Ingliston Country Club

Set in rolling grounds that take in a riding academy and livery with indoor and outdoor riding arenas, the 30 contemporary rooms at this equestrian-focused country-club hotel aren’t just for horsey types – opt for one of the 13 self-catering pine lodges, and you might even get a hot tub or sauna. The latter are great if you’ve little ones, who’ll love the pony lessons and alpaca walking, which they can do on-site. Past pony rides? The Italian restaurant and cocktail bar Palomino’s, traditional Scottish breakfast (included in all room tariffs), walks in the extensive grounds and jaunts to Glasgow just 15 minutes away offer lots of opportunities to unwind.
