Change in the leisure sector
Scotland’s hospitality industry is constantly evolving. Operators are investing in their venues to give guests a better experience, strengthen their position and grow long term.
At EQ Accountants, we’re proud to work with hospitality and leisure businesses, through periods of investment, growth and change. A major refurbishment brings opportunities as well as challenges. There’s a lot to think about, from commercial, financial and legal matters to tax, so that your investment delivers lasting value.
Dalhousie Castle Hotel refurbishment
We were delighted to support Dalhousie Castle Hotel with its recent refurbishment. The project has transformed the guest bedrooms, public spaces and dining, while keeping the history and character that make the castle such an iconic Scottish destination. It has also enhanced the hotel’s luxury offering and opened up exciting opportunities for leisure stays, destination dining, weddings and private events.

Projects of this size are rarely delivered by one adviser alone. One of the most rewarding parts of this project was the collaborative approach we took from start to finish. It was a pleasure to work alongside 7 Hospitality Management and Gilson Gray LLP, bringing together hospitality, legal and financial expertise to help the client reach its goals and set the business up for the future.
Specialist advisors
This project highlights the value of bringing in specialist advisers early on in a refurbishment or redevelopment. When operational, legal and financial insight come together, you can make informed investment decisions, make the most of opportunities and focus on giving your guests an exceptional experience.

We continue to support hotels, leisure operators and hospitality businesses across Scotland as they invest, grow and evolve. If you’re planning a refurbishment or redevelopment, get in touch with our team. We’re with you every step of the way.
Congratulations to the team at Dalhousie Castle Hotel on this impressive transformation, and thank you to 7 Hospitality Management and Gilson Gray Solicitors for the chance to work together on such a fantastic project.
