Murrayshall Country Estate in Scone, Perthshire, has launched a plethora of new onsite pursuits, a new wellness weekend as well as spa treatments in their newly refurbished Gate House.

The announcement comes as the hotel works towards building their £30m masterplan to diversify the estate which will include a stunning spa, leisure facilities and lodges. 

Plans have already been submitted to Perth and Kinross Council and it is expected to generate substantial investment to the local economy, whilst supporting hundreds of jobs in the area. 

The hotel has bought 10 bikes including a range of mountain and e-bikes so that guests can hire them by the hour, half day or day to roam around the 365-acre estate and beyond with carefully created maps showing walking and cycling routes.  

Several garden games are now available on the lawns including spike ball, bean bag games, a giant Jenga and chess set, swingball and a badminton set. 

For those looking to relax, a hammock swings between a couple of trees or guests can head out for a pre-prepared picnic where the hotel will provide a hamper, rug and a selection of snacks and drinks.  

In addition, the hotel has already teamed up with Willowgate Activity Centre where guests can enjoy axe throwing and laser clay shooting at the back of the 400-year-old manor house. 

Guests will be offered a selection of spa treatments, including facials and massage at the newly refurbished gate house cottage, located at the beginning of the drive. There is a lounge area for relaxing as well as the opportunity to have drinks served whilst waiting for a treatment.

Leisure manager Colin Fraser said: “We’re always looking for new ideas that will attract and inspire our guests.  With our stunning location in the heart of Perthshire, we have the space and views to match.  

“It’s great to offer guests a variety of different options from pursuits to wellbeing, that they can enjoy whilst they are staying with us.”
