Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort

On a fitness mission? A trip to Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort will keep you feeling motivated. Sleek and modern, the gym boasts treadmills, a cross trainer, bikes and a rowing machine to help you reach your goals, plus kettlebells and a weights machine so you never have to miss leg day.

If the gym’s not your style, why not enjoy a hike around the grounds or in the countryside beyond? You can take your pick of paths around the 360 acres, head to the hills or just stroll by the River Clyde. Staff will be glad to show you the best paths to take, whatever your fitnes level.. 

Get sporty at Gleddoch’s impressive 18-hole course, or try a fun round of footgolf. A great way to test your power and precision (and have reconnect with friends at the same time), Gleddoch’s custom-made footgolf course sees you kicking a ball into a hole in as few shots as possible.  

You’ve pampered yourself at the spa, now it’s time to indulge and at Gleddoch you won’t go hungry - or thirsty!

VISTA restaurant

Striking views may be a stand-out feature at VISTA, but the sublime dishes will distract you from the dramatic scenery. With a distinctly Scottish flavour, you’ll find the best locally sourced ingredients, such as mouth-watering Scottish beef, just-caught fish, vegetables hand-picked from the hotel kitchen garden and ingredients foraged by the chef’s own hands.

DRAM Whisky and Gin Bar

Pull up a squashy armchair beside the roaring fire, because this place is seriously cosy. Settle in for the night because with beautiful wood pannelling, the well-stocked bar has 80 whiskies and 50 gins to work your way through. Well you are in Scotland, it would be rude not to! Try the whisky or gin of the month, or sip an expertly-mixed cocktail.

The Camellia Lounge and Tea Salon

With tranquil garden views and an elegant feel, you’ll go to the Camellia Tea Salon hungry and leave feeling utterly spoilt. Enjoy afternoon tea with all the trimmings, thanks to chefs who hand-craft a unique menu that changes to reflect the seasons - who can resist an orange-scented pork sausage roll at Christmas time? 

The Nineteenth Bar

After a round of golf there’s nowhere better to relax than the Nineteenth Bar. Kick back in the informal setting, socialise over a game of play pool or just grab the paper and watch TV on the large screens. A daytime menu is available from 12pm, while the outdoor terrace is open in the warmer months, offering al fresco dining with views over the golf course.

It does and at an impressively-sized 17m in length, it’s big enough for some invigorating laps. Perfect your front crawl, then sit back on one of the heated loungers, or head to the outdoor hydro pool. Toasty, bubbly water with some panoramic Clyde views? Yes please!

Situated on high ground with sweeping views of the Clyde Estuary, it’s hard to believe you’re just 15 minutes from Glasgow airport and only a 20-minute drive from the buzzing city centre itself. 

You can leave your finest black tie and highland dress attire at home (unless you want to). Smart/casual is the order of the day here.

They’re all lovely. Most classic, executive and junior suites are found in the contemporary part of the hotel and are full of luxurious little touches like ELEMIS toiletries. 

But for something extra special try The Residence. Situated in the original main house of the hotel with its own reserved parking, each suite has unique features that make you feel like a real VIP. The Clyde Suite has its own hot tub, while Queen Elizabeth II always stayed in the Royal Suite when she was in Glasgow on ship-launching duties! 

Yes. There are two accessible bedrooms that can be entered via step-free access on the ground floor, plus free disabled on-site parking, paved walkways and ramps. 

Gleddoch was originally built in 1926 and retains some period features of the hotel which might make access more difficult for people with limited mobility. But staff are on hand to assist and will even transport you around the grounds on golf buggies if required.

Check-in is 3pm and check-out is 11am.

Here on a spa package that includes an overnight stay with breakfast or dinner? You need to book a time with the restaurant. You can do this when you check-in, but to ensure you get your preferred slot it’s a great idea to book in advance.

You can spend all day relaxing at the Imperia Spa, challenge your friends to a fun game of footgolf or play a hole for real on the immaculate championship golf course. 

But Gleddoch also makes the ideal base from which to explore Scotland's famous sites and historic attractions, with the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond and Dumbarton Castle making for fun day trips. 

You’re also just 10 miles from Glasgow city centre. Scotland’s biggest city buzzes with things to do, and all against a stunning backdrop of world-class architecture. You can catch some live local music, weave in and out of the shops, or plan your spa break to Scotland around one of Glasgow’s many festivals or events.

Remember your swimwear! You’ll need flip-flops to wear poolside, but if you forget you can always buy a pair from the Imperia Spa. The gym makes a great place to try out your chic new fit kit, and bring something smart/casual for afternoon tea, cocktails and dinner. 

And don’t forget your anorak and walking boots if you’re planning on going hiking in the countryside. With views so spectacular you won’t want to miss out.

Yes, children get a warm welcome at Gleddoch. There are dedicated children’s swimming times in the large indoor pool, children’s menus perfect for picky eaters and lots of entertainment lined up including den-making, kids’ golf, footgolf and even off-road driving.

Many rooms and suites have family-friendly options such as sofa beds and cots, or go for an interconnecting room so your teens can have their own space.

Dogs are welcome at Gleddoch, and with so much space to explore, they’ll have a great time. Many rooms and suites are pet-friendly, as well as some areas of the hotel (the non-food related ones). Make sure you mention you want to bring your four-legged companion when making your booking.
