40 years later!

"Today reminded me of your wonderful hotel!

Forty years ago I was a student working in the Lovat Arms Hotel for the summer when it was owned by the Sabin family.


It is where I and all of the staff, who were a wonderful bunch of locals and students like myself from around the world, watched the men land on the moon. We all crammed into the little staff room at the back of the hotel next to the bar entrance and watched in awe on a black and white tv for hours on end until eventually they landed.

It was a memorable experience that will never leave me as will all the happy times that I had working in the hotel over three years.


There were some great locals working in the hotel also in the bar and the restaurant, real characters suppose now they have all passed on.


Anyway glad to see the hotel is going from strength to strength, just thought I would share this memory with you if you find any old photos from that period please let me know.
