Marriott Dalmahoy Hotel

What’s the dictionary definition of a gentleman?

Someone who knows how to play the bagpipes but doesn’t.

Pipe up for today’s Big Deal on traditional afternoon tea or gentleman’s afternoon tea at Dalmahoy Marriott Hotel & Country Club.

Featuring a session on the driving range; day passes to the swish leisure centre and afternoon tea, this offer would be perfect for a day out with a friend.

It would also make a smart Valentine’s gift for the golf-lover in your life.

Hotel & golf resort

Set in a thousand acres of beautiful parkland, the Dalmahoy is a breathtaking hotel and golf resort located just outside of Edinburgh.

Dating to the early 18th century, the A-listed main building is a baronial manor and it retains many gorgeous period features.

Sitting alongside the original architecture are all the modern facilities expected of a 21st century hotel. Not least of these is the splendid Dalmahoy Leisure Club.

Fifty balls on range

Available seven days from 2pm to 5pm, today’s Big Deal is for two people to enjoy gentleman’s afternoon tea or traditional in the Douglas Lounge or Cocktail Bar at the Dalmahoy.

The offer also includes two day passes to the leisure club and fifty balls each on the driving range.

Pork pie

Designed for the more robust appetite of the gentleman, the gentleman’s afternoon tea is man-sized rather than dainty.

Guests can look forward to enjoying some delicious Dunlop cheese, pork pie, a sausage roll and freshly made bread and chutney.

The traditional afternoon tea includes a selection of tasty finger sandwiches, warm scones and the pastry chef’s cakes.

Specialist teas and coffees will be offered with both types of afternoon tea.

Steam room & sauna

The leisure club features an airy pool with views to the grounds, a whirlpool, sauna and steam room. A few laps of the pool followed by a recuperative steam could be just the ticket to sharpen the appetite for afternoon tea.

If you must, there is also a gym with a great range of cardiovascular equipment and free weights.

Happy visitors
