With the temperature dropping and December just around the corner, it is safe to say we are rapidly approaching the winter season.
When the weather is cold outside, and there are festive decorations as far as the eye can see, there is nothing better than a cosy staycation — especially in Scotland.
The holidays can be a very expensive time of the year. Luckily, there are plenty of hotels and inns that can be booked for a bargain price if you know where to look.
One of these is The Highlander Hotel in the Highlands village of Newtonmore, where an overnight stay for two can currently be booked for £59 — 58 per cent off the standard price of £139 — through voucher website Wowcher.
Offering sanctuary for anyone looking to explore the north of Scotland this winter, the hotel is ideal for those wanting to get out and enjoy some spectacular frosty walks. It is also the perfect cosy retreat to come back to after a long day hiking around the nearby Cairngorm National Park.
The rooms at The Highlander Hotel come fully furnished with Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. Also included in the Wowcher deal is a full Scottish breakfast and a late 1pm checkout.
Looking at travel website Tripadvisor, The Highlander Hotel is popular amongst guests, with an average rating of four out of five based on 959 reviews. The hotel has even received a TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice Award.
