Andrew Simpson Managing Director
Classic’s unique feel good factor grading scheme The star ratings are provided by the major grading organisations and Classic has categorised each hotel into 3 levels: Approved - Hotel is well maintained, staff trained up to an acceptable level. There is no area within the hotel, which is of concern, and meets Classic’s minimum level of expectation. Commended - Some areas in commended hotels are outstanding. For example, the new bedrooms, the great staff, or the quality of the food. Commended hotels are above average. 1st Class - Awarded to the top end hotels. Hotels where Classic receives constant favourable reviews, and is top quality in all departments, from the fabric of the hotel, to the service provided. Many missing out on an extra star due to a minor detail.

2 nights B&B with dinner on 1 night
I have booked with Classic Britain before and never had any problems. Good prices and good service.
”
Becoming an increasingly popular break, and suited to those rushing away from work, but can’t make it to the hotel in time for dinner. Or fancy trying somewhere else for dinner on the second night. You will see many hotels are offering a 2 for 1 rate and then knocking off the price of 1 dinner. The 2 nights B&B with 1 dinner are Classic’s lowest throughout the year breaks. Available Low Season: 3 Jan-20 May / 1 Oct-22 Dec High Season: 21 May – 30 Sep
Classic suggests: Gleddoch House, Langbank Fantastic location overlooking Firth of Clyde. 30 mins from Glasgow City centre. Prices are per person sharing for 2 nts BB with 1 dinner

Elite Hotel Breaks
Out of Classic’s 250 or so hotels, there are a few which shine out above the rest. They are worth a special mention. Hotels where the staff go that “extra mile” to ensure you have a totally enjoyable stay. Where each dinner is an occasion, as most likely it will be prepared by an award winning chef. Where the fabric of the hotel is fresh and of top quality.
“
The Hotel Indigo in Glasgow is absolutely fabulous, the whole hotel is modern and extremely clean, food in the restaurant is 5 star.

Cairndale Hotel is a top venue
Entertainment Breaks
Just returned from a Tribute weekend at the Angus. We had a fantastic time. All staff were very friendly and efficient, rooms and hotel spotless. Food was great.
”
Classic has without doubt one
of the largest selection of entertainment breaks you will find. Tribute nights, murder mysteries, dinner dances, ceilidhs and more. All of which can be easily checked and booked online or by calling our Reservations team. Very popular for a group of friends or family, a works night out, or for couples wishing to dance the night away.
Classic suggests: The Cairndale because it really is the main hotel in Scotland for the best tribute acts, and is simply a good all round hotel for all the family. Prices are per person on a DBB basis

Fantastic value for money, room was clean and staff friendly. Would recommend the Craws Nest.
”
A Sunday night is normally the quietest night of the week. Hotels are especially keen to promote Sunday nights by reducing rates even further, even lower than our 2 for 1’s. Savings of up to 70% can be achieved off the hotels maximum published rate, so there are great savings to be made. You can stay on just a Sunday night or you can tag it on to another of Classic’s products.
Classic suggests: Barony Castle, nr Peebles for its good food and outstanding value for money Available: 3rd Jan - 20th May 1st Oct - 22nd Dec 14
