The 'lovely' Loch Lomond spa hotel where you can enjoy a cosy roast this autumn

dailyrecord.co.uk:

When the nights turn dark and the temperature drops, nothing can cheer you up quite like a peaceful autumn staycation.While the weather may not be ideal, October and November are still a great time to head out and take in the gorgeous Scottish fall scenery.

There is no shortage of hotels and inns to stay in around the country, and many of them include spa facilities if you are in need of an extra bit of pampering.With many Scots unable to afford expensive holidays as a result of the cost of living crisis, thankfully many of these can be booked for a low price.

One example is the Buchanan Arms Hotel and Leisure Club, at which an overnight stay for two can be nabbed for just £109 through voucher website Wowcher.The hotel, which is around just five minutes from the banks of the spectacular Loch Lomond, is the perfect spot if you want a quiet holiday away from the hustle and bustle.As well as a "gorgeous guest room" with amenities such as hot drink making facilities, a flatscreen TV, and a modern bathroom with complimentary toiletries, the deal includes a full Scottish breakfast, access to the hotel's spa facilities, and even a roast dinner.The Buchanan Leisure Club is home to a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna, and a steam room, as well as a fully equipped gym.

Meanwhile, body treatments and scrubs are also available.In addition to being perfectly situated for scenic Loch Lomond walks, the Buchanan Arms is also in an ideal spot to check out other highlights of the area — such as the 13th-century Balloch Castle and the SEA LIFE Loch Lomond aquarium.Looking at travel website Tripadvisor, the Buchanan Arms Hotel and Leisure Club has an average rating of 3.5 out of five based on 1,839 reviews.One recent visitor wrote: "Stayed
