Lodge on Loch Lomond Hotel

With its subtle flavours of rose and cucumber, Hendrick’s Gin is seen by many as the quintessential summer drink.

Would it ever work in the depths of winter?

Well, those crazy cats at the Lodge on Loch Lomond hotel seem to think so.

They mix up Hendrick’s with strawberry and blackberry liqueurs, lime juice and ginger beer to make a Flora Dorothy.

We are told that it goes best with afternoon tea and a chat while admiring a breath-taking view of Loch Lomond.

Drink it all in with today’s Big Deal on a Hendrick’s afternoon tea for two at the Lodge on Loch Lomond.

National Park

As the name suggests, the four star Lodge on Loch Lomond Hotel sits in the heart of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

It feels a very long way from the city but is just 30 minutes from Glasgow – ideal for a convenient day trip with a friend or family member.

Featuring panoramic views of the loch and Ben Lomond, Colquhoun’s Restaurant at the hotel has a brilliant reputation for delicious modern cuisine created using the freshest of local produce.

When the weather allows – fingers crossed – the Terrace provides a sun trap for dining and drinking al fresco.

Flora Dorothy

Available seven days a week, 2pm to 5pm, the Big Deal is for two people to have afternoon tea with a Flora Dorothy cocktail. Made with Hendrick’s gin, the cocktail is served in a Hendrick’s china tea set.

As well as tasty finger sandwiches, haggis bon bons, sausage rolls and cheddar croquettes, afternoon tea includes fruit scones with jam and cream.

You can also look forward to a selection of delicious cakes such as chocolate brownies, billionaire’s shortbread, lemon drizzle, mini meringues and Scottish berry tartlet.

Naturally, afternoon tea comes with a choice of hot drinks: Earl Grey, ginger, green, berry, English breakfast, camomile mint, or coffee.

Loch Lomond day out

The Lodge on Loch Lomond Hotel has a magical location on the banks of the loch and views to match.

We find the views from the hotel are best appreciated with a scone in one hand and a glass of something cold with a kick in the other.

Enjoy it all with a friend or treat a family member with today’s Big Deal on a Hendrick’s Gin afternoon tea for two.

This offer would be perfect as part of a day out.
