Excellent place, the menu is outstanding. We only went for an overnight stop and ended up staying nearly a week so we could 'do' the menu properly

It's a bit far, but I have eaten in it when we went last year on the bike, there fish and chips was brilliant.

Cheers for the pointers folks, I see what available, I'm leaving it a bit late.

Been to Ireland a few times, love the place. we're just up against a time frame. What with finishing work on the Friday and getting the kids to the grandparents, so we tried to keep it local.

Maybe not the high end of posh Roddy, but why not consider the Bridge of Cally Hotel? A popular Tossers spot. Prices are spot on. The rooms are clean and very comfy, grub is excellent and the bar is well stocked and has a roaring fire on.

It does look very nice, hard to imagine at some pint that was somebody's home ?

Looks nice and cozy, I like that, we've provisionally booked a room at the George in Inverrary, but it might fall through if it does, I might just give the Bridge of Cally a wee call.

Thanks for the pointers folks, there's a few ideas for the future, though I best get saving for some of them

Isle of Eriska hotel, on its own Island near Connel.

It's been ten years since I stayed there, but it was nice then and probably even better now. It's not cheap though, these things never are.

some mair suggestions

ardanasieg hotel near Oban on Loch Awe side

kilberry inn on Kintyre

portsonachan hotelsouth loch awe side

taychreggan hotel also loch awe

airds hotel Appin

manor house Oban

the lodge Loch Goil

auchrannie spa hotel Arran (usually do good winter deals too!)

All have VG reputations

And agreeing with others - Isle of Eriska - still has a good reputation and Falls of Lora - v tactfully put by saying they have normal and special rooms, lol

Three possibilities. Not posh but comfortable and good food.

Get her on the back of the bike Roddy and head for The Floddigarry Hotel in Skye ,food good location second to none ,and well out the road of the Waternish riff raff

Airth Castle, near Kincardine Bridge is excellent. Get a room in the Castle, food is excellent, pool area and Steam Room are really nice. They do some deals which include evening meal. Can thouroughly recommend it!

We got a deal through either lete Rooms or Hotell conexions for DBB for £105!!

Monachyle Mhor in the Trossachs - superb - 4 miles up a single track road from Balquhidder, on Loch Voil. Comfortable rooms, friendly people and the best food I have had in Scotland. Very romantic .

Web site here worth a look

I'm hoping to get away on the bike, but it wouldn't be the first time we've been snowed in somewhere at the end of Feb. We did a wee camping trip to Skye last year and it was a bit much for the good lady to do that length of trip in one go.

since we normally go away in Feb cause both our birthdays are in the same month and Oct for our anniversary, so we'll work our way through them


there's alot of good sugestions in this wee thread, I'm going to keep it open for reference and so it can be added too also I'll never remember them all ,

Take a look at

www.dalhousiecastle.co.uk

(sorry I've got no idea how to make it a direct link - luddite). I took my beloved there to propose and we ended up going back there to get married last year. Not the cheapest of places but they do have some special offers on. Can recommend their 'romantic break' very,very highly.

Located in own grounds, only about 10 miles south of Edinburgh, but feels a milllion miles from anywhere.

Surely she's worth it for a special occasion.

Just learnt the link converts itself when I post a reply, damn clever, this site.

Agreed. Might be an idea to add the links to the Discover Scotland sticky (the ones not already featured). Garfield could maybe see to that
