Across Scotland, a growing number of hotels and experiences offer something a little different, ranging from snow cabins and scenic countryside retreats to memorable dining experiences.
Whether it’s stargazing from a loch-side hot tub at Knipoch House Hotel or enjoying rare vintages by the glass at Divino Enoteca, these destinations offer thoughtful ways to turn a simple thank you into a memorable day out.
For the mum who deserves some TLC:
Mum definitely deserves total relaxation this Mother’s Day, and the ‘Journey Together Spa Day’ at Old Course Hotel offers just that: a curated wellness escape designed to restore and renew. Guests can enjoy two hours’ access to luxury spa facilities, including a rejuvenating hydrotherapy experience, followed by a 50-minute hot and cold thermal experience in the new Snow and Sauna cabin.
The experience also includes a 50-minute massage for two in a double treatment room and a nourishing lunch in the Spa Café - the perfect way to wind down and spend some quality time together.
Priced at £370 for two people, book this experience by visiting: www.oldcoursehotel.co.uk
For the mum who loves a glass of vino (or two):
Enjoy a wine discovery at Divino, Edinburgh - perfect for mums who appreciate exceptional food and wine. Divino is home to Scotland’s only state-of-the-art Enomatic machine, allowing diners the chance to try rare vintages by the glass without having to commit to a full bottle.
The Eno Experience allows guests to sample a curated selection of self-serve wines at their own pace, paired with a delicious antipasto board. The candle-lit cellar has an inviting atmosphere that makes it the ideal choice for a relaxed and memorable Mother’s Day celebration.
