Scotland is known for its dramatic landscapes, historical towns and cities and rich history that has made Scotland what it is today. Why not visit the Scottish Highlands? This vast location is home to the UK’s most impressive mountains, serene lakes and remarkable woodlands that have stood for centuries. The Highlands are home to the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, which stands at 1,345 metres tall – for anyone looking for a challenge, a climb up to the peak is a must. After a long day exploring or climbing, getting back to a luxurious hotel or lodge would be the perfect antidote.

There are also plenty of spa hotels and hot tub weekend breaks available which would certainly soothe the soul after a long day. For those looking for a city break in Scotland, there are a number of options to choose from. Edinburgh is the ideal location for a Scottish weekend getaway. The city is not only beautiful, but also brimming with activities and things to do, with plenty of food and drink options, too. Alternatively, head over to Glasgow, which has an abundance of museums and galleries to visit, as well as a thriving music scene.

A short break to Scotland would make the perfect gift for any occasion, whether it’s an anniversary surprise or birthday treat. Discover a fantastic selection of Scottish short breaks and weekend getaways from Red Letter Days.

Great Stay

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Greeted with a roaring wood fire making the wet weather tolerable. Check in was seamless and the bar and restaurant very welcoming. Food was superb and staff polite, cheerful and helpful. Big bonus being dog friendly, they were accepted everywhere except the restaurant which was understandable. No problem we ate in the bar and as all the other guests did too it made for a really warm and friendly atmosphere. First visit here and it will definitely not be our last.

Good venue Makeney Hotel excellent cast from Murder 57od of a high quality

The venue was good friendly staff,food was good ,the atmosphere was of a friendly but competitive. The cast held their own with the buzz of the crowd with the storyline being laid outand the clues giving an insight into a good whodunit. My wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly. RED letter should hold their heads up high

One night memorable break

With a range of locations and hotels to chose from, we opted for the Talbot Hotel in the lovely market town of Ledbury. The Talbot like many of the building in the town is a picturesque timber framed building bursting witj character. Our room was a good size and very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we stepped through the door. Would definitely recommend this for an overnight break.
