    The flat white challenge goes 5 star
    Jurgen D.

    Wowser this place is incredible it has to be said. I took my lady here for her birthday weekend, they do great deals on Sunday nights bed and breakfast with two spa treatments. We arrived about 2:30pm got checked in, having been picked up at the train station we didn't see out bags again till we got to our room. We then got into out swimwear got our dressing gowns on and headed to he pool, so cool - sauna, steam, pool, outdoor pool just ace fun. Does life get any better than this. After the best hotel shower since hotel du vin we got ready and went for dinner in Deseo. Service was ok, we were asked what we wanted to drink without being shown a drinks list. For dinner we shared some lovely tapas for starters, I ordered tuna for main, I asked for it pink it came overdone, I sent it back, it came back better but not brilliant. We had a cracking cheese board and as a surprise they brought out a cake and candle for Steph. Nice touch. After that we had cocktails in the bar, great service in there and great drinks. I ha a robroy, classy :)! Our bed and the reason why they get 2 stars was a disaster, in this level of hotel you expect the best, what we had was 2 single beds pushed together, the staff didn't deal with it and at breakfast a rather rude guest relations manager told me I was wrong and that it wasn't two beds, I corrected her and then showed her, fair to say she was embarrassed, they did then say the bill would be corrected. Breakfast was amazing, it's a buffet but like no other. An egg station with poached duck eggs.......caviar.......smoked salmon, truffle scrambled eggs.....cheese, croissants.....everything......! Heaven! I then sent Steph off to have her spa treatments which she loved :) when we checked out no deduction was made from the bill......I asked for one and they gave me £50 off which I didn't think was appropriate, so they made it £100. Better but really for me the experience was already tainted. I will go back but it will take some time!

    Beautiful fresh pink gerbera.

    I was en route up to Inverness for Easter and we popped into Glenegales as a wee treat for my aunts 60th. What a beautiful place. Such a grand entrance, with fresh flowers everywhere you looked. The staff were extremely attentive and welcoming. We were seated in the main dining area, as the bar area (where afternoon tea is normally situated) is currently under refurbishment. This was a stunning room. The atmosphere in the elegant Art Deco surroundings is one of luxury and opulence. It is stylishly reminiscent of the roaring twenties. There was also a the pianist in the corner of the room playing variety of pieces, my favourite was the Disney medley!! We initially opted for a bottle of Prosecco, followed by the traditional afternoon tea. There are a vast array of teas to choose from, however I always think English breakfast complements it perfectly. The afternoon tea came in 3 separate tiers. Top tear had a selection of tiny hot treats. Quiches, ham and wholegrain mustard pastry roulette, mini pork sausage roll, and a small sub roll with perfectly cooked beef and pesto. Tier 2's sandwich selection was top quality. Use of different breads complemented each filling. These included cheese and pickle, light coronation chicken, egg mayo and micro cress, cream cheese choux pastry balls, salmon bellini's with a gorgeous edible pansy, so pretty and yummy! Tier 3 had an amazing selection of petite pastries - custard slice, raspberry chocolate muffin, lemon tart, chocolate eclair, rhubarb jelly with meringue on top, etc. These were just heavenly, the variety of subtle flavours and textures was a complete delight. Finally not to forget the warm freshly baked fruit and plain scones, served with strawberry jam, clotted cream and lemon curd. Delicious! The tea was constantly flowing, and served by friendly helpful staff, that made the whole experience special. This was a very pleasurable experience, and beyond compare to afternoon teas I have experienced in the past. I would definitely recommend to have a light/ non existent breakfast prior to attending so you can fully indulge!

    There is no doubt that staying at Gleneagels is an amazing experience! I recently stayed there partly private but also officially as a tour operator Sassenachs Tours. One definite rule of thumb is to arrive in a classy and expensive car. Actually, the bigger the better. Everything else gets kind of noticed The interior of the hotel is smart chic and there are lots of facilities to use. There are several restaurants and bars, as well as coffee places. I tasted a few coffees and teas in the building and they were all well made. You will find your own shopping street with shops and a flower table. The hotel is bigger than it looks when you first arrive. There must be over 100 rooms, which range from regular & executive to suites with fantastic views towards the Perthshire countryside. In regard to activities there are plenty to choose from, like carriage ride, 4x4 range rover, riding at the equestrian centre, spa and gym, tennis, golf, hunting dogs, cycling, swimming pool and much more. The rooms and hotel are clean and the staff very friendly and accomodating. I really enjoyed drinking my coffee in the century bar and watching the world go by. Why only 4 stars? I had some issues with the room service on occasion (asking for toilet paper?!?!) and needed to ask to have the toilet seat fixed, but overall this was ok. Also, there was an incident in the breakfast room Strathearn , whereby I thought that the personell was not very accomodating when it comes to seating requests. Also guests were treated differently. For example one was ask to take their hat off before entering the room and others could leave their hats on. This was a bit strange. Anyway, overall this was a very pleasant​ stay. I especially liked the welcoming committee dressed in their kilts. I will be back. xx

    I absolutely love everything about this hotel! It's an expensive visit, whether you are there for food, an overnight stay or a day spa visit but for me it's definitely a case of you get what you pay for. The hotel is set in large, beautiful grounds and has 3 adjoining golf courses and is hosting the Ryder Cup this September which tells you how good the golf is! There are lots of activities you can do here including gun dog training, horse riding etc. This review is for a recent spa day I had at the hotel's Espa spa. Now firstly my spa day cost £155 so at the top end of the scale for a day of pampering but honestly the whole experience was perfection. This price included two specially tailored pregnancy treatments (a 55min body treatment and a 55min facial) and a two course lunch. You arrive at the spa and are shown round by one of the lovely staff, you get a giant locker with your robe, slippers, towels etc. and the show you round the different areas of the spa. There are saunas, steam rooms, tropical showers (where the water is scented!) and the loveliest relaxation room ever. Adjustable beds with giant pillows and fluffy throws, with snacks and refreshments on tap. It's difficult not to doze off in there! My treatments were excellent. The therapist listens to any skin / body concerns you may have and incorporates the correct oils / products in to your treatment. You still get to chose by doing a few smell tests which ones you'd like, which is nice. Lunch was delicious. Some of the best food I've eaten! I was so impressed that I'll be writing a full review on the blog soon :)

    Now then. This is what you call a Hotel. (Or even An'Otel) We were here for a wedding of a very dear friend. Wisely she left marriage late, as this meant that her poor old father had had the extra 20 years required to save up for the nuptial fund! Quite apart from the fact that Gleneagles is the home of Golf, it is also a pretty incredible spa hotel as well as a really great place to stay. An hour drive from Glasgow or Edinburg airport its really easy to get to, although not fantastically well signposted. So our experience of Gleneagles was 20 hours in utter luxury. From the private checkin, to the huge room overlooking the grounds at the rear of the main house (see the photos above), deserted TV room with massive flat screen TV to watch Olympic rowing and cycling, then pre wedding bar snacks, post wedding drinks then a brilliant evening of Cheers and Tears with friends and family new and old. Then a very late night/early morning in the bar (£££££££ouch!!!!!) , nowehere near enough shut eye, then good scottish breakfast before rushing out for a lunchtime flight. Nothing was too much effort, loads of staff everywhere with a smile and a nod, sorted a broken room key and the wrong room layout in a jiffy, located a missing item after checkout and forwarded it free of charge to us in Germany (it arrived before we did) So I didn't play Golf, nor do the spa, or shooting, or off road driving, or archery or falconing, or eat in the Michelin starred restaurant (however I did drunkenly burst in there in there while seeking the mens room from the ballroom next door!) or the art class or massage or just walk around the grounds. So I will save that for the next time.. I've been staying in hotels half my week for the last 10 years. My world favourite is Villa Del Sogno in Lake Garda, followed by Grand Hotel Rimini, but I have to say my experience at Gleneagles was not far off these two for enjoyment, service and sheer luxury plus unlike the two Italian places it really doesn't matter if the sun shines or not!! So really, Gleneagles lives up to it's rep as one of the World's great hotels. Yes, it costs quite a bit to stay there but really it's worth every penny.

    Yum!

    Spent a lovely afternoon here in may for a birthday treat. We had afternoon tea in the Resturant as the bar area and the hotel in general seems to be going through a refurb which didn't impact on our day at all. Firstly we were greeted by the lovely doorman and in the Resturant the staff were more than accommodating and polite and friendly. The food itself was very tasty and faultless apart from the scones, we were only offered one out of a basket and the description of the different varieties sounded tastier than the scone did itself however the jam and lemon curd made them a little tastier. I wouldn't let this put me off returning for afternoon tea in the future. Must mention the variety of teas available! I lost count of the amount of pots of tea we had as well as the chilled bottle of Moët!

    Gleneagles, my Motherland!

    See all
