Friday: Romantic Weekend Getaway Begins
Start your romantic weekend in Auchterarder by arriving at ApartNest, where check-in is quick and easy thanks to our self-check-in system. Our spacious, design-led apartments provide everything you need to unwind after your journey. Relax together in your suite, perhaps with a glass of wine as you plan your weekend.
Step out for a gentle stroll along Auchterarder’s charming High Street. This pretty stretch is lined with independent shops, cosy cafes, and warm hospitality. For dinner, we recommend Jon & Fernanda’s Restaurant – an intimate setting serving fine Scottish cuisine that’s perfect for a romantic evening.
Want to make your arrival extra special? We can arrange a bouquet of fresh flowers or a chilled bottle of prosecco to be waiting in your suite – just let us know in advance. These little local touches help make ApartNest feel like a true home away from home.
Saturday: Explore & Indulge
Indulge your romantic weekend with a scenic walk hand-in-hand. The area offers several picturesque walking trails, ranging from the woodland paths near Drummond Castle Gardens to the peaceful tracks around Glen Devon. The fresh air and natural beauty set the tone for a refreshing and connected day together.
Mid-morning, stop by Cee Cee’s café on the High Street – a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Enjoy a coffee and home-baked treat while soaking in the small-town charm.
For a luxurious afternoon, treat yourselves to a couple’s massage or spa session at Gleneagles. The serene spa, complete with thermal suite and tranquil pool, offers a sanctuary for two. Afterward, you might enjoy a cocktail in their lounge or relax in one of the beautifully manicured gardens.
When it’s time for dinner, you have a choice: opt for the relaxed yet romantic ambience of The Dormy, or push the boat out with a reservation at Andrew Fairlie’s, the only two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Scotland. Either way, you’re in for a memorable culinary experience for your romantic weekend getaway.
If the weather is kind, consider packing a picnic and heading to one of the nearby gardens or hilltop viewpoints. Few things are more romantic than enjoying a quiet moment together amidst the rolling Perthshire landscape.
Sunday: Slow Morning & Farewell Brunch
After a peaceful night’s sleep, enjoy a slow morning with fresh coffee and breakfast in your apartment. Our well-equipped kitchens make it easy to start the day at your own pace.
Prefer to head out? Wander to a local café for a relaxed farewell brunch. Cairn Lodge offers a refined yet laid-back weekend menu, while Delivino is loved for its Mediterranean flair and artisan coffees.
Before departing, take one last walk along Auchterarder’s High Street. Pop into one of the artisan shops or galleries to pick up a keepsake – a small reminder of your special weekend together.
ApartNest’s central location makes your couples’ getaway in Perthshire seamless, offering all the luxury of a resort with the freedom of self-catering.
