Art & Design
Strattons is the family home of Les and Vanessa Scott who met at art college in the late 70’s. Art is an important ingredient in the development of the hotel. The building itself is on a constant rolling maintenance programme. Extensive renovation has taken place over the last 17 years using period and conservation materials, working with local skilled artisans who have the craftsmanship, sensitivity and sympathy for old buildings. There is an emphasis on regional building techniques and materials used in this part of the Brecks and incorporating the owner’s passion for the environment.
Les and Vanessa feel they are caretakers rather than owners of this unique listed building, maintaining and ensuring its longevity for future generations to enjoy.
Art is a strong theme from the murals in the rooms, mosaics, painted canvasses through to sculptures both inside and outside the building; the interior design is created by the art team at Strattons.
The huge stag that greets you when you first arrive at the hotel by local sculptress Rachael Long, is symbolic of the Brecks natural habitat, the use of recycled agricultural iron re-endorses the hotels environmental policy.
