A magnificent gothic mansion steeped in history, Mar Hall Hotel & Aveda Spa lies in a 240-acre estate with superb period features, an extensive Aveda Spa with full leisure facilities, as well as boasting an 18-hole golf course, designed by Dave Thomas.

The former 19th century grandeur of this large, rambling house has been brought back to life with its feature fireplaces, beautifully restored ornate ceilings and antique furnishings. The Grand Hall is a superb setting for afternoon tea on a comfortable sofa surrounded by tapestries and views of the gardens through large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Settle into a room with views of the Kilpatrick Hills then wander through the grounds down to the banks of the River Clyde. Play a round of golf or spend some time shopping in Glasgow, just 20 minutes away. Return in time for dinner at the gourmet Cristal Restaurant.
