Scotland has a huge range of romantic hotels perfect for weddings - from intimate affairs to huge celebrations with hundreds of guests.
With the Scottish Wedding Show taking place at Glasgow’s SEC later this month (October 19-20), featuring 200 of the UK’s leading wedding suppliers, we thought we’d take a look at the best the country has to offer.
So, according to reviews on travel site www.tripadvisor.com, here are the ten that should be on your wishlist.
5. Trigony House Hotel and Garden Spa
Completing the top five is former shooting lodge the Trigony House Hotel and Garden Spa. Set in over 4 acres of secluded gardens and mature woodland in Dumfries & Galloway, it is dog-friendly (so nobody has to miss the wedding) and offers a range of spa treatments, including a Swedish wood fired hot tub and sauna cabin. desertrose330 said: "Everything was fabulous from the moment we arrived. Lovely welcome. Attentive but not intrusive service. Room beautifully furnished. Lovely views and gardens with red squirrels if you are lucky enough to see them. Plus home made gluten free bread that was out of this world. Thanks to the staff for a wonderful weekend celebrating my nieces wedding. A memory to treasure." | www.booking.com
6. Auchrannie Resort
According to online reviews, the Auchrannie Resort, a 20 minute walk from the Brodick Ferry Terminal on the isle of Arran, is the top sport for a Scottish island wedding. It features three award-winning restaurants, two indoor swimming pools, a sauna, steam room and a large soft play area. Connector said: "We stayed at the Auchrannie resort for a family wedding and were delighted with the hotel, facilities which catered for everyone and with how we were greeted and treated by all members of staff we came into contact with. Beautiful hotel and surrounding gardens." | www.booking.com
7. Achray House
Set in a stunning location on the banks of Loch Earn in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Achray House is the very deginition of a fairytale wedding venue. Highly rated for its 2AA Rosette restaurant, the focus is on seasonal ingredients, freshly prepared and using the best ingredients sourced as locally as possible. Julie M said: "We had our wedding ceremony at the lochside in front of the hotel which was spectacular. We then opted for a six course taster menu the chef had put together for us to suit our party and words cannot describe how wonderful it was. It would be fair to say everyone was blown away by the food." | www.booking.com
8. Kilcamb Lodge Hotel
Situated by Loch Sunart, in the heart of the Scottish Highlands 20 miles from Ben Nevis, Kilcamb Lodge Hotel won the 2010 Scottish Hotel Award for the most Romantic Hotel of The Year - so is a perfect fit for wedding. A small country house hotel set in 22 acres of woodland, it dates back to the 1700s and has cosy log fires and a candle-lit dining room. Kirby1953 said: "We got married at Kilcamb. I can only award five stars but if I could it would be 20. Pavlina, Helen and the team gave us a most wonderful wedding experience - every aspect was outstandingly well organised, the food was out of this world and the service exceeded everyone's expectations." | www.booking.com
