We had a lovely time at the Glen Clova hotel, it's set in beautiful scenery and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and our room was very quiet. Only thing I would ask for is mineral water in the room because both taps in the bathroom were running warm water so we couldn't pour a glass from there.

We had a lovely two night stay at Glen Clova. We booked a superior room which had a great view. The room was tastefully decorated in a farmhouse style. My husband did not like the location of Room 4 which is opposite the stairs, but there is a glass screen and sliding door to reduce noise from the bar and restaurant. Food in the restaurant was excellent. The pheasant pakora was tasty and abundant. My husband liked his venison burger and I enjoyed the venison sausages and mash. Breakfast in the morning was freshly cooked and abundant. There was a particular member of staff who was very hardworking and basically seemed to run the place singlehandedly. We did not catch her name, but she loves tropical fish, especially when their tank overfills!!!! (so that should identify her!). The location for hiking is outstanding. Ample parking. We would definitely return.

Liked: Cleanliness
Struttura di 3 stelle ma con i prezzi di un 4 stelle. Per quello che l'hotel offre, tolta la posizione dominante sulle Angus glens, trovo che il prezzo non sia giustificato. Se si sta più di una notte non vengono fatte le pulizie in camera, non c'è un frigobar con delle boccette d'acqua nelle stanze, e se vuoi l'acqua la devi pagare a parte. Anche la colazione è davvero molto povera per quello che uno paga. Sinceramente non ci tornerei.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

Really relaxing stay - the hotel is in a stunning Glen on the edge of the Caingorms with spectacular scenery. The staff were really helpful (all of them) and my evening dinner was great. I regret not staying for longer, but will be back. Only negative (but may be a positive) was the lack of a phone signal - although the wifi was great.

The hotel is in a beautiful glen. Our room was spotless and had all expected amenities. Wait staff was so friendly (especially Jamie). I do wish the front desk staff was more available to give advice on things to do in the area and provide trail maps for hikes near the hotel. It was also a lot further off the beaten track than expected. However, overall, it was a good visit and I would recommend.

Gorgeous lodge

Absolutely beautiful lodge! We only had one night here, sadly, and wished we could have stayed longer. The breakfast was delicious as well, and the views from the dining room are lovely. I would have loved to explore more of the Cairngorms from this location; I bet it would be the perfect place to stay for that too.

Has to be one of my very favorite experiences visiting Scotland. We loved this hotel. It was beautiful, tidy and the staff treated us like old friends. The staff was simply amazing!!! The food was excellent and the service perfect. Our view out our window was so gorgeous, we keep reflecting back on it, green rolling hills dotted with sheep and baby lambs, incredibly beautiful and peaceful, you can help but exhale and relax. The hiking possibilities are endless, providing all levels of challenge. We adored Glen Clova and highly recommend it.

Excellent stay all round

Our stay at the Glen Clova Hotel was memorable in every way - the only negative point would be that the room was very very warm even after opening the windows and turning the radiator off. The staff were particularly helpful and attentive. The food was plentiful,tasty and well presented. A very comfortable stay
