gixer1 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Perfect, Go online and check out these places - Piperdam golf and leisure resort - nice cabins with hot tubs and health spa, swimming, golf etc- .http://www.piperdam.com/ Loch Tay - http://www.lochtay-vacations.co.uk/ For hotels try ballater, breamar or Banchory, all nice locations with beautiful scenery and a good base for exploring the surrounding areas. Perth is also beautiful - loch rannoch hotel - http://www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk/our-hotels/macdonald-loch-rannoch-hotel/ And finally fort William - go along the Caledonian canal route all the way up to Inverness and look round Loch Ness. Hope this helps my friend. Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Another good suggestion but a long drive, the cuillin hills hotel is nice. Think it was 400 miles from preston area. If i every come into money i would like to buy the isle of skye and remove the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
