“stunning scottish highland retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

The Glenmorangie house certainly lives up to expectation! The most suprising feature of the accomodation is the stunning surrounding areas - you can walk onto low rising cliffs and a beach within minutes of the accomodation.

We were provided delicious caramel shortbread for afternoon tea.

In the evening all guests eat together so your enjoyment may be impacted by the other guests staying at the same time as you. With that said the food was lovely and the drinks reasonably priced.

The staff were most helpful.

“pure indulgence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2010

person found this review helpful

We arrived here on the 7th day of our 13-day driving trip around Scotland. We loved this peninsula. Something magical about it. The thing I like about Scotland is no one is in a hurry to throw away old things or old ways just because they're old. There are Pictish relics to discover here. This peninsula is a place where you travel on single track roads, through blooming fields of rapeseed, all the while overlooking the water not far away. Just makes you feel good being there. When we pulled up to the Glenmorangie House for the first time, we were thrilled to find it was in such a superb location. The manager and staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. We enjoyed a walk down to the beach, and explored the walled gardens, and marvelled at the abandoned castle on the premises. Dining was elegant, yet casual. It was nice being able to socialize with other guests as we enjoyed canapes, dinner, and drinks. They bring people together on purpose and it's always an interesting and enjoyable time. We only spent one night here and moved on to see more of Scotland over the next 6 days, but this is one of the best, most memorable, places we stayed on the entire trip. It ties with the Ullinish Country Lodge on Skye for superb hosts and staff, service, comfort, dining, and location.

“First class in the Valley of Tranquility”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2010

Everything about Glenmorangie House is first rate. This is our second visit to GH and although the manager has changed from our last visit, he is still first rate. Our meals were excellent and innovative. The accomodations are country elegant and very comfortable. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Everything is provided for a very relaxing stay in the Scottish Highlands, all the way down to providing coat and wellies for a stroll along the beach. Nothing has been forgotten. Everyone at GH made it very easy to leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind.

“Perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2010

We went for a whisky weekend and could not have had a better experience. The staff went well above and beyond what was expected. They were polite, professional, and most importantly, fun. The house was immaculate and the views were breathtaking. The food was extraordinary. The Arbeg flavored bread was to die for.

The high point of the weekend was a five course traditional Scottish dinner, complete with bag pipes and dancers. They made a vegetarian meal to accomodate my diet and it was phenominal.

We could not have asked for a better weekend. Thank you to Martin, Peter, Emily, David, and the entire staff

“Luxury has a cost”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2009

We arrived just in time to be ready for diner. We had a very nice company for our stay and everyone (including staff) was very kind. Diner was fine and room was good, bathroom was new and roomy. Martin was very friendly and he knows how to host guest. The location is very calm and walking around was a pleasure. Distillery visit was also good.

I am surprised that a luxury guest house does not provide internet. (they do send and receive email for their business, just nothing for guest). It was the only place in our Scotland trip without internet access and the most expansive. They said it was broken for 2 days and did not try to provide a solution.

LVMH is in the luxury business and with it come the luxury price. They do have drinks available but you have to pay (premium) for it, including diner wine. Prices could be lot smoother as it is their own product they are serving. (25GBP for a glass of Signet when the bottle is for sell at 100GBP, nectar d'or at 9GBP when the bottle is available for 43GBP. )

Also if you visit the distillery and like the whisky they do, do not buy at the shop. You can find better price around, check the internet...what? it is not working? Sorry...
