A Scottish manor house can currently be booked for cheaper than half price. It has been described as "lovely" and "excellent" by previous visitors.
The Grange Manor Hotel is situated near Falkirk, between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Dating back to the late 19th century, it is a country house retreat encircled by well-kept gardens that preserves many original Victorian features.
At the moment, guests can book an overnight stay for two at the hotel for £89 through Wowcher —plus a £3.99 admin fee. A one-night break at the Grange Manor Hotel is usually priced at £215, resulting in a discount of 59 per cent.
All of the standard rooms at the hotel come with a seating area, hot drink-making facilities, a television, and an en-suite bathroom. Guests will also receive a glass of Prosecco each upon arrival.
Also included in the Wowcher deal is a free breakfast in the morning. Meanwhile, there is the option to upgrade to include a two-course dinner at the Grange Manor Hotel's restaurant.
The Cook's Bar and Restaurant offers a varied menu that includes dishes such as steak pie, breaded wholetail scampi, lasagne, and risotto. There are also 'Flavours of India' dishes designed in partnership with twice Michelin‐Star awarded Atul Kochhar, including lamb rogan josh and cauliflower makhani.
Meanwhile, guests can also enjoy afternoon and high teas in Rosie's Tearoom. These include freshly made sandwiches, homemade cakes, scones with strawberries, and a cup of tea or coffee.
There are other hotels to choose from in the surrounding area if the Grange Manor Hotel does not appeal. These include the luxury four-star Macdonald Inchyra Hotel and Spa and the Orchard Hotel with a bar and restaurant.
In terms of things to do, it is just a short walk from Grange Manor Hotel to the iconic Kelpies sculptures and Falkirk Wheel. The latter is the world's only rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal to the Union Canal 35 metres above.
Another nearby highlight is Beecraigs Country Park, which is comprised of 370 hectares of woodland walks and mountain bike trails. The country park is also home to a play area, a café, and more.
On travel website Tripadvisor, guests have mostly given the Grange Manor Hotel positive feedback. The accommodation has an overall rating of four out of five on the site based on 1,000 reviews.
One visitor shared: "Great stay, we had booked a luxury room, but on arrival was told there were none available, so we stayed in a garden room. No issues with this, great sized room.
"Breakfast was fabulous, the dogs even got a breakfast sausage. Hotel was super dog friendly, and all the staff were lovely to deal with."
On the other hand, a negative review reads: "Stayed in this hotel as my son was attending a competition on the Sunday. Room was dated, TV remote did not work but worst thing was the noise coming from the function room."
Meanwhile, a four-star review states: "Quaint manor, staff very helpful. We were suffering terrible with jet lag and staff were able to get our room ready a bit earlier, so grateful. Dinner was next door and highly recommended. Bed was comfortable, room was spacious."
