I stayed in one of Scotland’s most famous luxury hotels – this is what it’s like inside

This sprawling 850-acre resort in Perthshire features plentiful outdoor activities, three golf courses, varied dining and bar options, a spa, and even its own shopping arcade

Location

The nearest town to Gleneagles Hotel is Auchterarder, which is two miles away and roughly an hour’s drive from both Glasgow and Edinburgh. If you’re travelling by train (it’s about a 5 hour 30 mins journey from London King’s Cross), Gleneagles railway station lies just outside Auchterarder. The station is a two-minute car journey to the hotel and a complimentary chauffeur will transport guests between the two. Alternatively, the route by road offers a beautiful view as you arrive into the Scottish Highlands.
