North of Ayrshire, and indeed just north of Glasgow but within easy reach is Loch Lomond. Here you can explore the banks, visit the town of Luss, where Take the High Road is filmed, and enjoy lunch at Cameron House Hotel or Duck Bay Marina, overlooking the water. If you really want to go back in time, visit the pub at Inverarnon, called Drovers Inn, which needs to be seen to be believed! A longer but achievable drive can include Stirling and the Trossachs or Edinburgh.
Just up the road from me, lies the port of Ardrossan, from where you can catch the ferry to Arran. To travel by foot costs about £5, and to take your car over costs about £70. Attractions include Brodick castle, Goat Fell and a tough golf course!

We'd had some pretty good hotels on our trip to Andalucia, and we hoped that the hotel we had picked for our final three days wouldn't be any different. We wanted a comfortable room in a hotel on the beach with a nice sea view, but nothing too remote so that we could still enjoy all the facilities of a resort. Did we get what we wanted?
Well, read on...
We booked the HOTEL PERLA MARINA, in the town of NERJA, through bancotel.com. This is a Spanish based travel site whereby you purchase 'cheques' for 50 euros each. Depending on the hotel, season etc, a room costs between 1-3 cheques per night. This can mean savings of over 60% in some cases.
Being the intrepid bargain hunter (some would say tight-fisted git) that I am, I managed to book a series of 3 and 4 star hotels for 50 euros. This hotel was no exception.
Nerja is around ...
Advantages: Close to town and all amenities Disadvantages: none
I have never stayed in the Premier Inn before, but I felt I had to share my experience of the past weekend.
The staff in both reception and the restaurant were fantastic, they were really helpful and made you feel right at home.
The room and bathroom were both spotless, warm and the freeview television meant that my daughter didn't miss her soaps while she was away. The bed was both big and comfortable and we didn't have any trouble getting to sleep.
We opted for the breakfast deal and we were not disappointed, the food was well cooked and warm there was also plenty of choice.
Access to the hotel was excellent for both able bodied and non-able bodied people, we didn't have a wheelchair but we did have a six month old baby and a pram, and even though it is situated next to Charing Cross rail station we didn't hear a thing from ...
