Three top hotels near Glasgow have been named among the best stays in Scotland by travel experts.

In a new list, Condé Nast Traveller magazine revealed its picks for the best places to spend a night north of the border.

The illustrious Cameron House on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond has been voted the best stay for couples.

This historic property is the embodiment of a truly festive Scottish getaway.

Experts noted that visitors might even have the chance to spot some famous faces, with past guests including Barack Obama and Sir Winston Churchill.

The hotel stands out not only for its elegant rooms with velvet headboards and tartan blankets, but also for the range of classic Scottish pursuits on offer.

Guests can enjoy fishing, countryside walks and spa treatments, or take on one of the two golf courses on the estate.

A leisure centre with pools and water slides, a fairy trail for children and gifted teddy bears underline its family‑friendly spirit.

Stays at Cameron House start at about £360 per night.

Mar Hall in Bishopton has also been listed as a top spot in Scotland.

The Renfrewshire hotel has a stunning vantage point above the River Clyde, offering mist-filled views over the water and breathtaking scenes of the surrounding hills.

The former private residence boasts Gothic-style architecture and retains its original grandeur thanks to a meticulous recent renovation.

Guests can enjoy a lobby lounge, central bar, restaurant and cocktail bar, as well as an on-site spa and games room.

Some of the luxurious rooms feature elegant lounges and even grand pianos.
The grounds are adorned with rose gardens, bucket swings hanging from ancient trees, pétanque areas and more.

Mar Hall promises an appealing atmosphere both inside and out, with prices starting at about £195 per night.

Meanwhile, Glenapp Castle in Ballantrae offers a journey through Scotland’s grandeur and natural beauty.

Famed for its moody Ayrshire coast, rolling moorland and noble baronial architecture, the castle is a paradise for outdoors enthusiasts and families alike.

A tour known as the Hebridean Sea Safari, led by an RNLI skipper and a marine biologist, invites guests to explore nearby islands.

On remote shores, guests can go glamping in sophisticated tents, all under the attentive care of a private chef.

Accommodation begins at about £310 per night.
