We so very much enjoyed our stay at Isles of Glencoe. This is a lovely property, both charming and…read morecozy with some very nice perks. Rooms come with a small bottle of local gin + snacks to enjoy - all free. The direct view of the lake and snow capped mountains from my room was stunning. Sunrises and sunsets from this vantage point are hard to beat. The hospitality provided at the restaurant and bar onsite were terrific. Breakfast is a generous offering with plenty of sweet and savory dishes - plus haggis and black pudding for those brave enough to try! Rooms are well sized and comfortable. Bathrooms have built in towel warmers - a nice feature. This property sets itself apart by being modern enough yet maintaining its character and showcasing the natural beauty of the outdoors. If my travels bring me back to this area of Scotland in the future, I definitely hope to return to Isles of Glencoe for another stay.

Staying at the hotel for 2 nights, so booked our first dinner at the hotel restaurant. What a huge…read moredisappointment. To be clear, much of the food was quite good, but the service was so exceptionally erratic that it detracted from almost every phase of the meal. Arrived on time for our 7pm reservations, and we were seated immediately. 15 minutes passed without even being acknowledged, so we hailed a waitress from the bar area and asked for some service. She sent over a waiter about 5 minutes later. We ordered everything: wine, appetizers and our mains. It was another 15 minutes before a single glass of wine appeared. The table next to us sat down 10 minutes AFTER us and ordered the same appetizers (steamed mussels), and got their food in less than 10 minutes. Another 15 minute wait and we had to ask about our appetizers before they came out. Mussels were EXCELLENT, which is the only reason this isn't a 1 star rating. My wife had the trout, which she loved. I ordered the duck breast, which the waiter emphasized would come out "red" which is very much how I like it. The duck was grey. Good flavor, but very tough and dry. The vegetables and barley were quite tasty, but the duck was a disappointment. After dinner, we passed on dessert, but I wanted to order a whiskey. The waiter seemed quite flustered, and said, "If you order whiskey from me, I'll have to go to the bar to get it, so better if you just pay your bill and order from the bar yourself." I told him then that the service had been "terrible" and he said, "I know." and walked off. We won't be eating here our second night, despite very few options in the Glencoe area. This was eating out at a fine dining price, with the service of a motel. Very sad.

Booked 2 superior rooms for 1 night. One room was 50% smaller that the other. So small, I would…read moreclassify it as a glorified closet. Could not walk around the bed if someone was standing or sitting at the bottom. The chair was hiding behind the bathroom door. If the overhead light worked we would have seen it earlier. The safe was triggered open and could not be used. In order to use the suitcase caddy, we had to put it in front of the room door. Only place that it would fit. When we brought the issue up to management, their answer was "It is an old hotel and the rooms are assigned at the time of booking and it is the luck of the draw. REALLY!!!! The larger room had 3 large windows whereas the smaller room had a single 14" window. Be careful when booking this hotel. Lots of stairs and the room is "The luck of the draw!"

The staff is accommodating-the room was nice (no view though) and clean. However, the place was understaffed. When visiting their dining room, it was a frantic mess. Not enough wait staff to care for everyone. Long waits to get service, even with a reservation. The food was ok but not worth the high prices. I had the Sea Bass and it was overcooked and dry. When speaking with the staff, they shared their frustration with not being able to give good service due to being understaffed. The hotel manager was serving?! Again, not many choices in the area so you are kind of forced to eat/stay there. Overall we were happy with our stay.

The walls are a bit thin but we weren't disturbed and we had a very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend!

You're basically in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nothing but beautiful landscapes that Scotland has to offer. A hiker and campers paradise. We didn't stay by stopped for a bite to each while going through Glencoe. Right from the moment of driving into the property, which basically in situated off the road and miles away from anything else. The entrance of stoned wall/gate welcomes you with the Scottish flag flying high above. Down the driveway across the bridge, the hotel greets you. A patch of pine trees to the left and a little lake welcomes you. The main hotel greets is what you see as there are smaller lodges/cabin to the side. We also did notice that there were some camping around the back. Picturesque is not even a word with the nature and beauty of Scotland from the property. Also, there was two deers that was just enjoying the property with not a care in the world as people are snapping pictures of them. Not sure if they tend to stay on property or just wander in every now and then. It's a Mecca for the hikers and campers. As there were loads of them just lounging and having a pint afterwards. When you walk into the lobby, front desk is in-front. To the left is the bar and restaurant. To the right, a lounge seating area with games and books. A study den vibe and the focal point, the large stone fireplace. We stopped off for some food at the bar part. It was pretty busy so tables were pretty much all taken if you had a big group. Menu was limited for the bar area. Didn't have much of what we wanted so kept it pretty easy. Soup, a pint and some haggis balls. Service was just ok, as we think our waiter may have been new. Otherwise, everything was great. Based on hotel, it's a beautiful place. Like mentioned, didn't stay but if you're looking for nature, this is a place to try. They also have pods for those romantic dinner outside. One with nature with what Scotland has to offer.

While the hotel is a decently nice one in the middle of nowhere Highlands + hiking nearby, their…read morecustomer service is pretty awful. I wanted to get married in the highlands, and I heard lots of good things about ceremonies in the middle of nature in this area (in Scotland, you can get married anywhere with their free roam law). I let the hotel know in September 2023 I'd be coming for a wedding with my fairly small (large for international travel) group of 15 people, but we wouldn't be using the hotel for their wedding package, etc. They would not give any sort of group discount. I did, however, ask to reserve the dining room for the post wedding dinner, but they said they book that 90 days out. I reached out 90 days from the wedding, and they had already given away the dining room to someone who signed up for their wedding package. While it felt unfair after communicating 6 months out, I scrambled to find another restaurant in the rural area that is Glencoe, praying they'd take a reservation and group my size. In the 3 months prior to my WEDDING, they emailed/ told me on the phone about 5 times that they have a one bride policy!? I had been planning for 6 months to come to their hotel for a special day in my and my husbands life, and now they're telling me that I have to hide all bridal decor, outfits, no ceremonies near the hotel, etc. I have to HIDE that I'm getting married because they brought in a bride later than me. I get that you want it to be special for the "paying" one, although we paid for rooms for 15 people, but how disrespectful can you get? We then had purchased high tea for a pre wedding day bridal party experience. We paid more for the outdoor experience and two weeks prior they canceled due to damage of the domes. That's fine. When we arrived for high tea, the waiter that took care of us did not provide a menu, was annoyed when we asked what tea options there were, and treated us very rudely throughout. The day of my wedding, the host at the restaurant for breakfast asked me if I was with the bridal party, and I said which one? He then proceeded to try to sit me with the other family and I said "sorry we're with a different wedding/group". He then put me in the bar area to eat, where they sat families with dogs. The rest of my bridal party they put in the restaurant without me. It was a very strange and awful experience from this hotel during one of the most special occasions. So sad! I did not let this hotel ruin my wedding for me, but they surely tried.

As soon as we drove through the island gates, we could tell we were arriving somewhere special, and although we knew the hotel was situated on its own island, we didn't actually think about the small bridge we would have to drive over to get there (this did terrify us a little!). Thankfully, we made it in time for our 6pm reservation which meant we could enjoy some welcome drinks along with some canapes on the front lawn in the sunshine, before being seated for our meal at 6.30pm. The menu itself is a 3 course set menu with 4 options to choose from for each course. We each decided to get something different so that we could taste and judge each other's food choices. However, one dish that really caught our attention was the Lobster special. Neither of us had ever tried lobster before (and where better to try than at a Michelin Starred restaurant?) but neither of us wanted to give up our starter choice either... After much deliberation, our waitress came to the rescue and suggested we upgraded our meal and add this dish as its own course to share! It was devine! All of the dishes were plated beautifully and tasted absolutely stunning - one of our favourites was the Apple Tart Tatin (apparently also a huge hit with the hotel residents - it never gets removed off the menu!). If you're visiting this corner of the world - it's certainly worth the travel for such a treat! For our full review, please visit our blog https://www.sandlblog.com/post/staycation-isle-of-eriska

Silly Goose is located in the Lime Tree Inn and it's pure perfection! We were greeted kindly and welcomed into the cozy dining space. Spacious but very romantic. We started with drinks enjoying local gin and whiskey. My husband got to try the Sassenach that he'd been eyeing! For dinner, we got the ribeye and chicken. We were so impressed with how well these were cooked. So soft and moist! We were too full for dessert but they had a nice menu of options. The restaurant is spectacular and worth the visit if you are in the area. Be sure to make a reservation as they did have to turn folks away!

It's the snobbery and the total disdain for the customer that bugged me. As a single female traveler I've never felt this much neglected and even put down before.

The other companies all got friendly asked if everything was alright, not me. I got up at 8:00, had breakfast and came back to my room, to see the towels all removed and the bed made up anew already, whit all my stuff taken off the bed and put back on, while I was checking out!
