Kirkhouse Inn

First built in 1601, Strathblane’s Kirkhouse Inn has been used as everything from a stable to a schoolhouse.

Its owners reckon that over the years, the building has been the home of hidden fortunes, buried secrets and even scandals.

With today’s Big Deal on an overnight getaway for two, guests can look forward to comfortable rooms, great food and a warm welcome.

If you want scandal then you will have to bring your own.

Christmas gift idea

Noted for its food, friendly service and warm hospitality, the Kirkhouse Inn is just half an hour from Glasgow and Stirling and the perfect choice for visitors to central Scotland.

This offer is valid until the end of April 2016. You could use it as a stress-busting, pre-Christmas getaway.

It would also make a fabulous Christmas gift. The promise of a convenient overnight break would make someone special smile on Christmas morning.

Ensuite rooms

Available seven days a week, the offer is for two people to enjoy a one night stay in a double or king-size ensuite room at the Kirkhouse Inn. The offer includes a full Scottish breakfast plus a three course dinner from the set menu.

To help make your stay as convenient as possible, there is free parking on site.

There is a £15 per room per night supplement for Friday and Saturday night stays.

Upgrades are also available at a cost of £30 per room.

Dinner allocation

As well as a full Scottish breakfast in the morning, guests will enjoy a three course evening meal from the set menu in the hotel’s Thrisstle restaurant or bar.

The menus change regularly but typical starters might be the chicken liver pate with red onion compote & oatcakes or grilled goats cheese with sunblush tomato salad.

Popular main courses include breast of chicken with haggis in a Glengoyne whisky sauce with vegetables & potatoes or Cajun spiced salmon, dauphinoise potatoes and fresh spinach.

See & do Strathblane

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Parks are within easy striking distance of the Kirkhouse Inn. Mountain biking, horse riding, golf and even falconry are also available within the local area.

The local Glengoyne distillery is a popular visitor attraction and the Kirkhouse is conveniently located for those walking all or part of both the West Highland Way and the John Muir Way.

Happy guests

The Kirkhouse Inn has plenty of fans on TripAdvisor. This is what a recent guest had to say:

‘A wonderful mini-break. We visited the Kirkhouse Inn to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The hotel was beautiful with lovely fixtures and fittings. Our room was spacious with a fresh, clean ensuite bathroom. The food was excellent as was the service and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay within a short distance of Glasgow. We wished we could have stayed longer… We hope to return…’

Whether you fancy a pre-Christmas break or simply want to have a post-festive getaway to look forward to, today’s Big Deal with the Kirkhouse Inn is ideal.

As we mentioned, it would also make a fantastic Christmas gift idea.
