All rooms have private facilities, TV and tea / coffee making facilities. Features include a bar, restaurant and regular evening entertainment.
During Your stay we have included these great excursions:
- A visit to Edinburgh – the power capital of Scotland. Towering over the city is the dramatic silhouette of the Castle, with the lofty buildings of the Mediaeval ‘old town’ stretching down below it along the Royal Mile. To the north the new town’s elegant streets and crescents are lined with Georgian houses and classical buildings.
- A visit to Loch Lomond. We climb past Glen Coe, pass the Cobbler Mountain, descend to Loch Fyne and reach the white walled town of Inverary, with its castle, ancestral home to the Dukes of Argyll.
On 07 April, 02 June and 13 October we have also included this great excursion:
- A trip on the Falkirk Wheel. This is the world’s only rotating boat lift linking the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals. We take a journey on the Wheel to the union Canal, 115 feet above. It takes approximately 15 minutes allowing plenty of time to enjoy the stunning views. Once lifted the boat sails smoothly from the Wheel straight onto the Union Canal. This passes along the aquaduct, through Roughcastle Tunnel and then returns down, over the Visitor Centre. (Availability subject to opening times and days. If trip not available for any reason an alternative coach excursion will be provided)
On 05 May, 14 July & 01 September we have included this great excursion:
- A railway adventure with a train ride along the West Highland line from Tarbert to Fort William. The views are truly amazing and the journey is claimed to be one of the best in Scotland
Please Note: If any excursion is not available such as the railway ride or the Falkirk Wheel, for any reason, an alternative coach excursion will be provided. There will be no compensation payable.
