Decent hotels

[alex020869]

I'm looking to go on a weekday break in April to a nice affordable hotel for a couple of days, but there are a million of them to choose from. Not looking for Gleneagles or anything that costly
So i thought i would cheat a wee bit and ask for any recomendations on here. Looking for anywhere around an hour or so from Edinburgh.

Thanks in advance.

Stayed here a few years ago, beautiful on the shores of Loch Lomond.

£350 a night!
I thought the guy was looking for something cheaper than Gleneagles, not more expensive.

The Old Course Hotel at St Andrews well worth a look - we stayed end Jan and had a great time. Close enough to Ednburgh but far enough to feel like a good night away. Lovely spa facilities too.

Stayed in the new Malmaison in Dundee last week, very nice - even though it happens to be in Dundee

Sticking with 'affordable' We stayed here two weeks ago...

Bit closer to Edinburgh and two mins from St Andrews

They always have deals via groupon or itison.

Stayed there in October last year - probably going back in May. 5 mins from Oban and some fne seafood at the harbour kiosk - checkout the reviews on TripAdvisor

I didn't and don't know how much Gleneagles costs.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

I'm sifting through them all now.

Cameron House on Loch Lomond worth a look as is Crieff Hydro if you want to do a bit while you're away.

Norton House Hotel and Spa near the airport is good!

You'd do well getting Gleneagles for £350.

Another vote for the Old Course at St Andrews, but then I'm biased as I got married there

Walking distance to nice pubs and restaurants and the town.

2 already mentioned the oyster inn and norton house are 2 of my favs.

This...my fiancee and I stayed here recently and loved it.

You'll struggle to find a hotel with nicer views than here http://www.hollytreehotel.co.uk/

Top quality food also.

It's a little more than an hour from Edinburgh though.

Agreed, I meant to include this in my post above. I've stayed here about four times and it's always been excellent.

I've stayed at the Holly Tree as well - good food and quite a special location/setup

I'm also told that this one is quite good - a bit ££ but worth it

I would stay clear of Crieff Hydro, the lodges in the grounds are very good but the standard of catering in the hotel leaves a lot to be desired.

A bit further away but really excellent is The Coul House Hotel near Strathpeffer

Or further away but worth the drive is The Ceilidh Place in Ullapool.
