Glencoe House

Second visit to Glencoe House, staying in suite 8. The location and property are excellent, Sebastian’s food is ridiculously good and service is faultless. A hotel is still just a hotel and the staff make or break it and the team at Glencoe are exceptional. We’ll definitely be making a third visit.

We stayed here for 3 nights for our 20th anniversary at the end of October/start of November for our first stay in the Highlands - our friends thought we were slightly unhinged! We were blessed with three sunny days and one day of rain, snow, wind, rainbows and sunshine and got in lots of great hiking without needing a car. The location is absolutely superb: picturesque Lochan and it's three trails (loch, woodland and mountain) is literally on the doorstep, and it's an easy hike down to the Glen itself and up towards the Pap for tremendous views. The village of Glencoe is nearby with some lovely craft shops and cafes (seek out the waterfall too!) and it's an easy bus or taxi ride from Fort William. We also got a bus to Kinlochleven to hike to the Grey Mare waterfall and abandoned Mamore Lodge. Our suite (8) was not only truly enormous and quietly luxurious but cosy and comfortable, with easy-to-regulate heating and fantastic facilities and views. The bespoke in-room dining was a lovely experience and the chef coming to discuss preferences in the morning was so nice. The suite layout is really thoughtful, especially the bathroom and hot-tub facilities. Relaxing in the hot-tub looking over the Loch in the evening was an experience we won't forget! It was neat to be able to sync music from phone to wireless speaker as well, for some mood music over dinner. We didn't miss the open fireplace shown on the website (which is a bit out of date - they were decommissioned for safety reasons some time ago) at all - plenty of candles for a romantic glow, and there was a blazing hearth in the reception area. If you want to socialise with other guests this is not the place as there is no bar, but if you value quiet privacy, this is for you. You won't be short of a drink though, as the in-room honesty bar was exceptional both in range and value for money. All in all, very highly recommended and we wish we had stayed longer. Heartfelt thanks to all of the staff for such a wonderful stay and we hope to see you again.

Lovely and huge suite looking out over the mountains. Meals served in our own private dining room. Had champagne in our two matching clawfoot tubs while looking at the mountain. Just fabulous. Staff was very friendly. We would return in a heartbeat!

Excellent overnight stay in celebration of my 40th birthday. We stayed in suite 8 with hot tub which was perfect - huge terrace outside and very secluded. The suite was large and beautifully decorated with a real Christmas tree, a well stocked (and very fair priced) bar and a super comfortable bed made for a great night sleep! Our dinner and breakfast were absolutely fantastic - the chef (Seb) went above and beyond as did all staff we met to ensure our stay was top class - a special mention to Angela for making our stay that extra bit special. Our first time here but hopefully not the last!

This was our first stop on our weeklong tour of Scotland. First of, area of Glencoe is astounding! The valley was just so entrancing and the walks are unbelievable. Our stay at Glencoe House was very good. We selected Suite 2 and the views from the very large suite were breaktaking. The Hot tub was A+ - very hot, clean and large and again overlooking amazing vistas (specifically the loch's edge). The maxi bar was great. The towels and bathrobes, fluffy. Breakfast and dinner served in suite at the large dining room table. They had staff come in to present each course. The food was very very good. Though, not a huge fan of having meals in the suite because it also meant staff coming in and out to serve and clear up plates. The grounds of the hotel are lovely - well maintained walks galore. Overall, recommend and just be aware you are paying a large premium to do so. I'm still not sure I would book again at the price (740 GBP/night, which is comparable to The Fife Arms and about 3x more than the area) but we enjoyed our staff and also the staff is helpful and friendly.

Graham and his team offer unrivalled hospitality and customer service. Fabulous location and a truly unique experience. This was our 3rd visit and each one has been equally magnificent. An early morning pre breakfast walk around the lake is a must, and if you’re quiet you’ll probably see deer 🦌 drinking, The food is magnificent 👌.

I have no words - this hotel is truly magnificent and luxury at its finest. We stayed in suite 6 (apparently one of the ‘smaller’ suites). It was huge, clean, romantic and cosy! It couldn’t have been more Christmassy. Persian style rugs throughout, a Christmas tree in the lounge and a beautiful bathroom with stand-alone bath and monsoon shower. Dinner is served to the table - I felt like royalty! It was such an intimate and private experience being in your own cosy setting at dinner - the food was delicious. The suites have ‘maxi’ bars and they are incredibly reasonably priced, (unlike the majority of ‘mini’ bars in Europe which charge you an arm & a leg for a Diet Coke). We had to leave a night earlier than expected due to my boyfriends work commitments and the hotel was so understanding - the chef made us sandwiches to take en route as we were leaving in the middle of the night and consequentially would miss out on breakfast. The reception team, waitresses & staff are so friendly attentive - nothing is too much trouble. Everything was truly 5* and we can’t wait to come back later on next year. Thank you Glencoe House for an unforgettable experience - my only regret was leaving!

My third stay at this beautiful hotel. Stunning views, excellent service. Luxury at its finest. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was perfect and we were so lucky with the weather. Myself and my husband were in suite 2 and my daughter and son in law were in the self catering lodge. Emmaculatly clean. We will be back soon

Glencoe House was a very memorable experience. We stayed in October 2023 in the self catering rooms. I was worried since the suites inside the house were already booked, but there was no reason to worry!!!! The self catering Strathcona Lodge room number 11 that we booked was so charming, luxurious & very large!! It was well stocked beyond anything we had ever experienced in our fairly extensive travels. They had thought of every need we might have!!! The room included breakfast and lunch foods and gourmet frozen meals if you wanted to stay in for dinner. Also, a very important feature was the washer/dryer combo unit in our room, which we appreciated having so much! The check in, check out process was flawless - quick and easy. The grounds of Glencoe House are just lovely, and the air there is crisp and fresh because of all the large, mature trees surrounding the area! I cannot recommend Glencoe House more highly, it was one of our best travel experiences ever!!
