Isle of Eriska Hilltop Reserves

Luxury Independent Guest Suites | Turn-key solution | 65% full occupancy before completion

Mozolowski & Murray turns a breathtaking location into a luxury experience

On a small Scottish Island sat a thriving hotel, with a Michelin star restaurant, luxury spa, breath-taking views and the best of Scottish hospitality. However, Beppo Buchannan and his wife Seona envisaged something more for their guests on The Isle of Eriska.

Recognising the desire for people to have more choice about their business and leisure experience while seeing a clear trend in people wishing to have more space and privacy but with access to onsite hotel facilities, Seona and Beppo approached Mozolowski & Murray to design and build what has become the stunning and exclusive “Hilltop Reserves.”

The first two reserves were so successful, with over 65% occupancy rates before completion, including 30 timeshare weeks at £10,000 per week, Mozolowski & Murray were scheduled to complete phase two, consisting of four further reserves. This second phase was completed six months later and the resort has become known worldwide as the Hilltop Reserves.

Full project design and management

Two units ready in just 8-weeks

No disruption to existing business

Intelligent design tailored for hospitality sector

Highest quality materials and finish

Built to last a lifetime and add value

Bourne out of the desire to offer guests a uniquely luxurious escape, with total privacy and breathtaking views but with the option to indulge in the hotels 5-star facilities, The Hilltop Reserves had to incorporate the best of everything. From intelligent design, key features and materials to quality of workmanship and overall finish, the reserves became an instant success.

With a scheduled 8-week completion timeframe and with many clients signing up to one week a year from simply seeing Mozolowski & Murray’s stunning 3D designs, it was imperative that the project went smoothly and delivered the highest quality that had become eagerly anticipated by a growing order book.

Commenting on his experience of the industry leading conservatory company, Beppo Buchannan, Managing Director of The Isle of Eriska Hotel said:

“It was essential that on deciding to expand Eriska with two one bedroomed luxury standalone self-catering suites we employed a company who understood our objectives and could reflect the high standards of our existing business. And for us, Mozolowski & Murray were the obvious choice.”

“For us, the fact that Mozolowski & Murray offered a complete turn-key solution was a key factor in deciding to go ahead with this project. They took care of everything from designs, planning consents and scheduling to quality standards, building control and ensuring our existing business was unaffected by the work that was taking place on the Island.

“Given we have asked them to build us another four is testament in itself, however, it is worth saying that the knowledge, experience and professionalism, not to mention total reliability of the Mozolowski & Murray team was first class. In our view, Mozolowski & Murray are by far the best in the business. Wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
