Glencoe House

Our stay at Glencoe House was tops! It is ideally located right next to Glencoe Lochan with a number of walking trails. The property is tucked away from the main road, so it is very quiet & private. We stayed in Suite 6, which had a wonderful view of the mountain & lots of changing foliage in every window. In-suite dining both nights that we stayed was superb with the 3-course meal being well worth the value. Everything we had from breakfast to dinner was delicious. This place was a special treat & well-worth the cost.

We enjoyed our stay at Glencoe House so much. We enjoyed hiking on the nearby trails around Lake Lochran. The dinner we had here was amazing. (We ate a lot of good food on this trip and this meal was my absolute favorite). We enjoyed the amenities in our room including complimentary champagne, the honesty bar, and outdoor deck. The staff was very kind.

Our stay at the Hotel Glencoe was absolutely spectacular. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel so welcome – always friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. We had the chance to experience both the lodge and the suite, and each had its own charm. The lodge was very comfortable, with the added luxury of a whirlpool, which we really enjoyed. Perhaps the only suggestion would be to offer a prepared breakfast service for an even more complete experience. The suite, however, was simply incredible. The views over the lake were breathtaking, and the romantic dinner we had there was unforgettable. The mattress was a little soft for our personal taste, but everything else was truly 6-star level. We will definitely be coming back – and next time, if possible, we’ll choose the suite with a whirlpool. A truly memorable and highly recommended experience!

I stayed 3 nights in a lovely suite looking towards the Pap of Glencoe. It was an enjoyable experience. But, I think the hotel still has more potentials to unleash. I’m fortunate to have quite some experience with establishments, especially country house hotels, in this country. So, this review will hopefully be an honest take on what happened during my stay.||Bear in mind that I have some dietary needs and I can be sensitive to a lot of things so it might not apply to the average traveller who’s debating if they will choose this hotel. ||———— Brilliant ———— ||Great access to Glencoe area. There couldn’t be a better place to stay in Glencoe if your budget is fine. ||The view from my suite is stunning. Yeah, it’s the Pap of Glencoe, which is the hill I’ll walk/(or indeed climb as it’s so steep and boggy) during my stay. So lovely to have a peek at the top. Amazing for photography at blue hour. ||Staffs have good local knowledge. Weeks before I arrive at the hotel, they gave me a comprehensive list of activities to do in the area. I was able to benefit a lot from their local knowledge and wonderful advice. Things like hillwalkings, outdoor activities, local attractions, and craft shops. ||———— Good ————||Dinner and breakfast are served in my suite, which is comfortable and private. Food is delicious and with wide options for different dietary requirements. Would recommend the sea food platter, the earl grey plum, or just a simple full Scottish. They have a good variety of sorbet so I can have something different each night. ||The original architecture is beautiful and it’s so nice just to walk around in the house. Good locally inspired details from the key to the suite. ||There’s a good selection of wines in their maxi bar. But you don’t have a sommelier corkscrew (knife) in the suite so I don’t know how you are supposed to open the wax/tin seal on the bottles. ||———— It can be better ————||They accidentally served me butter (milk) on the first night (I need to follow a dairy-free diet and it was a little scary cause you can’t tell from the look if the butter is dairy-free or not. Luckily we caught it before anything happened). Cue: you might need to be a little proactive with your dietary needs. | |I really enjoy hillwalking and the place is known for its mountaineering history. It’s a shame they don’t have a dry room or some facilities to have my boots and other equipment dried/brushed. I did dry it in my room, which is very warm. ||The bed linen might not be for everyone, especially hot sleepers. I woke up several times each night and was sweating when falling asleep, then freezing deep into the night. Somehow it was some of the worst sleeps for me in my Highland and Island trip this time.

Simply wonderful. Stayed overnight on our way to Skye. Stayed in a family suite in the main house with separate living room, dining room, and two winged bedrooms (one with a claw-foot tub!). The room was amazing. Quite simply the nicest suite my family has ever experienced. Dinner and breakfast served in the room. The food was incredible and worth every penny. One of the best meals we had during our stay in Scotland. The chef even popped in to confirm everything was to our liking. Seriously? Wow. The staff who set up the table with fine linen and silverware for dinner and breakfast the next morning were attentive and charming. We felt like royalty. A large country manor house with quite a history set on lovely grounds with walking trails. Sits back from the main road. Absolutely serene. Definitely stay a couple nights or more if you have the time. Can't say enough about the warm hospitality. A heartfelt thank you to all the Glencoe House staff. Just divine.

Having stayed at many top hotels around the world, I can gladly share that the Glencoe House ranks in my top 3 of all time. The setting along the loch and at the foot of the mountain range, is simply magnificent...the area is one of the most beautiful spots imaginable. The hotel itself is amazing...the rooms make you feel like you are staying in Holyrood House or Balmoral Castle. The service is impeccable, and we were visited by the head chef each morning to set expectations and to choose our courses for that evening's dinner...the meals are served in your private room's dining area. One of the highlights... we were hoping to get a glimpse of a Red Deer stag, but our chances were rather remote as we had booked several excursions over a two night stay. The staff were helpful in mapping us out prime viewing spots, but we realized would need a bit of luck to spot one. Then later that afternoon whilst in our room preparing for the evening meal, I looked out our window into the hotel's back yard, and wow! A beautiful stag grazing not 50 yards away! We will never forget our 2 days in Glencoe and our stay at this wonderful estate.

Our room was lovely with a beautiful view and dining room. The jacuzzi was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The food, specifically the gnocchi and seafood platter, was just fabulous. |The view from our room of the water was spectacular, I just wish the backyard had less mowed grass and more wildflowers to look at.

We stayed for two nights in Strathcona Lodge 14 at the end of September. ||The lodge was beautifully decorated and creature comforts catered for. ||The lounge area had a comfortable sofa and a log burner. The kitchen was well stocked with food and equipment. ||The frozen ‘Cook’ evening meals provided in the freezer were delicious and easy to cook with the beautiful Smeg range oven. There was a dining table and place mats and Bose speaker available to connect to your own phone or device. ||The bathroom had a double rain shower and a bath tub with candles and bath bombs provided. The soap/shower gel/ shampoo and conditioner were all good quality local products which smelt wonderful. Slippers also supplied and towels were lovely and soft. ||The hot tub in the court yard was a treat after a dip at the Meeting of Three waters. Flip flops and bath robes were supplied and it was lovely and private. ||Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Richard on check in was very informative about the room and local area. We ran out of butter and were delivered extra at no extra cost. ||There is plenty of water provided in the room. Drinks are additional cost but seemed reasonably priced. There are also stores nearby to pick up essentials. ||We would definitely recommend this hotel / self catering. The location was ideal for enjoying the Glencoe area and also to view the Jacobite train nearby.

If you get the chance, you must stay here. They treat everyone like royalty. Every detail is thought of thoroughly. We booked suite 7, which is the entire 2nd floor. I have nothing to compare it to, but I can't imagine anything being better. It has 2 bedrooms, one with a dressing room. An office. A large living room and dining room. Gorgeous bathroom. Fully stocked mini bar. And they bring breakfast and dinner to you.

Outstanding on so many levels. From James welcoming you on arrival to Sebastian the Chef coming to discuss dining options with you. Graham, the manager, runs an exceptional property and the team are phenomenal. Our suite was immaculate, had everything you could wish for and beautifully appointed. Breakfast & Dinner are served in your suite, the team who serve you are friendly and fun adding to the charm and uniqueness of this magnificent house. There is no bar per say but your suite is stocked with everything you could hope for. We loved this property, absolute gem with the best service you could ask for. Well done Graham & team

ocation: We took the ferry over from Corran, from there it was about a 25-minute drive to Glencoe house. You'll turn up a random driveway and think your GPS is wrong, but just trust it. It's a great location if you're starting the A82 Glencoe highway. Rooms: We stayed in Suite 2 + Suite 4 for one night, and omg they were so so big. Suite 2 had a dining/living room with a view of the lake + a large private terrace with hot tub. Suite 4 was on the 2nd floor with a separate dining room and living room and 2 bedrooms that were on opposite sides. It also had lake views. Both rooms had a nespresso machine with milk + sugar. One of the best things was there was also a bar with snacks and drinks and the prices were like supermarket level, it was all super reasonably priced. Giant king-sized beds with soft + clean sheets. Again the bed is a little softer than I like but still comfortable. The bathroom was the best with heated tiles (I'm pretty sure..or they were weirdly warm) + a giant separate tub complete with bath salts + bubbles. Aveda shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Body lotion was another brand. Even though the hotel seemed full, it was really really quiet. Other Things: When you arrive, you can park in front of the house first to unload your luggage. The door was locked and you do have to ring the doorbell. They were very welcoming and it was so nice to come in and sit down + enjoy a glass of champagne by the fire. I'm sorry, I'm horrible with names but the manager gave us a quick history of the house as well as answered any questions about the architecture. After he showed us to the rooms, he also went through all the amenities with us and gave us a quick tour to make us feel welcome. There is no restaurant on-site. A week before we checked-in, they had sent us a menu but I thought we could just find a nearby restaurant. Well, everything closes really early so even though we didn't reserve in time for the full 5-course meal, they were able to whip up a three-course meal for us. It was so good and it was a lovely experience dining in the room. So definitely consider that if you're staying here + pre-order in advance. I'm not a foodie, but I thought the steak was really good. It also includes breakfast in your room. Also be sure to check out the lake that the dude had made for his wife! So pretty!

I will start with this, this is not a hotel but an experience. Yes this experience is off the beaten path but isn't it true most things worth doing require a little research and word of mouth. So I will say you MUST have a car while staying here. It took a 3 hour drive from st Andrews to the Glencoe house, hidden in a small village in the Highlands. we pulled up and the sight of the house was amazing, we entered and were greeted by James. James is a wonder and what I consider to be an expert on Scottish history, not to mention he was wearing a kilt and Harris tweed, which I knew nothing about but I do now! James got us all settled in our room, explained everything and how everything worked, got our luggage and settled our car for us. 5 star service. That evening we had a delicious dinner in our suite, suite 1, dinner was great and service was a wee bit slow for our NJ/NY taste but was lovely. Our entire stay was fabulous down to breakfast in the mornings. If we return to Scotland it would be to visit Glencoe house again.

Glencoe House is amazing! My husband and I took a two week trip throughout the UK, and this was our favorite place. Our only regret was staying for just two nights. Roger and his staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. Very gracious, and willing to help with ideas for day trips, dinner locations, etc. They even had champagne waiting for us upon arrival. The staff made us feel like we were part of the family. We stayed in Suite 5, all I can say is WOW!! Suite 5 is big! It has a separate dining room, living room with TV/DVD/iPod loaded with different songs, and DVDs, bedroom, bathroom, plus an additional room with double tubs. Incredible! All the rooms were very clean, as were all the common areas. The views from anywhere in the hotel or on the grounds were outstanding! Glencoe House overlooks Loch Leven, and it is beautiful!! My husband and I wish we could have stayed here longer, and are already planning another trip back when we can stay even longer.

Amazing service. Beautiful property with many nature trails and lake. Rooms spacious and very comfortable. Very relaxing with full service meals served privatey in your room ( above and beyond room service). Loved it.
