The majestic hotel, Cameron House, set on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, is the perfect place to call home as you enjoy a romantic winter break in the wild and rugged Highlands. Whether you spend your stay beside a roaring open fire in your tartan-adorned room, complete with four-poster bed; in the golf club's famous 19th hole, the Claret Jug, or in a heated rooftop infinity pool, you'll be totally enchanted by this 18th-century baronial mansion. When it comes to meal times, you'll be spoilt for choice with Cameron House's four restaurants. For fine dining, look no further than the Michelin-starred Martin Wishart's, where you can choose from the traditional dishes on offer that vary from season to season; or for a livelier atmosphere head to the Cameron Grill, complete with an open-plan kitchen, where you'll be encouraged to tuck into everything from 28-day dry-aged Buccleuch grass-fed sirloin steaks, to succulent Isle of Skye scallops.
While your other half takes himself off for a round on the 18-hole Championship golf course, you'll have the perfect opportunity to check in for an afternoon of total relaxation in The Carrick spa. Boasting 17 treatment rooms, we recommend hiding away and treating yourself to a Highland Detox, which begins with an Aromatic sugar body polish and a Warm organic pink clay mask which is applied all over before you're treated to an invigorating head and neck massage. Stay in the relaxation zone and head up to the rooftop infinity pool after your massage, where you'll be in your own silent paradise, to take in the breath-taking and totally unspoilt views across the ancient Loch.
