“Lovely place and owners! One of the best stays of our trip in Scotland. We stayed only one night but really enjoyer the place, the room, the breakfast and above all the friendly and welcoming atmosphere provided by the owners. Go there without any hesitation!”

“My partner and I stayed at another ‘hotel’ in Newtonmore where the food was not enjoyable. We didn’t book but tried the Glen instead. We were fortunate enough to get a table for ourselves and 8 year old grandson. The service was wonderful and the quality of the food was excellent. We really enjoyed our meal. Only thing we didn’t like being a bit older was the music channel on TV. Overall the lady Yorkshire lass owner was friendly and attentive to all. Thoroughly recommend The Glen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Absolutely nothing to complain about. Husband and wife couple run this hotel, they are both very friendly, chatty and professional. I emailed ahead of time to get everything sorted and changed my mind a few times and nothing was an issue. My room was very nice, very clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast was also very good with plenty of options. If I was to come up to the area again I'd absolutely book here again.”

“We were staying up the road at a different hotel and our hotel food wasn't very good. So we decided to venture out and try to find something else. Luckily for us we found this absolutely gem. From the minute we walked in the gentleman serving us was very friendly. Plenty of choice on the menu. The food was fantastic and full of flavour. We left very happy.”

“Decent food. A bit cramped if full. Nice staff although the older lady needed to tone down her voice...we didn't need to know everyone else's choice of food.”

“Visited today 28 March whilst passing through the area. We received a very warm friendly welcome by a lovely lady who originated from Yorkshire. We chose home made soup. I had coconut and chicken which was fabulous and my friend had cream of vegetable which was amazing. Both were served hot, were plentifull and tasted delicious. We also had toasted cheese and onion sandwiches accompanied by a small side salad. To end we both chose biscoffi ice cream sundae. This lunch was so enjoyable and the hospitality was outstanding. The price was excellent. The Glen Hotel is definately worth visiting and you won't be disappointed. Many Thanks.”
