RAD Group

Afternoon tea tastes all the sweeter when wind and rain are beating against the window.

Outside is cold, bleak and daunting. Inside is cosy, warm and inviting. Especially when you are deciding which cake to eat next.

As the weather turns wintry, this Big Deal offers afternoon tea for two at your choice of five hotels belonging to the award-winning RAD Group.

Christmas present

Valid from early January to the end of March, this Big Deal from the RAD Group would make a sweet Christmas present.

You could gift it to a friend or use it as a promise to spoil a loved one.

Know any aunts or friends of the family who would love to be taken out for a drive with afternoon tea?

Pick your venue

It is a very straightforward offer.

Available Monday to Friday, with sittings at 2.00pm or 3.30pm only, the offer is for two people to have afternoon tea at one of the five RAD Group Hotels below.

We’re talking a selection of freshly prepared finger sandwiches, warm scones with cream and preserves, a variety of cakes and sweet delights.

You can book your afternoon tea at one of the following:

Lochside House Hotel and Spa

Set within 20 acres of land and overlooking The Loch of the Lowes, the four star Lochside House Hotel and Spa boasts magnificent views of the surrounding Ayrshire countryside.

Originally, a shooting lodge for the Marquis of Bute, the hotel combines a traditional Scottish welcome with 21st century amenities.

Conveniently, the hotel is less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow and under two hours from Edinburgh.

Dalmeny House Hotel

Formerly known as The Dalmeny Park Country House Hotel, this charming Barrhead hotel is the most recent addition to the RAD Group.

An impeccably restored Scottish mansion, the ivy-clad Dalmeny House Hotel nestles in several acres of magnificent gardens and grounds.

It is located on the southside of Glasgow in a quiet residential area, just a few miles from Glasgow city centre.

Afternoon tea will be served in the gorgeous Tudor Lounge Bar or the stunning Gallery Bistro.

The Carlton Hotel

Logans Restaurant is part of The Carlton Hotel on Ayr Road in Prestwick. The restaurant is cleverly divided into several spaces and offers intimate booth seating, window tables and smart, contemporary open fires – all illuminated by designer lighting.

You could use this offer as part of a great day out. Visit Culzean Castle or Burns’ cottage in the morning and then head to The Carlton Hotel for a sumptuous afternoon tea.

Hetland Hall Hotel

Hetland Hall Hotel is a graceful Georgian country house hotel in eighteen acres of tranquil, private parkland – the perfect place to escape the city.

Situated just outside Dumfries and fifteen minutes from Gretna Green, it has a gorgeous setting and even offers views of two countries for the price of one, with vistas extending over the Solway Firth to the Lakeland peaks.

The local region has many charms, from the grandeur of Caerlaverock Castle and a nearby Red Kite trail to the historic Burns trail in and around Dumfries. Ideal if you want to make a day of it.

Radstone Hotel

Enjoying its own extensive grounds in the picturesque Clyde Valley, Radstone Hotel is easy to get to but feels a long way from the city – perfect for an afternoon drive.

The Opal Bar Restaurant Lounge at the Radstone Hotel offers stylish surrounds and great views of the countryside.

Day out

With a choice of five different hotels, one on the outskirts of Glasgow and four spread throughout South West Scotland, this Big Deal on afternoon tea for two is very flexible.

It would be perfect for a catch-up with a friend. Or you could spoil someone by taking them out and making a day of it. As we mentioned, it would also make a special Christmas gift.

A little drive to enjoy the winter landscapes followed by afternoon tea and a chat. We’re in!
