FESTIVE BREAKS
WELCOME
TO ISLES OF GLENCOE HOTEL
Dear Guest
A very warm welcome to the Isles of Glencoe Hotel.
“...let the dance begin, lock away the fine china and kick up the old stone floor. Where the train divides upon Lomondside, Hear the echo from forest to shore. Saling over deep water and dancing on air; If you close your eyes you will be there. Do you dream of a journey taking you back home, where the cry from the Heart of the Highlands lives on? ...”
Having just arrived after a long journey why not take the opportunity to relax in the lounge or you could work off your festive feastings in the leisure pool and sauna room.
From this point on we do all the work, all you have to do is enjoy the Christmas Festivities.
We’ve planned a variety of festive activities to ensure there’s something for everyone. Your enclosed Christmas programme will provide full details to help you make the most of your stay. Please don’t hesitate to contact a member of our teamif you need anything at all. We’re here to ensure your stay is just as you planned.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a truly memorable stay at the Isles of Glencoe Hotel.
Enjoy the festivities.
Ken Buchanan, General Manager
