Accommodation

Sandman Glasgow
This brand new hotel, found between Glasgow’s West End and the city centre, places you perfectly to explore the city’s cultural highlights and foodie gems. The hotel itself is a cosy, modern four-star establishment that also houses Chop Grill & Bar, where local Scottish ingredients are the focus from breakfast to dinner and into cocktail hour – award winning Donald Russell steaks and Haggis bon-bons await.

Knipoch House Hotel, Scottish Highlands (or similar)
This west coast Highlands hotel is brimming with country charm, from the warm interiors of its restaurant and bar to the luxurious king-size bedding in your room. The house overlooks Loch Feochan, with sweeping views of nearby mountains and islands, which you can enjoy as you tuck into your locally sourced full Scottish breakfast, or perhaps over a glass of something stronger in the evening – the selection of wine, gin and, of course, whisky here is sensational.

Plockton Inn, Plockton
This characterful family-run pub with rooms on the edge of Loch Carron epitomises Scottish hospitality. Rooms are simple but homely, with a nautical theme to the decor. Downstairs, the pub bar hums softly with local chit-chat, while the kitchen serves up fresh, locally-caught seafood.

Craigmonie Hotel, Inverness
It’s hard to believe that you’re just minutes away from central Inverness when you’re in the quaint leafy surrounds of this storied old hotel, which dates back to 1880. Think country house vibes in the city, with a cosy bar to keep the cockles warm, and a free-to-use indoor pool and sauna, for that refreshing start to the day.

BW Kings Manor Hotel, Edinburgh
Our home in the capital will be a laid-back spot on the eastern suburbs of Edinburgh, near the golden sands of Portobello Beach. The building was once a convent, but now stands as a relaxing place to stay on the edge of the city. You’re just 20 minutes from Edinburgh Castle, but you also have an indoor pool and sauna to keep you invigorated, as well as a variety of spa treatments bookable at reception.


Please note that, while unlikely, the accommodation indicated may be subject to change (see T&C’s). On a rare occasion, alternative arrangements may be necessary – this may be due to a lack of availability at our preferred accommodation, or other reasons outside our control. We’ll do everything we can to prevent this from happening; however, in cases where it is unavoidable, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.
