The Popinjay Hotel & Spa

An early morning queue for the airport security check is never the best start to a short break.

Increasingly, we’re realising that a relaxing getaway doesn’t involve going far away.

Enjoy the tranquillity and the convenience of today’s Big Deal on a stay at The Popinjay Hotel & Spa in the heart of the Clyde Valley.

We could tell you that it is just off the M74, 25 minutes from Glasgow and under an hour from Edinburgh.

But we would rather describe it as nestled in the charming little country village of Rosebank and only a short stroll from the banks of the River Clyde.

Built in 1882, the hotel has a charming Tudor-style exterior and is enjoying a rolling refurbishment so that it can continue to welcome guests in style for the next hundred years.

Dinner allowance

Available seven days a week, this Big Deal is for a one night stay for two in a double or twin room with a full Scottish breakfast and £15 per person allocation to spend on the food only, from the restaurant menu.

Guests will also receive a box of chocolates in the room on arrival, entry to the hotel’s leisure club and a late check-out of noon.

There is free WiFi throughout the hotel and free guest car parking.

There is a £20 per room, per night supplement for Friday, Saturday & Sunday night stays, which is payable directly to the hotel. Note: this supplement is not included in the offer price.

The Dalserf Restaurant now offers all day dining from a new seasonal menu. Look forward to honest, wholesome and comforting food, prepared with care.

See and do

Lanarkshire is home to two world heritage sites, New Lanark and the Antonine Wall, plus many visitor attractions such as Chatelherault Country Park, Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life and the National Museum of Rural Life.

Another option would be to explore the Clyde Valley Tourist Route.

This 42 mile route makes its picturesque way to the upper reaches of the River Clyde and the World Heritage Site of New Lanark, a beautifully restored 18th century cotton mill village first built by the famous social reformer Robert Owen. 

Happy guests

The Popinjay has lots of positive comments on TripAdvisor. The friendliness of the staff is a recurring theme. These are excerpts from recent reviews:

‘Our rooms were as described and very clean and comfortable. Food throughout our stay was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful and we all really enjoyed staying here.’

‘Staff were brilliant. Food was good. Buffet breakfast was nice. Does need a little TLC but clean and tidy. Fab gardens. Plenty of parking.’

‘The spa has a lovely large pool, larger than your average spa hotel, with bubbling Jacuzzi & hot sauna. Everything you need to relax and get rid of the day’s stresses… excellent food and very friendly staff. Food may take a while to come, but it’s worth the wait…’

Clyde valley getaway

Valid until the end of September, this Big Deal would be perfect for a summer or early autumn getaway.

It would also make a great present for anyone who would like to explore the often overlooked Clyde Valley.
