Marine Hotel

If you want to give a Valentine’s gift which is really sure to satisfy then book in for today’s Big Deal on a romantic stay at The Marine Hotel in Troon.

Ayrshire coast

Handily located at just 30 miles from Glasgow, The Marine Hotel has long been one of the gems of the Ayrshire coast. It’s particularly popular with golfers who love the fact that it overlooks the 18th hole of the Royal Troon course.

It is also ideally situated for romantic beach walks – preferably followed by cosy drinks in the hotel’s Arran Bar.

Romantic stay
