Buchanan Arms Hotel & Leisure

Don’t believe the hype about spring and summer – Loch Lomond and The Trossachs have so much to offer all year around.

In autumn, you can spot stags darting through Highland foliage, coast down a leaf-strewn cycle track or stroll along a lochside beach in mellow light.

In winter, the landscape turns into a frosty, conifer-dotted wonderland of red squirrels, geese, eagles, ospreys and even the odd darting dolphin. It is also the perfect chance to sip a warming whisky in a distillery, cosy with a book in front of an open fire or even try out a winter sport.

And where better to enjoy all of this than from the base of a lovely country house spa hotel in a Loch Lomond and Trossachs conservation village?

Ideally, with dinner, breakfast and a bottle of Prosecco on arrival included, all of which can be enjoyed with today’s Big Deal from the Buchanan Arms Hotel & Leisure in Drymen.

Country house hotel stay

Available seven nights a week, this Big Deal is for two people to enjoy an overnight stay in a classic double or twin room with a bottle of Prosecco on arrival, a cooked Scottish breakfast, full use of the leisure facilities and a two course dinner for each guest.

All the rooms are ensuite and individually decorated. Classic rooms are equipped with a hairdryer, hospitality tray and satellite TV. There is free WiFi throughout the hotel.

This country house escape is on the famous West Highland Way walkers’ route in Drymen. Other facilities include the Relax leisure club with swimming pool, Salmon Leap restaurant, lounge bar and even a conservatory with an open fire.

Conveniently close to Glasgow but far enough away to offer peace and tranquillity, this is the ideal spot for an autumn treat, winter chill out session or post-Christmas getaway.

This deal is available from 1st October to 29th December.

Fresh and local

A full cooked Scottish breakfast and a two course dinner from the seasonal table d’hôte menu in the Salmon Leap Restaurant are included in the deal.

Local produce, freshly prepared to order is the central theme of the menu. The chefs produce dishes which are simple but stylish and feature many tried and tested, traditional Scottish favourites.

With a wide selection of single malts, the welcoming snug bar, lounge and conservatory – did we mention the open fire? – are all ideal for a drink before or after dinner.

Spa and leisure club

Guests also have full access to the Relax Health and Fitness Club at the Buchanan Arms.

This state of the art club features a 14m indoor heated pool, spa bath, sauna, steam room, squash court and aerobics studio. There is also a fully equipped gymnasium.

Happy guests

Here is a recent glowing guest review of Buchanan Arms Hotel & Leisure on TripAdvisor:

‘We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Scottish country house hotel. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast catered to all and included a wide range of cereals, fruit selection and hot food. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. This hotel is a great base to discover Loch Lomond. A car is necessary. Lots of walking trails close by. Drymen itself is a quaint Scottish village with a good choice of restaurants. The hotel restaurant is great too.’

Plan a spa escape for autumn or winter

The best thing about a Highland spa break is that, no matter what the weather is like, you can bliss out in the pool, sauna and Jacuzzi. Yet if you are in more of an exploring mood, there will be plenty to see and do in Drymen village, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.

With today’s Big Deal, you and your special person can enjoy all of this on a cosy overnight stay at the Buchanan Arms Hotel & Leisure.

With a lovely chilled bottle of Prosecco on arrival, full cooked Scottish breakfast and two course meal included, this has everything you need for a romantic getaway.
