Discover an Edwardian photography studio, plus a recreated 1960s garage and an impressive collection of wall-mounted vintage motorbikes, at the Riverside Museum, 13 miles from the hotel. This award-winning museum on the banks of the River Clyde features themed galleries with thousands of exhibits, and you can learn the story of Glasgow from its proud seafaring heritage to the present day.

There's plenty of family fun to be had at M&D's theme park, a stone's throw from the hotel. Dozens of exciting rides entertain children of all ages, and for meal times there are a number of restaurants and cafés scattered around the park. You can also meet birds and creepy crawlies in Scotland's only indoor tropical rainforest, and go for a strike with a game of glow-in-the-dark bowling.

The hotel sits at the northern tip of Strathclyde Country Park, with a scenic rural landscape and a wide range of outdoor activities to be enjoyed year-round. Kids love exploring the adventure playground, while at the watersports centre you can hire canoes, pedalos and speedboats to roam the loch. There's a café where you can refuel, and guided nature walks are also available.
