Greywalls Hotel

Parties, tennis and afternoon tea — those Edwardians certainly knew how to have a good time.

So why not embrace your own Edwardian chic on a stay for two in a 5-star country house hotel?

Built in the early 1900s, Greywalls overlooks the Firth of Forth and is known as a golfer’s paradise. Thanks to its award-winning fine dining in the Chez Roux restaurant, it is also a gourmet paradise.

Designed by famous architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, Greywalls hotel fully embodies Scottish country house splendour.

Overlooking the world-famous Muirfield championship course, it is no surprise that Greywalls has earned a stellar reputation with golfers. Yet there is so much more to this graceful mansion house than golf.

You can also enjoy sweeping Firth of Forth views, a fine dining restaurant and plenty of Edwardian charm in the drawing rooms, lounges and library. And let’s not forget the walled gardens designed by the famous Gertrude Jekyll, including a grass tennis court, croquet lawn and putting green.

Edwardian period decor

Today’s Big Deal is for a stay for two with breakfast included. Option one is for a large cottage room and option two is for a large main house room.

Each of the 23 en suite bedrooms at Greywalls is unique with its own décor, period touches and antique furnishings.

Most rooms enjoy uninterrupted views over either Muirfield and the Firth of Forth, or the gardens and gentle rolling farmlands leading to the Lammermuir Hills.

The hotel’s award-winning Chez Roux restaurant is the brainchild of superstar chef Albert Roux, so expect classical French dishes that showcase local produce.

Although dishes change regularly, typical mains might include the poached Loch Duart salmon, the roast breast of Gartmorn duck and the Gilmour’s beef fillet rolled in onion ash.

Note, dining is not included with the Big Deal.

We have mentioned that Greywalls Hotel has a lot to offer golfers. But if that’s not your bag, then there’s plenty more to see in the area, including coastal walks, wildlife watching and castles such as Tantallon. Plus Edinburgh is only a 30-minute drive away.

Available seven days a week until 29th February 2020, with a £30 supplement for Saturday night stays. Festive shut-outs apply.

Every so often, you need to get away from everyday life and enter a world of peaceful drawing rooms, fine dining and coastal strolls.

Knockinaam Lodge

‘Is this the most exquisitely located hotel in Scotland?’ pondered The Telegraph’s destination expert when visiting Knockinaam Lodge.

It sounds like it:

‘With a perfectly private beach looking across the Irish Sea, it’s the most relaxing of country house hotels: subtly polished to near perfection but not tiresomely grand. You may feel yourself nodding off, but what a heavenly place to wake up to.’

Wake up to today’s Big Deal on a one or two night stay at Knockinaam Lodge, the only luxury boutique hotel in Dumfries and Galloway.

Set in 30 acres of stunning landscaped grounds which stretch down to a private beach, Knockinaam welcomes guests with personalised service, stunning individual rooms, and a delightful, intimate and romantic atmosphere.

It has won many awards including three AA red stars and three AA Rosettes for its exquisite food.

Available seven days a week, the offer is for two people to stay one or two nights in a double or twin standard room with full Scottish breakfast each morning.

Option one includes arrival tea or coffee with shortbread. Options two and three include a five course tasting menu on the first evening.

Candlelit restaurant

Knockinaam Lodge has a great reputation for the tremendous food prepared by Chef Tony Pierce and served in the romantic, candlelit restaurant.

The kitchen makes as much as possible in-house – from freshly baked bread each day to the wonderful raspberry jam and marmalade at breakfast or the tasty petit fours at the end of dinner.

The five course tasting style menu changes regularly but typical dishes might be the grilled fillet of wild sea bass with a tomato and red pepper emulsion or the slow roast fillet of Speyside Angus beef with Knockinaam new potatoes, green broccoli, a garlic beignet and a truffle and port reduction.

Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa and Island

There is a certain magic around the idea of escaping to a private island. That’s why we usually think of it as a luxury reserved only for millionaires.

The five star Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Island certainly looks like a million dollars. Set in a traditional country manor house, it offers gorgeous views of Loch Linnhe and the dramatic Morvern mountains beyond.

Thankfully, you don’t need to join the jet set to give the gift of experiencing this private Highland island. Instead, you just have to snatch up this gift for an overnight B&B stay for two.

The Big Deal for an overnight stay at the stunning Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Island has two options.

Option one is for an overnight stay for two in a Standard twin or double room with a full Scottish breakfast.

Option two is for an overnight stay for two in a Deluxe twin or double room with a full Scottish breakfast.

There is a £50 supplement for Saturday night stays. Offer is available until the end of February 2020. Seasonal shut-outs apply.

 ‘Unique’ can often be an overused term, but Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Island truly fits this description. The clue is in the name – this hotel sits perched on its own peaceful island on Loch Creran, not far from Oban.

And, as this is no ordinary hotel, the facilities are far from ordinary too and include a marina, golf course and spa with swimming pool.

There are lovely period details too such as open fireplaces, an oak-panelled main hall, piano room, drawing room and Art Deco library serving whiskies, cocktails and wines.

Depending on which option you choose, your gift recipients will either be staying in a standard or deluxe room.

However, it is worth noting that there is nothing at all ‘standard’ about any of the rooms at the Isle of Eriska Hotel. So you can expect decor that tastefully blends the traditional and the modern, with facilities that include a fireplace, flat-screen TV with digital channels, mini bar, toiletries and free WiFi.

Michelin star

Breakfast is included in the offer but the hotel's restaurant - the recent recipient of a Michelin star - is certainly worth booking for other meals.

Menus offer the best of Scottish produce crafted with contemporary gourmet flourishes. Sample starters include the roast breast of Anjou pigeon with potato crisp, foie gras shavings and onion, and the salt baked beetroot, apple and beetroot meringue.

Mains might feature the slow-cooked breast of Goosnargh duck with broccoli, morels and peanut, and the pan-fried Gigha halibut with garganelli pasta, razor clams and fennel salad.

For dessert, see if you are tempted by the chocolate delice with pistachio, poached blackberries and candied pistachio, or the roast parsnip sponge with cinnamon granola, milk ice cream and hazelnut.

It’s also worth sampling the farmhouse cheese trolley, considered by many guests to be the surprise delight of the whole experience.

Set in 300-acres, there is plenty to experience on Eriska itself.

Visitors can spot some of the island’s rich wildlife, including Highland cattle, badgers, grey seals, otters and even the odd golden eagle soaring over the loch. Or take a stroll to the nearby peaceful village of Benderloch and return in time for the hotel’s afternoon tea.

Golf fans can make time to try out the nine-hole course, which (as you might expect) offers an impressively scenic backdrop.

If you want to make someone special feel very loved on Christmas morning then give them this romantic Highland getaway.

From £149 for an overnight B&B stay for 2 at Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa and Island.
