Staff at Renfrewshire's only five-star hotel face an uncertain future after the business fell into administration.

Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort, located on a 240-acre woodland estate in Bishopton, currently employs over 100 staff.

Management consulting company EY-Parthenon's Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy team was appointed as joint administrators of Mar Estates Limited on Tuesday, August 22.

A statement issued by EY-Parthenon confirmed the Mar Hall Golf and Spa Resort would continue to trade as usual while a potential sale of the business is explored.

It reads: "On August 22, 2023, Andrew Dolliver, Kris Aspin and Luke Charleton of EY-Parthenon's Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy team were appointed as Joint Administrators of Mar Estates Limited, trading as Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort (“the Resort”).

"Located on a 240-acre woodland estate, Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort is a five-star luxury hotel near Glasgow, employing 118 staff.

"The Resort continues to trade on a business-as-usual basis. Existing bookings and gift vouchers remain valid. Any customer enquiries should be directed to info@marhall.com.
