“I was looking for a New Year’s Eve holiday where I could combine my time away with some crafting and Gartmore House ticked every box.”
About The Course
Would you like to do something a little bit different this New Year’s Eve?
It’s no secret that we’re always on the look out for ways to make our guests’ stays as special as possible. That’s why we came up with Hobbying at Hogmany, a unique New Year’s getaway.
If you enjoy art or craft, we invite you to spend 5 nights with us in our quaint and quirky 18th century home, with beautiful period features, comfortable en-suite accommodation and delicious home-made food. Bring your hobby with you, whether that’s your paint brushes, knitting needles, sewing machine or even walking boots, enjoy the peace and quiet of the house, make use of our wonderful art and craft rooms and work on your own project at your leisure.
Settle in by the fire, enjoy the picturesque vistas, and join us at Gartmore House on New Year’s Eve for Hobbying at Hogmanay.
Over the course of your stay, we will organise an optional visit to a local historic attraction, giving you the chance to take in the mountains, lochs and glens of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, as well as fascinating historic sights. And if it’s too much of a struggle to tear yourself away from the roaring, open fire in the lounge, that’s absolutely fine – just relax and enjoy the stunning views over to Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument or dabble away at a crossword or jigsaw puzzle.
On the evening of the 31st December, we have a couple of options for you. Perhaps you’d prefer a quiet, cosy night with a special Hogmanay meal before retiring by the fire – or maybe you’re looking for a livelier way to see in the New Year, in which case you can choose to attend our local ceilidh in the village of Gartmore, bringing in the bells with a traditional village feel.
We want to take the stress out of travel, especially over the festive period, so to make your journey go smoothly we offer a complimentary scheduled pick up and drop off service from Stirling train station, which has excellent rail links with Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Our holidays are suited to individuals and couples alike, so for a low key, get-away-from-it-all New Year you need look no further!
