Guests cross a little bridge from the Scottish mainland to reach the unique and beautiful Isle of Eriska. The imposing Scots Baronial-style hotel on a 300-acre island on the West Coast hosts a Christmas house-party with optional activities and games. Guests can also explore the nature trails, admire views of sea and surrounding islands and mountains, or relax in the spa with its indoor pool, sauna and steam room. A four-night package from December 23 costs 940 per person and includes champagne receptions, all meals including a black-tie Christmas Day dinner and a Boxing Day barbecue lunch, plus activities such as a golf competition, Christmas Triathlon, casino night and Boxing Day dinner-dance with a lively Scottish band.
