Description

What’s Included

  • 18th century country house hotel
  • Ideal present idea
  • £25 per person dinner allowance
  • Available seven days
  • Scenic Borders setting

Looking forward to another Scottish winter in the city, where most days offer ample opportunity to use that evocative word ‘dreich’?

Us neither. Still, there is light on the horizon, in the form of a very welcome break in the Borders, surrounded by the sort of scenery that takes on a distinctive magic in the colder months.

Today’s Big Deal involves a relaxing and romantic stay in the Best Western Plus Philipburn House Hotel near Selkirk, the perfect place to escape the cares of the city and recharge the batteries.

With validity until the end of April, this offer could be a welcome gift possibility, offering a much-needed getaway in the start of 2017.

Winter break

The Best Western Plus Philipburn House Hotel extends traditional Scottish hospitality in an attractive setting within four acres of beautiful woodland grounds and gardens on the outskirts of Selkirk.

The building dates back to the 18th century, when it was the Dower House for the Philiphaugh Estate, and retains plenty of period character.

Available seven days, the Big Deal is for a two stay for two in a standard double or twin room, with full Scottish breakfast and £25 per person dinner allowance on the first night.

Guests choosing to dine on the second night will receive a complimentary bottle of house red or white wine to share.

Individually-styled ensuite guest rooms have views over the grounds and are all equipped with flat screen LCD TV with digital Freeview, tea and coffee making facilities, and free WiFi.

Borders dining

The Big Deal offers a £25 per person dinner allowance, which is served in the cosy, traditional décor restaurant. The menu uses the best local produce in a selection that encompasses family favourites, traditional and classic dishes.

Starters include:

Chicken, brandy and roasted pepper pate served with a fruit compote and crusty bread

Mushrooms and chorizo sausage in a garlic cream sauce, served with garlic herb bread

Haggis and swede filo parcel served with a beetroot compote and plum juice with ginger and cider vinegar

Baked goat’s cheese tart with apple and caramelised onion set on rocket salad with baby plum tomatoes

Salmon fishcake set on shaved fennel served with a lime and caper dressing

Main course selections include:

Steak, ale and mushroom pie served with creamed, boiled or chipped potatoes and seasonal vegetables

Chicken tikka masala or Quorn tikka masala served with Basmati rice and naan bread

Asparagus and leek risotto with Parmesan cheese topped with a poached egg

Vegetable and Brie cannelloni served with a Provençale sauce garnished with garlic bread

Salmon steak with red pesto crème fraiche topping set on a courgette, green pepper and green bean medley, served with a side of creamed, boiled or chipped potatoes

Dessert options include:

Orange and Cointreau crème brulee served with homemade shortbread

Sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce

Blueberry and lime cheesecake served with cream, seasonal fruits and coulis

Warm apple and cinnamon pie served with pouring cream and vanilla ice cream

Out & about

Given the Borders setting, this might be the perfect time to carry out that promise to read some Walter Scott. Or not. Rival attractions include some of Scotland’s best fishing facilities, hiking and horse-riding trails, the thrills and spills of National Hunt racing at Kelso, and some very attractive golf courses.

Cycling is a great way to explore the attractive market towns and rural splendour of the region. The hotel has a secure cycle store if you fancy bringing a bike and taking on the local Four Abbeys route or Tweed Valley path.
