The Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa & Island, located two hours north of Glasgow is delighted to announce that the new seasonal ownership holiday retreats, Hilltop Reserves by Applecrate, are now available for spontaneous trips. Bookable up to eight weeks in advance, guests can stay in the one bedroom self contained lodges for 3 nights from £750 or 7 nights from £1,600.

Launching in July 2014, the two luxury lodges will each have their own private hot tub and boast stunning views across the sea, with the rugged Highlands in the distance. Come rain or glorious Scottish sunshine; these luxurious suites cater for every weather. Guests can sit back in the evening sun on the large external decking, or enjoy the views through their panoramic windows on their supremely comfortable furnishings beside the wood-burning stove.

The suites come complete with high speed Wi-Fi; an entertainment system; slate and wooden flooring; their own heating and water system; a luxury en-suite bedroom; and a modern state of the art kitchen. Not only will the suites be customised to blend in with the beautiful surroundings, but they will also be as fundamentally 'green' and as sustainable as possible.

If residents would like a break from cooking their own food, they can retreat to the hotel's multi-award winning restaurant just a ten minute walk away; or even indulge in an ESPA treatment in the spa. They will also have access to the hotel's indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, as well as the 9-hole golf course and indoor tennis courts. The beautiful island is inhabited by hundreds of species of wildlife; from otters to red deer and even the occasional Golden Eagle and there are countless nature trails waiting to be discovered.

The prime location of Eriska even offers the chance for guests to catch their own lunch on a fishing trip. Activities such as kayaking, whisky tasting and clay pigeon shooting can also be arranged on request.

Easily accessible from Oban, Connel Airport, Glasgow and Edinburgh, guests can arrive by car, boat, or even aboard a private sea plane from Glasgow Airport.
