Always Argyll, Always Argyll

Scotland has many opportunities to stay in Castles, or hotels with Castle in their name.  One of our favourites is Stonefield Castle in Argyll, it takes a bit longer to get to than many other similar properties, but we feel it's really worth it.  The drive to get there is almost as good as the location once you arrive.

Standing high above the Kintyre peninsula offering spectacular views over Loch Fyne.  Set in 60 acres of woodland grounds and situated above the fishing village of Tarbet, this 32 bedroom hotel offers the best in true luxurious Scottish hospitality.  Glide through the baronial hallways of Stonefield Castle sensing it's unrushed grandeur as you ponder it's hidden secrets waiting to be uncovered.

With special offers available, including 2 nights for the price of 1 from £50 per person for B&B and only £75 per person for Dinner B&B, what are you waiting for?

Golfing Breaks in Perthshire

Kinross is in Perthshire but you couldn't really get much closed to Fife as it's right on the border of both counties, which makes it an ideal location for golfers. Especially when you have a choice of two hotels, run by the same family one of which has it's own Golf Course.

The 4 star Green Hotel and it's 3 star sister The Windlestrae are ideally located in Kinross with it's excellent transport links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth, a haven for golfers looking for a well managed short break. But also popular with leisure guests looking for a relaxing break.

The warm friendly atmosphere in both hotels ensures that guests come back again and again. Both hotels are offering great value short breaks this springtime, including murder mystery breaks and tribute acts. To find out more about the Green Hotel click here and for the Windlestrae click here.

Fife Golf Idea

While we're in The Kingdom of Fife, there's a great golf pass available which offers superb value with five rounds of golf from £99. The courses are all in close proximity to each other and the golf group have promoted the locations really creatively with a fly through tour of the area using Google Earth

Ian McCaig from The Edge who's online marketing comp-any produced the feature, "The Google Earth feature is great for promoting destinations and product such as First in Fife Golf and as a low cost promotional tool offers tremendous return on investment for tourism businesses.

Two Excellent Loch Lomond Hotels

There are many examples of fine hotels near the tourist hot spot of Loch Lomond, but it's rare to get two so close to each other but that's how it is in the town of Drymen.  Loch Lomond has two distinct tourist offerings, on it's Western shores you will find the world famous Cameron House Hotel, beloved of the Scottish national Football team and many other famous celebrities, it's also the side most people visit because of it's proximity to the A82, the main scenic route to the North of Scotland.

However, those in the know eschew the business of the Western shores and head for the Eastern end of the Loch, so beloved of walkers forging north at the beginnig of the famous West Highland Way, and it's in the town of Drymen where you will find the Buchanan Arms Hotel and The Winnock.  We're big fans of both of these hotels, both are really friendly with great food, service and warm friendly public spaces.

Not to mention the great scenery of Loch Lomond.  Right now, both hotels are offering great value 2 night Dinner Bed & Breakfast breaks for less than £100 per person.  To find out more about The Winnock click here, and for the Buchanan Arms click here.
