home’, but those experiences – some of them anyway – feed into my own site management at HPB Tigh Mor Trossachs. And I really enjoy working with the other Site Managers. “We’re a team.”

Burns Night is a time to enjoy traditions and celebrate the renowned poet Robert Burns with a classic combination of haggis, neeps, tatties, some reciting of poetry, and maybe even a warming dram. It's also an opportunity to celebrate Scotland's enduring legacy of creativity.... https://okt.to/WQ5fAu

"I have recently dined at Mr Pook’s Kitchen. Pre-covid, Giles Coren wrote an article in the Sunday Times about his stay in Galloway. 🍴

He praised Mr Pook’s but also raved about the Clachan Inn in St John’s Town of Dalry. I have dined there and would strongly recommend it.

Coren commented that his party of four paid what a meal of equal quality for one would have cost in London. The Clachan is a characterful pub serving excellent food at a modest price." ~ John Burnett
