The Gleneagles Hotel
Perks for the Parents
This is the perfect country escape for families who love the outdoors, with a whole lot of luxury to go along with it. As well as its famous golf courses, you can try your hand at an endless selection of country sports and activities, including shooting, climbing, falconry, fishing, off-roading and more. The 5-start hotel also boasts an on-site gym and spa, so you can relax after your days out on the grounds.
Why Kids Love it
Kids of all ages will love this adventurous spot, with many activities open to families, including tree climbing, zip wires, horse riding, cycling and tennis. There are also 2 kids clubs (for 3-7 and 8-12) with magical outdoor escapades to enjoy during the holidays. Cribs or extra beds can be added to Family Rooms or Interconnecting Rooms, to set up the most comfortable space for your group.
Things to Know
There are 10 restaurants and bars on site, some of which are formal, so check which suits your family before making your reservations. The Dormy is ideal for kids, with a dedicated children's menu offering homemade pizzas, customisable pasta, or baby food. Most activities will need to be booked in advance, especially for children during the school holidays. Car rental or private taxis are essential.
