### Glenfinnan House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very traditional country house, in a beautiful location, this hotel remains pleasingly original and extremely welcoming. The General Manager is almost omnipresent and leads from the front; he appears unfailingly eager to help guests and to enquire as to whether there’s any little thing that could make a guest’s stay more pleasant. There’s no air conditioning, no corporate standardisation, no pool or gym, and no sprawling extensions of Airfix basic guest rooms. Instead, it’s a nearly three hundred year old house and home that now welcomes those who appreciate the history, the spacious comfort, the hospitality and the wonderful setting."
