Each room is full of Victorian wealth, with drawing rooms filled with deep sofas, fireplaces and books in granite and red sandstone. There are three spa suites with outdoor hot tubs in private gardens and a main spa, set in the former stables, with expert therapists on hand to pamper you with an extensive range of treatments.

This modern hotel has everything you would expect from the brand; with the location, range of rooms and services, luxurious spa and well-regarded restaurant making it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a spot of luxury. The spa is the best in town, with a 19-metre infinity swimming pool, thermal suite with seven treatment areas, Espa treatments, gym, café and relaxing rooftop hydro-pool.

Portavadie is perched on the shores of a sea loch at the end of a single-track road on the Cowal peninsula, in what is known as ‘secret Argyll’. Only a couple of hours' drive from Glasgow, it is a tranquil hideaway amid hills and forests, with romantic views across Loch Fyne to the hills of Kintyre and the Isle of Arran. Its jewel is a £10 million spa and leisure complex with a 16-metre indoor pool, saunas, gymnasium, outdoor spa pools and Scotland's largest outdoor heated infinity pool. Panoramic windows guarantee saunas and relaxation suites with a view.
