Residents of a ‘millionaires’ village are furious that a posh local hotel has been taken over by the Home Office to house up to 90 asylum seekers from Syria, Iraq and Somalia.
It is understood that, within days, the first arrivals from a temporary facility in Northern Ireland will check in to the award-winning Bothwell Bridge Hotel in South Lanarkshire.
Famed for its lavish weddings, the hotel boasts a contemporary Italian restaurant, ‘sophisticated’ bar, free wi-fi and a flat screen TV in every room.
