Cornhill Castle is a boutique hotel, wedding and events venue based in Biggar (South Lanarkshire). With a grand ballroom, bar and restaurant, 13 bedrooms and 7 beautiful lodges with hot tubs, the venue is surrounded by stunning Scottish scenery and has stylish décor throughout.

A popular and well-loved wedding venue, the castle hosts many special wedding days, where we go above and beyond to bring the magic that our couples dream of. Attracting local, national and international guests, people also join us for short breaks or special celebrations.

In the role of General Manager, it's essential that you can lead confidently, be consistent and decisive, and support all departments – always ensuring a high standard of guest experience.

As we're committed to making life better for people through hospitality, we're looking for someone who will always care for others, bring their best and keep moving forward. A positive, growth mindset is a must.

  • Manage the day-to-day operation of the venue

We value General Managers who are active in the operation and will strike the right balance between daily operational tasks, and management/leadership responsibilities.

Delivering a high volume of weddings, the position would suit someone with experience of weddings and events. Hotel/accommodation and FB experience is also valuable.

While we're looking for relevant skills and experience, we also want someone who shares our vision of a hospitality industry that is better and sees themselves being part of a team who can make this happen.

In addition to a competitive salary, earnings are also enhanced by our 10% service charge and other tips that guests leave – as 100% of tips are retained by the team.
