Spa at Gleneagles Wins Award

August 30, 2010July 28, 2010 PerryGolf Staff

A question that we are often asked when putting together trips for our clients is ‘what spa facilities does the resort offer?’

Gleneagles has one of the best spas in the UK, and to prove it they have recently been awarded two accolades by Zest Magazine.

The Spa uses ESPA products and this award-winning temple of relaxation is the perfect place to have a golfer’s massage or a facial treatment after a round of golf.

Staying in Cape Town

July 20, 2010July 2, 2010 PerryGolf Staff

Cape Town is an interesting and vibrant city; with Table Mountain framing the city and white beaches surrounding it, it really is unique.

I’d definitely recommend a wine tour during your stay which would mean journeying to the Boland Mountains and Cape Wine Country. With such great wines on offer in South Africa, it would be a definite shame not to experience a tour during your stay.

Steenberg Hotel is accommodation PerryGolf recommend during your stay in Cape Town as it offers a challenging 18-hole golf course and award winning spa. The hotel is located in the Constantia wine region found just outside the city. It is quite a small hotel, with only 21 rooms and 3 Suites which are located within the authentic Manor House (which dates back to 1682). During your stay you are really made to feel welcome…it is a very relaxing experience and definitely first class.

New Chef at the Barceló Troon Marine Hotel

July 8, 2010June 14, 2010 PerryGolf Staff

The Barceló Troon Marine Hotel has appointed Robert MacGillvray as their new head chef in its Fairways Restaurant. It’s the first time in 42 years they’ve had to appoint someone to the position, so it’s bound to add an exciting and new aspect to the hotel’s restaurant. Kevin has been in the industry for 30 years and has a wealth of experience; having worked in some of Scotland’s best kitchens (including Lochgreen House and Ballathie House). He focuses on traditional Scottish flavours with a modern twist and has twice been voted Scottish Chef of the Year (2000 & 2002), as well as being the President of the ‘Federation of Chefs Scotland’…so it’s a move which can only be a good thing for the hotel.

The restaurant itself is in a spectacular location within the hotel; overlooking Royal Troon Golf Club, with great views over to the Isle of Arran; it’s the perfect place to enjoy the sunset and a fantastic evening meal after a day on one of the area’s great links courses. If you’d like to make a reservation in advance of your trip to Scotland, please don’t hesitate to contact your Golf Travel Specialist, who will be happy to do so.
