Lakeside hotel launches fuel price-buster breaks

The Lake of Menteith Hotel in Perthshire is launching fuel price-buster breaks to help customers benefit from a well earned holiday without worrying about rising fuel costs.

Enjoying a stunning waterfront location on the edge of Scotland’s only lake, the hotel is offering customers the choice of a £20 fuel rebate per room per stay or courtesy car pick-up and return from Stirling Railway Station.

Owner Ian Fleming said; “In the current climate of stagnating house prices, rising fuel costs and talk of recession, we are all working harder than ever just to stand still. Everyone needs to escape for a while from the pressures of modern living and The Lake Hotel offers a truly tranquil setting where guests can get away from it all and feel revitalised. For anyone who’s worried about the cost of travelling, our fuel price-buster breaks will offer peace of mind and allow guests to truly enjoy their stay.”

He added, “Tourism is vital to Scotland’s economy and now, more than ever, we need to support customers who want to beat the ‘credit crunch’ and benefit from some well-earned down-time. We are Scotland’s first hotel chain to come up with this innovative rebate or pick-up package and we are confident that it will appeal to a wide range of customers.”

The fuel price-buster break is also available at The Lake of Menteith’s sister venue, The Terraces Hotel, in Stirling and is available at both locations during August and September. Both properties are part of the Fleming Homestead portfolio.

Since purchasing The Lake Hotel in February 2005, Ian Fleming has invested over £400,000 in a complete refurbishment of the public areas, conservatory restaurant and bedroom stock. The hotel also now features a stylish Malt Vault for whisky sampling as well as a brand new Port Bar.

Also part of the Fleming Homestead portfolio is Fleming’s latest venture, Striped Bass, in Glasgow’s ultra stylish Princes Square. Striped Bass is the city’s sexiest new seafood restaurant and Louis Roederer champagne bar. It offers a bold and contemporary platform for seafood, with the emphasis on seasonal and sustainable produce. Louis Roederer is the restaurant’s official champagne partner, the only such relationship in the UK.
