Winter is on the way which means that it will soon be time for cosy getaway breaks and seasonal sports such as skiing and tootsie-toasting in front of log fires.
Today’s Big Deal on a relaxing overnight dinner, bed and breakfast stay for two at the atmospheric Ballachulish Hotel is ideal for anyone keen to make the most of the colder months.
Winter sports
Dramatically located at the foot of Glencoe and on the shores of both Loch Linnhe and Loch Leven, the Ballachulish Hotel is perfectly placed for outdoor enthusiasts. The Glencoe Mountain Resort is not far away and, with seven ski lifts and nineteen pistes to choose from, the resort offers skiers plenty of action.
Romantic break
Whether it snows or not, the Ballachulish Hotel is the ideal spot for a romantic break; a walking holiday or just a chance to relax and breathe some clean, fresh air.
The hotel is equipped with mod cons such as WiFi but the comfortable bedrooms reflect the building’s Highland heritage in their traditional decor. What’s more, to make you feel right at home, a bottle of wine will be placed in your room awaiting your arrival.
Subject to availability, Big Deal voucher holders can enjoy a free upgrade to a room with a loch view.
Roaring log fires and the baronial architecture of the Ballachulish make it a welcoming spot to linger over a book and a dram. The more energetic might choose to use the pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and exercise room in the nearby Leisure Centre.
Guests are also welcome to one complimentary round of golf at the nine hole Dragon’s Tooth Golf Course next door to the hotel
Local produce
The Bulas Bar and Bistro has a stylish contemporary atmosphere and the kitchen prepares daily changing menus which make the most of seasonal, local produce.
Typical offerings might include the Lochaber Fisherman’s Pie; a wild mushroom stroganoff or Highland venison cooked with red wine and root vegetables.
Segway tour
As a special add-on to today’s Big Deal, customers can experience a ‘Glide the Glen’ Segway tour at the reduced price of £18.50 per person (normally £25). The Scottish Segway Centre is located right next door to The Ballachulish Hotel. If they wish, guests can join a 45 minute Eco tour with a professional guide. Suitable for most ages and great fun for all the family, the Segway tours offer a truly memorable Highland adventure.
Fantastic gift idea
Valid until the end of February, today’s Big Deal at the Ballachulish Hotel would make a great pre-Christmas getaway; a relaxing post-festive break or a welcome Christmas present.
