Ayrshire Company launches a new concept in luxury accommodation for the hotel market.

Escape Lodges (Scotland) Ltd founded by design and construction specialists Gordon and Andrew Brown have launched a range of luxury natural wooden retreats specifically design for the hotel and restaurant industry. The Escape Lodges which presents something completely new to the hotel world has been developed over the last 18 months by the Ayrshire based father and son team.

The Escape which is an environmentally sustainable retreat that offers it’s guests a unique and exquisite hotel experience with it‘s quaint yet timeless romantic appeal.
Gordon and Andrews who’s back ground in bespoke Treehouse design and construction have created some of the world‘s most beautiful Treehouses, have now turn their experience to Escape Lodges. Gordon says “most lodges are either contemporary style boxes or out-dated rectangular hut shape buildings, both of course have there place. However they are not particularly appropriate for up market countryside hotels. We wanted to create something different that would not only be in keeping throughout the years but blend in with the surroundings while offering luxury for visiting guests Yet still being financially sustainable for the hotel operator.
Adding an Escape has huge benefits. By adding extra bedrooms at premium rates, a hotel operator can increase the number of guests using existing facilities. The extra revenue generated through increased bar and restaurant takings, a direct result of boosted occupancy, could add significantly to the operators turnover.

Escape Lodges which launched in February have already generated an encouraging amount of interest thought-out Scotland and the borders. With the first of the lodges being installed in early summer in the highlands of Scotland.

‘It’s exciting times’ says Andrew ‘although we’re obviously in an economic down turn, forward thinking hoteliers are looking to the future by generating additional streams of income while maximising there existing facilities and differentiating themselves from there competitors.
