"Returned for our second New Year break. The staff continue to be excellent. The food continued at the high standard" The snow sprinkled on the tops of the mountains. The unparalleled views across Loch Leven. That’s just part of what makes a festive gathering at the Isles of Glencoe Hotel so special. The real stars though, are friends, family, drinks in hand and plenty of food to go around. Grab a board game, cosy blanket and open the wine. In the morning, enjoy the fresh air with your furry friend and head to the jetty for a family picture. One for the memory box!
