It's a less…read morebusy part of town, but it seems like a perfect, quite stop for couples wanting a countryside vacation, hikers who love the thrill of the mountains or those just seeking a little refuge from the city. We planned to stay nearby in Glencoe and looked for a restaurant. The internet had little advice to offer but this restaurant came up multiple times with glowing reviews. 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!

Room one on the first floor was a bit more spacious with a settee as well as a separate tub and walk-in shower. Room five was on the top floor up two flights of a curving staircase. Fortunately we discovered if you park around back there is a back door you can load suitcases out from. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the restaurant. Dinner was especially impressive with upscale playing and exquisite entrees and desserts. All the staff we encountered were helpful, patient and kind.

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.

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.
