The Seamill Hotel is to stay closed until April.

A spokesperson explained: "Following a review of the most recent statements from the Scottish Government and to provide greater clarity to our team and our clients we have decided to remain closed until no earlier than 1st April 2021.

"We hope that the continued vaccination program will soon allow our sector to start on the hard road to recovery.

"We would like to again acknowledge each and every person in our team and indeed the hospitality sector during this incredibly difficult and worrying time for so many.

"We can not wait to see you again very soon."

Due to our reduced staffing levels, customers have been asked to not contact he hotel and instead email at reservations@seamillhydro.co.uk

The spokesperson added: "Our team, many of whom are working from home will get back to you as soon as possible.

"Look after each other and hopefully we will see you soon."
