Weekend away - Scotland

[historyinthemaking]

I’m looking to book a weekend away (fri 31st Oct > Sunday 2nd nov) for me (34) and sister (27) and our two kids (7 &4) for my sisters birthday

were looking for a lodge / cabin / that kind of idea with a hot tub (this is our must have)

we’ve never done anything like this before so open to any ideas just wondering if anyone has any recommendations instead of going off pure google recommendations

not looking to travel into England or spend thousands (max £600ish)

Roughly what area are you travelling from?

We stayed at Loch Tay Highland Lodges a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. This lodge meets your requirements but is £684 for that weekend. https://bookings.largoleisure.co.uk/AvailabilityRange.aspx?resparkid=0&resholidaytype=1&resadults=4&reschildren=2&resinfants=0&resdogs=0&resarrivedate=2025-10-31&resdepartdate=2025-11-02&resnumnights=2&externallink=1 here]{

They have a milkshake bar with fun flavours, farm animals like highland cows to look at, and do a popular pumpkin event on the farm which could be fun.

Absolutely love this one and think we’re going to book it! Thankyou so much for your recommendation!!

ive just booked this and used chat GPT to get a discount code - ended up getting 2 nights for £359!! Absolute bargain we are over the moon! Thank you so much again!!

Wow thats amazing! Do you mind sharing how you used chat gpt to do this? Genius!

@hm1610i took a screenshot of our booking, uploaded it to chat GPT and said “do you have any discount codes for this?” And it did its thing then sent me back a code to put in the box and the discount worked! It was a discount code from a magazine :)

Thanks so much!

That’s brilliant. So glad my insomnia was useful! We had a week there last month, in that type of lodge but without a hot tub. We had a good time, nice site and local area.

I’d never thought of using ChatGPT to look for discounts.
