The highlander is our go to stopping point when we’re heading to Glencoe. We usually have our small dog with us and it’s great that it’s dog friendly. We’ve stayed 3/4 times now and would definitely stay again. It’s clean and the foods good.

Firstly room was clean, staff friendly and helpful, breakfast good. However the Hotel badly needs an update. The heater on bedroom wall needed replaced, a light fitting on the ceiling was hanging loose, the interior fixture and fittings need replaced with new ones, the shower cubicle barely big enough. Ok for a one night stay but couldn’t have stayed another night.
