Hotel Review
This 19th-century Gothic mansion on a 400-acre estate offers a very attractive alternative to staying in the city. The country-house feel and magnificent views over gardens to the River Clyde and the Kilpatrick Hills make it hard to believe that central Glasgow is only 20 minutes away. The handsome, deeply comfortable bedrooms all enjoy the views. There’s also an excellent dining room, courteous staff and a seductive Aveda spa.

Mar Hall Hotel & Spa
"A classy out-of-town option, a 19th century neo-Gothic baronial mansion designed by Sir Robert Smirke, architect of the British Museum, transformed into a five-star resort in 2004 after a £15-million renovation. Excellent spa with pool and full range of treatments, and an 18-hole golf course."
