Our Team We have a long-standing team of employees who are highly respected and empowered to make their own decisions. We have daily team meetings where everyone is involved in improving guest experiences and in plans and any projects that are underway. But most importantly, we’re here to make your #GartmoreExperience the very best it can be. We are Green Like many businesses in the local area, we are committed to finding new ways to protect the environment and reduce our carbon footprint. This has been a top priority for us since the beginning and, back in 1996, we installed a biomass boiler – one of the largest in Scotland at the time. We also produce our own electricity, hot water and heating on site using renewable energy. All laundry generated in the house is washed and laundered in our own laundry facilities and powered from renewables. While we maintain a high standard throughout, we are also mindful of the environment. We reclaim furniture from the finest 5-star hotels into Gartmore House. The Charitable Trust Gartmore House is part of Gartmore Estate, a not-for-profit charitable trust. All of our profits are channelled back into the upkeep, maintenance, and renovation of the house. We are also firm supporters of the local community. Our director Peter Sunderland has been instrumental in establishing the community-run Gartmore Shop and Black Bull Hub and Pub; safe-guarding them for the village. Community spirit is certainly alive and well in Gartmore! Find out more about how you can support Gartmore House as part of our Ambassador’s Club!
