Delivering a refurbishment within a building of such heritage significance requires a careful balance between preservation and modernisation. Working alongside McKeon Group, we achieved that balance with confidence and precision.
From the outset, the team demonstrated a clear understanding of the design intent and the level of detail required for a five-star property. Their collaborative approach ensured that design decisions were respected and executed to an exceptionally high standard throughout.
Despite a demanding programme, communication and coordination on site were excellent, allowing challenges to be addressed proactively while maintaining the integrity of the overall vision.
The finished result reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that this project demanded, and it has been a pleasure to see the design brought to life so successfully. We are delighted with the outcome and the standard delivered.

Working with McKeon Group on the refurbishment of Haddington House Hotel was a genuinely lovely experience from start to finish. The team brought great energy, professionalism and attention to detail throughout the project, while always being approachable and easy to work with. There was a real buzz around the building during the refurbishment works, and it was fantastic to see the everyday improvements taking shape. Delivering works within a live hospitality environment is never without challenges, but the team made the process feel seamless through clear communication, flexibility and a collaborative approach. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat, and the team were all so lovely to work with.
