I don’t think I’ve stayed in a more thoughtful place. This was hotel #18 in 21 days of travel and we weren’t in the best frame of mind when we arrived. So many B&Bs and hotels do what’s best for them instead of the guest, but Glencoe House was 100% about the guests. We stayed in the lodges. Tired from driving all day in the rain, we weren’t looking forward to finding a restaurant, and I was sure that whatever food they left in the fridge (per their website) would be minimal. So very wrong. What a feast we had. And I was shocked to learn it was all included in the rate. (Not that it was cheap - we paid about $700 per night - I think the most we’ve ever spent on a hotel.) There were many choices of very delicious frozen meals, side dishes, garlic bread, desserts, cheese. Also a complimentary half bottle of nice champagne. Also breakfast foods - cereals, milk, bread, yogurt, juice, plus fresh foods to cook, including eggs, vegetables, several kinds of meat/sausages. For reasonable fees they also had a wide choice of drinks and mixers, a great selection of bottles of wine, and a selection of scotches. Beyond the food and drinks, they had prepped a fire in the wood burning stove and the hot tub on the deck was heated and ready. All equipment - kitchen cooker, bathroom fixtures etc were top notch, even the hair dryer was a Dyson. There were candles and a champagne bucket on the side of the tub. Great super king bed and linens. Full and half baths. I could go on. Everything was super intuitive and easy to use. If the owners truly want to go above and beyond, they might consider adding a reading chair to the living room, as the low velour couch was a challenge for my husband.

Stayed here four years ago and as we liked it so much we decided to stay again, this time a little bit longer. We went for suite 4 this time as although it’s a little “smaller” it’s still about the size of a house, and because it was higher than suite 3 we had an even better view of the loch. I have a mobility issue but it was no problem getting to the room thanks to the “antique” lift. A seat miraculously appeared in the shower without me having to ask. I also appreciated never having to lift a suitcase from the moment we arrived in the car park until we left it. The staff were all amazing. Cheryl and Bryony served breakfast and dinner in our suite, always with a smile and although we didn’t actually see any of the housekeeping team the whole place was absolutely spotless. We had one worry when the chef, Sebastian, announced that he was having a couple of days off, but it was no problem, every meal was excellent.
