Suspend it like Beckham - Achnagairn House

Situated to the North of Hyde Park in London, encompassing Zen inspiration and minimalistic art, the Hempel Hotel was a celebrity favourite attracting the likes of the Beckhams and Michael Jackson to name but a few. In March of this year, the iconic boutique hotel was bought by a property developer leaving the contents of the 40 bedrooms and 20 suites to be auctioned off.

Here at Perfect Manors, we were particularly excited to learn that the contents of the Lioness Suite - the Beckham’s favourite - were to appear at the eagerly anticipated auction. And, yes, it gets more exciting! Perfect Manors were the lucky winners of the suite’s contents and we are delighted to announce that the suspended bed, the glass coffee table, the mini bar and the two TVs will feature in one of our  fantastic properties, we are not sure of the exact location just yet, however we expect it to be incorporated into one of our amazing new lodges.

In order to fully preserve the beauty of the Lioness Suite and give our guests the chance to live like the Beckhams, we plan on suspending the 10ft 5in by 8ft 2in bed frame from the ceiling. With the luxurious, five star contents of the Hempel Hotel being transported to one of the Perfect Manors locations, we plan on bringing a little bit of stylish and cosmopolitan London to the Scottish Highlands.

Our accommodation in Inverness is breathtaking, exclusive and unique. At Perfect Manors, we believe that these values are most applicable to our recent purchase. With our glorious bedrooms, bathrooms and ballroom, Perfect Manors has the ‘wow’ factor and the capability to take anybody’s breath away. There is no doubt that the modern, suspended stainless steel bed will do exactly that too. As for uniqueness, where else in Scotland would you have the opportunity to sleep in not only bed that David Beckham has slept in, but in one that hangs from the ceiling? Moreover, where else in Scotland has an exclusive London suite and its entirety been transported? Nowhere. If this post has brought you as much excitement and anticipation as the auction brought us then please keep an eye out for further details and look forward to living like a Beckham!

Achnagairn Estate- A Celebration with Poetry in Motion

Whether you are writing a wedding speech, best man speech or a celebration speech- it is hard to be original or unique whilst captivating the floor. We held a super birthday celebration in the sumptuous ballroom at Achnagairn House near Inverness this weekend - but what made this truly different was that the celebration speeches were presented in verse rather than prose -

Sounds a silly thing to do,
But we should let you know,
For special celebrations,
It is the only way to go!

If you are looking for a 21st birthday party theme, to make it even more quirky, this family decided to combine a husband's 50th birthday celebration, his wife's 50th birthday celebration and their daughter's 21st birthday party. It all seemed rather fitting because the historic owner of Achnagairn House back in 1912, built the stunning ballroom to host his daughter's 21st birthday ball!

Mixing the different generations was easy because Achnagairn House (brought to you by Perfect Manors) we not only offers luxury accommodation in our Downton Abbey style manor but also really proud of our new luxury 5 star self-catering lodges. These lodges have been built and designed to the highest standard by Gillian Lacey-Solymar. Each Highland holiday lodge has its own theme and within that each bedroom is bespoke, just like those in our mansion house. We love our fun themes (and rhymes) and just to give you an example one lodge is called 'Rhapsody' and each guest bedroom is called after a favourite song. There's 'Red Red Wine' (UB40), 'It must be love' (Madness), 'Tit Willow' (Gilbert and Sullivan) and 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend' (Marilyn Monroe).
