For my wife's Xmas present. I'm thinking maybe £150 bed, breakfast and dinner for 2 if that's realistic. Preferably in the countryside in a nice looking building.
Has anyone seen any good deals or stayed anywhere they could recommend?
Stobo Castle.
Mabie House Hotel
Shieldaig Lodge Hotel, near Gairloch.
We had a couple of nights there last month and it was fantastic.
Bridge of Orchy Hotel is always worth it too.
Where are you traveling from, Scotland is a big old place, perhaps we could save some traveling time...
He's obviously not from Thurso 🙂
Torridon Hotel or variant thereof.
proper posh -- friends run Forss House, up by Wick.
They used to run the Ackergill Tower (!)
plenty of scope TBH. Go on TripAdvisor and pick a location.
My choice would always be Arisaig House.
Not sure if Calgary Bay hotel still running on Mull.
Somewhere out Ardnamurchan?
How about the Baltasound Hotel, nice and secluded, great for peace and quiet.
The Gables Gretna?
Auchrannie will do that sort of price/deal (Arran) - especially outside of school holidays...
Peebles hydro had a Black Friday thing going on. Plenty to do in local area.
We'll be travelling from near St Andrews. Lots of choice there but quite expensive. Hopefully I'd like something that's about an hours drive away.
Have been to Mabie House before and liked it but that's probably a bit too far.
Now it's narrowed down can I offer you:[url= http://www.ballathiehousehotel.com/ ]Very nice indeed[/url]
An hour away? Hardly worth going! 😆
Hydro at Pitlochry or Crieff, or Doubletree in dunblane, all have cheap deals on in winter. Mrs_oab sister just stayed at Doubletree for £48 night on Groupon.
We go every year for a night to the Barley Bree in Muthill near Creiff. It's more of a restaurant with rooms but the food is amazing, the rooms lovely and the wee lounge dead relaxing. The Creiff hydro is just up the road if you fancy all the spa stuff and the comrie Croat trails are also nearby.
I like the Atholl Arms at Dunkeld.
Not particualrly luxurious, well, not luxurious at all really, but get a room overlooking the Tay, and great views over to Birnam hill.
4 or 5 places to eat in the village, 3 decent pubs too.
The Oak Tree in Balmaha on Loch Lomond is very nice.
