As the winter nights draw in there are few more romantic settings than a lochside hotel with a backdrop of picturesque Highland scenery, far from the maddening crowds.

This Big Deal offers the opportunity to escape to Macdonalds Loch Rannoch Hotel, set in glorious Perthshire surroundings.

A two-night break gives you the chance to relax in style, soak in the splendour of the scenery and enjoy the resort’s extensive facilities.

Majestic location

The Loch Rannoch Hotel and Resort enjoys an idyllic setting on the north shore of the loch, surrounded by hills, with views to Schiehallion. It’s the perfect base for exploring nearby castles, distilleries and walking trails.

Available Tuesday to Saturday in November and December, this offer is for two people to enjoy a two night stay in a classic twin or double ensuite room.

The offer includes a full Scottish breakfast, a welcoming glass of Prosecco on arrival and full use of the hotel’s leisure facilities, including a sauna.

There is a £20 per room per night supplement for Friday and Saturday night stays, payable directly to the hotel.

For guests wanting to make the most of the views, there is also the option to upgrade to a loch view executive room for an additional £20 per night.

The deal includes breakfast. Guests might also be tempted by the fine contemporary and classic Scottish cuisine served in the Ptarmigan restaurant, with its eye-catching views.

The emphasis is on local produce in a menu that typically includes dishes such as West Coast scallops, seared Shetland salmon and wild mushroom risotto.

The lochside terrace of the welcoming Malt Bar is the perfect location to enjoy a nightcap dram.
