Dunkeld House Hotel

For those of you who think that afternoon tea is a piece and jam with a cup of Scottish Blend, get with the programme. The true mark of a civilised society is an elegant and abundant afternoon tea, preferably served in a refined historic setting.

Coincidentally that is exactly what today’s Big Deal serves up; a traditional and stylish afternoon tea with some very attractive extras, in the splendid setting of the Dunkeld House Hotel in Perthshire.

Historic country house

The great and the good (and the occasional rascal) have been taking afternoon tea at Dunkeld House for centuries. The setting is unrivalled, with the house nestling amidst a 280-acre estate of well-maintained and natural woodland, overlooking the salmon-fishing banks along the river Tay.

It’s long been a popular destination for outdoors enthusiasts and makes a luxurious location for an elegant and relaxed afternoon tea, with the country house leisure facilities at your disposal.

Available seven days, this offer is for two people to have afternoon tea at the Dunkeld House Hotel, with a 125ml glass of Prosecco each and all-day access to the leisure facilities.

The afternoon tea at Dunkeld House is a generous, traditional spread comprising dainty sandwiches, sweet treats, small savouries and an endless supply of piping hot tea.

Leisure facilities

Take advantage of the luxurious surroundings by paying a visit to the spa and leisure facilities at Dunkeld House, with scenic views over the Craigvinean Hills. Relax with a dip in the heated indoor pool, forget the winter chill in the sauna or steam room, and de-stress in the whirlpool spa.

For those feeling a little more energetic, the gym has the latest equipment, mats and screens to keep you motivated during your workout.

The health suite, pool and gym are open from 7am until 9.30pm on weekdays.
