Douglas Community Development Company

Welcome

Welcome to the website for Douglas Arms Hotel where you can find out more about the project, take part in our online survey and see the latest plans & images about the restoration of the hotel.

This project is being delivered by a multi-disciplinary team on behalf of Douglas Community Development Company.

Vision: Douglas will be a vibrant and viable place to live, bring up a family and grow old.

Mission: To operate the best bistro with the most attractive accommodation in the South West of Scotland.

Values
1. Exceeding Expectations – Constantly improving our customer services
2. A home for locals – creating a place where local people want to eat, to gather and to learn
3. A welcome to strangers – extending visitors and tourists a hand of welcome where they can meet local people and discover the community and wider rural area.
4. Social impact – Re-investing 100% of our profit in the business and in community benefit and selling our business and a social enterprise
5. Something for everyone – though focussed on being a bistro with accommodation we want everyone in Douglas, of all ages and abilities, to feel this is theirs and they have a stake in it.
