Mar Hall Golf & Spa Resort

Work out, stretch out and chill out, because Mar Hall has first-class facilities designed to help you reach your goals.

First stop, the well-equipped gym which is packed full of the very latest equipment. Use the weights to tone or hit the cardio machines to work up a sweat - there’s always the 20m pool to cool off in afterwards.

If the gym’s not your style, why not enjoy a hike around the grounds or in the countryside beyond? As you might expect from a retreat that’s surrounded by 240 acres of glorious woodland, you can savour some unforgettable walks here, accompanied by views that may well take your breath away. 

There are some great jogging trails in and around the wooded estate, plus river walks to enjoy, so ask the hotel for a map. Or get sporty and sociable at Mar Hall’s impressive 18-hole course. It provides an interesting challenge for all skill levels and you’ll definitely burn some calories retrieving your ball from the bunkers.

If all that unwinding has worked up an appetite, you’re in for a treat at Mar Hall. There are two options here to add the sparkle to your sumptuous spa staycation.

Spike Bar 

Your glamorous night begins with an aperitif at the mahogany-lined Spike Bar. Choose something from the dangerously-good cocktail list, or settle in for the night under the chandeliers with one of the exceptional single malts. If you like, you can even have something informal to nibble on, like fish and chips or a club sandwich ordered from the bar menu.

Cristal

Love to get dressed for dinner? You’ll feel right at home in the Cristal restaurant.. More than just a fine dining experience, the wonderfully ornate room lets you live out all your Downton Abbey fantasies as you sample Scottish seasonal produce under the sparkling chandeliers that adorn its ornate vaulted ceilings. 

Cristal looks out over Mar Hall’s 18-hole championship golf course and has 20-foot windows draped with luxury fabrics. Art by Archie Forrest makes a great talking point over dinner - and chances are you’ll feel like you’re lord and lady of the manor enjoying a glittering gathering.

It does and it’s really impressive. Forget poky pools you can’t really swim in, because this 20m azure lagoon is spacious enough to perfect your breaststroke. Large, indoor and heated, there’s a sauna and steam room to relax in after your laps.

Leisure is very much the order of the day here. You can wander, power walk or even jog round the grounds, go for a hole in one at the 18 hole-championship golf course or hit the gym for a workout. 

There’s a 20m swimming pool perfect for laps, and a steam room and sauna to relax tired muscles afterwards. The zen-like Decleor Spa offers a wide range of treatments from facials to body treatments, while in the evening you can work your way through the cocktail menu at the mahogany-lined Spike Bar, then enjoy sparkling fine-dining in the Cristal Restaurant.

Absolutely! You can easily extend your spa day into a spa break because Mar Hall boasts 53 comfortable rooms and prestigious suites to retire to after a day packed full of spa treatments. Rooms are spacious and equipped with elegant furnishings and modern amenities, while fluffy bathrobes and Egyptian cotton linen add to your luxurious experience. 

Check-in time is at 4pm, and check-out time is at 11am. Spa time arrivals vary with your package. For full days or morning spa breaks, arrival time is usually 10am but do check your booking confirmation.

You’ll find the resort hotel on the banks of the River Clyde, in the historic 240-acre estate of the Earls of Mar. With an enchantingly remote setting you’ll enjoy so much peace and tranquility you might just forget you’re only 10 minutes from Glasgow Airport and less than half an hour from the buzzing Scottish city. 

It is. There is reserved disabled parking, adapted bedrooms and access throughout with ramps and lifts.

Children under 16 can’t have treatments or enter the adults-only spa, but little ones can have a splash in the pool. And they’ll get a good night’s sleep afterwards, too. Cots, highchairs and rollaway beds are available on request, plus some of the Mar Hall’s Deluxe Rooms have comfy sofa beds. 

There are children’s menus for fussy eaters, or you can all eat in the room, before cosying up together in your huge bed to watch a film or TV show on a flat-screen TV. 

It is, but they’ll need to save up their paw-cket money! The hotel welcomes four-legged friends and has luxury dog-friendly rooms, but it costs a non-refundable £50 supplement, per room per night. 

Once here, they’re not allowed in the restaurant, bar, or Grand Hall. But chances are your waggy-tailed wonders won’t want to be inside - not with 240 acres of countryside, historic woodlands and riverside walkways to explore. 

Yes it does. The prestigious Earl of Mar Scottish championship golf course sweeps through the Scottish countryside, with 250-year-old chestnut and beech trees adding history and challenge. 

Perfect for those who love to combine relaxing spa breaks with a round of golf, Mar Hall’s championship golf course has 18 holes. Kept in top condition, and with generously proportioned fairways, the par-70 course has stunning views of the River Clyde and Old Kilpatrick Hills.
