Despite grand proportions, the Grade A-listed Georgian Boath House Hotel has a very friendly and cosy feel to it. It seems the fires are always lit and all the warmly decorated rooms have views over the hotel's 20-acres of  garden. Bedroom No 3 has a canopy bed and a pair of free-standing roll-top baths for a truly romantic and hopefully passionate night.

Food is equally excellent with Michelin-starred chef Charlie Lockley cooking up a storm with organic, seasonal ingredients, many of them home-grown. Definately recommended.

Universally admired for the quality of service, location and general value for money. Rated Number 2 in Edinburgh by TripAdvisor members and especially esteemed for family visitors to Edinburgh.

Part of the award winning chain of Hotel du Vin hotels, like all the others, the louche design and laid back style hides excellent service and lovely rooms for a weekend away. Yummy!

A stunning 5 star hotel - the ultimate in luxury accommodation. Impecibly trained staff, and Michelin star quality food. Needless to say, it isn't cheap to stay here, but well worth it if you can. Recommended.

Possibly the most prestigious address in Edinburgh. Once a somewhat boring railway hotel, now an acclaimed 5 star hotel in the very epicentre of the city. Lowest priced rooms are a little dark, otherwise beautiful.

Romantic Hotel of the Year 2009 and Country Bar 2011 is a lovely hotel a skip from both Glasgow and Stirling in the Trossachs. Perfect weekend getaway with walking and nature at your doorstep.

One of those special hotels that make your stay so  enjoyable,  you'll want to return to time and time again. It's ideal for a relaxing break in the Dumfriesshire countryside, and the staff are friendly and food's excellent. Trigony House Hotel is in the Good Hotel Guide 2010, and is one of Scotland's Hotels of Distinction.

 If you like taking your dog on holiday, he/she will enjoy it too!
