Having worked all over the world, including Argentina, Hong Kong and New York, alongside having a master of business administration under his belt, Stephane has a wealth of knowledge about creating a memorable hospitality experience.

He said: "I think it is important to value our guest and their four-legged friends which should receive the same treatments and hospitality.

"Our hospitality extends to all who visit Drumossie."
