We stayed in the Gleneagle Hotel last week for two nights. Very enjoyable stay. Room was fantastic. We had great entertainment which made the nights - you didn't have to leave. The down side was there was no food available after 5pm in the bar so we had to go out to eat the first night. For such a big... More

We stayed in the Gleneagle Hotel again recently and we had a great stay. Lots of the rooms have been upgraded and are stylishly furnished and very comfortable. The food in the hotel is very good and not too expensive. There is always something going on here with entertainment to suit all tastes e.g., country dancing on a Saturday afternoon;... More

We stayed here in February for one night. The hotel is huge and dated. The staff on reception were pleasant but the staff in the restaurant were diabolical. We were advised to purchase a dinner voucher from reception, which we did. The choice on the menu was very limited. Three of us ordered the Camembert for starters. We got two... More

I stayed here with my four friends and was very much impressed by the great hospitality and services offered at this place. From the moment we stepped inside the premises we felt like being in our own home. Warm welcome at the reception by the lovely staff members in the late night hour's was amazing. Rooms were big, clean and... More

I'd stated in this hotel for the first time in 2001, 12 years later on return the reception area has been very tastefully upgraded and gives it a really nice and modern feel to the hotel. That's where it ends, the rooms are exactly the same, very late 90's style. Big clunky tv, far below standard ensuite and generally very... More
