Macdonald Crutherland House

Unless hibernation is an option, the only way to weather the winter is by dotting it with cosy getaway breaks.

Pamper yourself this winter with an overnight getaway at the luxurious Macdonald Crutherland House hotel.

Valid until the end of March 2017, this offer is very flexible.

You could use it for a pre-Christmas break and re-charge your batteries for the holidays.

It would also come in handy as a way unwind after the festive period. We all love our in-laws but still…

Finally, this Big Deal would make a generous Christmas gift for someone who could use a little TLC.

Country house charm

Set in 37 acres of peaceful wood and parkland on the outskirts of East Kilbride, Macdonald Crutherland House was built in 1705 as a dower house for Lady Dowager of Torrance Castle.

Now a four star, country house hotel, Macdonald Crutherland House is a comfortable spot for a convenient getaway.

Large beds

Available seven days a week, this relaxing offer is for two people to enjoy a one night stay in a twin or double room.

Large beds, a hot drinks tray and luxury en-suites are standard in the rooms and free WiFi is available.

As well as a full Scottish breakfast and cream tea on arrival, the offer includes a three course dinner from the table d’hôte menu in the hotel’s very well regarded restaurant.

The Big Deal also includes full use of the hotel’s leisure facilities.

There is a £20 supplement for Saturday night stays.

2 AA Rosettes

Dinner in The Restaurant is a gastronomic treat. Hung with a collection of paintings from the old manor, The Restaurant has been awarded two AA Rosettes for its imaginative take on Scottish dishes.

The table d’hôte menu changes seasonally but typical choices might include a starter of honey-whipped goat’s cheese with compressed watermelon, green beans, hazelnuts followed by the braised belly of outdoor-reared pork with black pudding mash, apple purée, creamed Savoy cabbage and pancetta jus.

Another option might be the grilled fillet of Scottish salmon with pepperade, sautéed potato and wilted spinach.

Take it easy after your meal with a dram in the Cocktail Bar and Lounge.

Leisure facilities

The hotel’s Vital Health and Wellbeing Club is an elegant spot and full use of the leisure facilities is part of the deal.

The eighteen metre pool has glass walls which fill the room with light and allow you to gaze out onto the hotel’s carefully tended parkland. Robes and slippers are included in the offer.

Soak up the heat of the sauna; take a tranquil turn around the pool or simply relax poolside and enjoy the views.

While not included in the offer, guests are, of course, welcome to book in for spa treatments.
