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.

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

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.
