A Different Kind of Weekend Break Near Glasgow

There’s something special about finding a place to stay that feels like part of the trip.

Not just a room for the night, or somewhere you only use as a base. Somewhere with a story, a setting, and a reason to slow down.

That’s what we’ve created at Jackton Distillery Accommodation. The perfect spot for your weekend break near Glasgow.

Set in the countryside near East Kilbride, just minutes from Glasgow, our self-catering cottages sit on the grounds of a working Lowland distillery. They’re designed for couples, friends and small groups looking for a short break in Scotland with a little more character.
