Loch Awe Hotel 5 Day New Year Break
First Day
Arrive at the Loch Awe Hotel in time for dinner.
30th December
The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ and is the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea, and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig’s Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce - all well worth sampling! After a busy day of exploring return to your hotel for a complimentary sherry reception followed by dinner and entertainment.
31st December, Hogmanay
Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. This pretty town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. There is plenty to do and see in the town and a visit to the neo-classical church and Inveraray jail are a must. Just a short walk from the town sits Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll. Enjoy the neo-gothic architecture and short walks around the castle before heading back to Loch Awe for lunch. This afternoon offers a chance to relax with a film or book before seeing in the bells and celebrating the start of the new year.
1st January, New Year's Day
Celebrate the new year with brunch followed by a varied programme of entertainment. Enjoy a day of leisure to take a local stroll or relax by our open fires before afternoon tea is served. In the evening, dinner will be served followed by entertainment to round off your Scottish Hogmanay.
