Road Hole Restaurant’s New Dining Concept

In my opinion, the view from the Road Hole Restaurant in the Old Course Hotel, St Andrews is as good as it gets.  The floor-to-ceiling windows allow diners to look out over the 17th and 18th holes of the Old Course – and on a summer’s night (when the sun is shining) it really is hard to beat.  The 3 AA Rosette Awarded Restaurant’s menu has recently gone through extensive changes and they are now focused on the very best seasonal Scottish produce.  I’d strongly recommend that guests at the hotel sample the delights at least once during their stay – make sure to request a window table!

Turnberry Resort

Travel and Leisure readers have voted the Turnberry Resort as the number one hotel in Scotland.  In the 10th annual listing the hotel appears, not only for the very first time, but as the Scottish leader amongst the 500 best hotels and resorts in the world.

The awards are based on the data collected from the World’s Best Awards survey by the magazine’s readership.

Last year, Travel and Leisure named Turnberry as one of Europe’s top 30 hotels, so this will be another accolade to add to the trophy shelf.

Sheraton Grand Refurbishment Complete

The Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh has just completed its multi-million pound bedroom refurbishment; every bedroom has been updated and next on their list is a new bar and restaurant.  These changes will be completed for the start of the season this year and, based on the high standards in the bedrooms, I’m sure the public areas and new bar and restaurant will be a great success!  Click here to view the video footage of the new bedrooms.
