neilser Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 We had to cancel a dbb at Malmaison Dundee as our 2 yr old got sick last minute. No refund so sent my Mum and her pal who had arrived from Ayrshire to babysit for us in Broughty Ferry. They loved it. Thought it might be a bit modern for them but no. Loved the waterfront Tay views, even woth the works on progress, vosited Malmaison often do terrific weekend deals Bloody hell ! People recommending Dundee for a visit! Long may it continue. Coincidentally I'm meeting up with some pals who are scattered all over Scotland for the first time in ages later today and we've chosen Dundee as the venue and the Malmaison as the place to stay for the overnighter. Will post my thoughts on the hotel and city after - looking forward to it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just booked me and the wife into Cameron House Hotel on Loch Lomond. On east coast someone mentioned the Marine in North Berwick. There's also a good one just up past St Andrews, can't remember the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo `81 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not East Coast, but The Cairn in Auchterarder ( forgive my spelling) is really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Just had a laugh on the phone with my Mum about her and her mate getting my night at Malmaison Dundee when the wee one was sick. She said the thing they really liked was sitting in a trendy/old fashioned cocktail bar sipping a mojito. Apparently made them feel like girls again ! I stopped her there so she couldn't tell me they went on the pull and got rattled off a couple of students. Septugenarians are fuking mental.

Big Col Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 thanks for all the suggestions, I'll get a proper look through them later. Dundee It's a treat no' a punishment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Not on the east coast but Andy Murray's Hotel - Cromlix House - near Dunblane is amazing. I hear the afternoon teas are fab but we had dinner which was excellent and surprisingly reasonable - starters around £10 and mains around £20. Room cost is high though. Outstanding range of whisky too if that's of interest - a whole room set aside to display the whisky available. Another vote for here. Went for a meal there recently. It was £90 for two. That was without wine. In fact think we both had tap water. They do a set menu for £30 a head but we liked the look of stuff on the full menu. Exceptional though and worth every penny. Love the fact the meal is cooked in full view of everyone. Agree with you about the afternoon teas. They looked excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great night in Dundee - excellent lunch at Malmaison followed by a walk along the Perth Road, visits to several pubs and a top notch curry. Genuinely surprised at how good it was - some great old pubs and a really good breakfast at the Malmaison this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ach, I don't know. As I said, I probably wouldn't be going for the shopping anyway. Not much of a shopper in any case, go when I need something, don't understand people who 'go shopping' and wander aimlessly looking at and buying stuff they didn't really intend to.

killiefaetheferry Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Ok. Just think the shopping in Dundee is pretty decent for a small city, and wondered what 'better shopping' it needed. My favourite shop in Dundee is The Cheesery. It sells lots of cheese. There is also a new 'boutique' opened in the city centre (they started in Broughty Ferry) - M Boutique. Lots of really nice gear from labels I'd never heard of, but my Mrs is spending a fortune there, and reluctantly I have to agree it's really nice stuff.
