 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey guys, I have been going up to glenshee since i started skiing in 2009 and I love it, for obvious reasons I cant be going to austria 5 times a year.
I usually stay in the Crerar hotel in pitlochry which is a 40 minute drive from the ski area. I was looking to book up for a week day and they are charging outrageous prices this year.
Last year i got an AMAZING deal where it was £15p.p.p.n, i think that was a ONE OFF kind of thing, now they are charging about £90 per night for for the two of us.
Can anyone please suggest a hotel that is cheap? The spittal of glenshee hotel is fully booked.

Have you thought about Braemar. It is almost as close as the Spittal and you have the advantage of being in a village.
I cannot recommend anywhere as it is more than 20 years since I did this last, I am sure you can find hotels and guesthouses on the internet.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Try Fife Arms Hotel, Braemar Use any of the hotel booking sites e.g booking.com, latebooking.com. Around £55 for 2 incl breakfast and it's a big imposing Victorian Hotel. Only 15 mins to slopes.

Have you checked out Gulabin Lodge Bunkhouse at Spittal of Glenshee, never used it myself. Other than that there must be loads of other hotels b&b's in Pitlochry, Blairgowrie or possibly Kirkmichael that can give you a good price.

we stayed in the gulabin lodge last year, a bit cramped but ideal for a weekend and probs as close to the slopes as you can get. also try the spittal of glenshee hotel, we had a few pints there and it seemed quite nice but may be expensive.

Sainter, depending on how much luxury you want......the syha hostel in Braemar is nice, and you can book private rooms. A bed in a dorm would be around £15pn

"A bed in a dorm would be around £15pn" yea id expect that,, which is why it was such a surprise that i got a room for £15pppn INCLUDING BREAKFAST!
I think it may have been a bug in the booking system maybe? or they were extremely desperate!! who knows

it's great to see the spittal hotel is fully booked. always wondered how much business they got as glenshee is only 1.5 hours from home never needed one.

I heard the Log Cabin hotel in Kirkmichael has been taken over and it's pretty cool but don't know how much they charge.
