‘’Our annual trips to the Craigmore Centre have always been one of my personal highlights of the year for many years. The scenic surroundings make Craigmore Centre the ideal location for small and large groups to stay. Everyone always loves the great
food, the bright atmosphere and staff who are always very helpful, friendly and welcoming every time we visit. For many of us not only do we love the great food and staff but also enjoy using all the facilities on offer including the rehearsal spaces and
sports hall for sports as well as groups events such as quizzes and ceilidhs. Thank you Gartmore for all the wonderful memories.’’
Michael MacLellan, Senior Pupil, West Calder High School.
‘’As a residential facility for instrumental groups, Craigmore centre offers extensive and flexible rehearsal space and accommodation – which suits all groups from wind bands to full orchestras and our young people love the en-suite dormitories. When our groups
are rehearsing in the Craigmore Centre, both staff and pupils work really hard and intensively but are sustained by the fantastic, hearty home-cooking – there’s always
a queue for seconds! What a gorgeous place to hold our residential rehearsal course – beautiful scenery, excellent rehearsal spaces and we were all looked after
so well by Craigmore Centre staff. We will be back!’’
Sandra Taylor, Fife Instrumental.

‘’I have been using the Craigmore Centre facilities now for twelve years – bringing Symphony Orchestras, Concert Bands and Choirs from East Renfrewshire and the West of Scotland Schools’ Symphony Orchestra Trust. The reason we keep coming back on
such a regular basis is down to the fantastic facilities which suit our ensembles so well, along with the friendliness and eagerness to help from every member of the Gartmore
team. They are all so friendly and will do anything they can to make our stays comfortable and ensure that every one of our young folk has such a memorable time. There are plenty of break-out spaces for our smaller rehearsals and the main hall is perfect for even the bigger ensembles. There is a large sports hall where the young
folk can let off steam playing sports or social events. The facilities have been regularly upgraded over the years. Meals are in the main house and the standard of cuisine is extremely high, with any special dietary needs catered for by the kitchen, with no fuss
whatsoever. I couldn’t recommend the Craigmore Centre at Gartmore House more highly for school or youth groups to hold their residential weekends or weeks. ’’
Donald Finlayson, East Renfrewshire Council.
‘’North Ayrshire Music Service regularly use Gartmore House for our Primary Band and String residential. The facilities at Gartmore are exactly what we need; excellent rehearsal
spaces and plenty of quality en-suite accommodation for pupils and staff. Being selfcontained in the Craigmore Centre with such large groups is really great and the
staff are always on hand if we need them.’’
Mae Murray, Music Service Manager, North Ayrshire Council.
