Gleneagles Hotel

If there were 6 stars I would give 6. One of the best hotels I've stayed in worldwide. You wait for nothing, the staff are consistently friendly, helpful and not pushy. The facilities are first class.

Great overnight stay hard not to give the hotel 5 stars. We ate in the Domy House at night and the very best I would this would be 2.5. Given the menu more like an overpriced Indian restaurant. Like my curries but not in this setting.

This is a fantastic place matched by the staff. Nothing is too much trouble. They are all friendly and helpful and it's really evident they all love their jobs. I had a brilliant experience with the various outdoor activities, food and spa.

We went for a meal at Andrew Fairlies at Gleneagles, what can I say! The food was to die for, we chose the tasting menu putting our trust in the chef and he didn't disappoint. The service was THE best I've ever had, full silver service and full knowledge of the menu, both food and wine. Highly recommended

A classic top quality destination. Staff and service are second to none. There is much to do here and stay well fed, watered and entertained. You don't even need to be into golf to really enjoy this hotel.

Where do I start? It's an amazing experience, from start to finish. The service, attention to detail, food, everything is really another level when compared to other properties. The only hotel I have ever been to that is comparable is the breakers in Florida, and that is a huge compliment.

Stunning as ever. Immaculate grounds. Something for everyone, not just golf! Very lovely family feel in an amazing setting. Auchterarder is a really nice little town to visit too.

Spectacular stay. The grounds are stunning, the staff are amazing, the food is incredible. I was here as part of a large group and every detail was just perfect. What made it very special for me was the private jumping lesson, the riding teacher (my apologies I was so excited I didn't catch his name) was absolutely first class. He was amazing, he really pushed me and I've taken a lot away from the 45 minutes I spent with him!

He is a credit to the hotel and I will be booking in with him again 100% when I next visit. I need to start saving to come back so I can use the facilities over 2 days! There is so much to do. True luxury!

Went here on Sunday, what an amazing place so much to see and do, cater for a variety of people. Staff were amazing and went out of there way to help. Visited the restaurant had a scone with clotted cream and jam gosh it was nice and fresh. Would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Absolute perfection! There is not a single thing that I could improve if I tried. The staff were able to make us feel so welcome as soon as we arrived and nothing was too much trouble, with attention to detail at every opportunity. Both myself and my partner have stayed at some of the world's leading hotels, but we both agree, Gleneagles has our hearts, and will now become a yearly destination.

Took the time for the walk, wandered about the hotel and chatted with a staff member who was able to provide information about the golf courses - greens fee 275 for Kings ir Queens. May have Seniors on Pro course in 2022. You can walk around parts of the golf course. Pretty course and probably more challenging than one would think. If you hit straight - no hook or slice - and stay in the narrow fairways you will do quite well. Staff very friendly. Several bars and restaurants to choose from.

I really love this place, this the best place to be, ,, I just wish I could get opportunity to be, ,,, I can't even stop going through their photos, ,, I am in love, big up to everyone taking part in this sweet place

We weren't staying but friends had invited us for a birthday meal at The Strathearn. I ordered vegetarian main course, two tiny artichokes on a plate arrived, I was a bit embarrassed but decided not to complain but when I started to eat it, it was nearly cold. I complained then and it was replaced 10 minutes later, piping hot and twice the size!

Love it here! Such a beautiful place. I was here for one of my cousin's weddings. It was a lovely wedding and the best place to have it. It was my first time in Scotland. Only wish I could have stayed there forever. Gleneagles Hotel is the perdect place to stay or have an event like a wedding.

First visit and very impressed with the quality of everything and range of facilities. Our visit was simply an adhoc call for tea and scones. Scones appeared smaller than expectations but wow how tasty, service could not be faulted will definitely arrange a longer visit, probably including an overnight stay. Top hotel.

The hot stone massage by Kerry was amazing, thoroughly recommend it. Lunch was delicious I had the crab followed by the chicken. I was slightly disappointed that several points were not working - the overhead shower head and one of the Jacuzzi both found in the pool. Other than that I left so relaxed so thank you.

My mum and I visited for a spa day last week and it was absolutely fantastic. The overall experience from when we arrived at reception through to the end was first class. The spa was wonderful. I had the most amazing treatment from Emma! I also had dealings with a lady called Audrey who was so friendly and helpful throughout our whole time being there. Thank you Gleneagles - I can't wait to come back :

We stayed here for a wedding and it was just incredible. The attention to detail is unmatched and the decor is amazing - I did ask front of house for some stockists but, predictably, everything is made bespoke for Gleneagles. The service was absolutely impeccable - from the wedding dinner to the breakfast - I couldn't fault it at all. The food is delicious and perfectly prepared. The rooms are sumptuous and well appointed. Well worth the trip if you're treating yourself - it's a truly beautiful place to experience.

Stopped off for a light lunch on a day of visits to local tourist spots. Very impressed by staff, who were very welcoming and friendly. They provided exactly what we wanted, in a delightful way. The gentleman who organised valet parking for us (Ian Crawford) was delightful. A great visit and a great first impression of the hotel.

I have visited this property a couple of times and have found it to be excellent. The last time I stayed in the hotel and it was outstanding! The service and facility is awesome. The breakfast is amazing. The American bar is very cool and staff was great at explaining various scotches that we tasted. I played 2 of the 3 golf courses and found them in great condition and fun to play. They have more activities than golf but that was my focus for the trip. Look forward to my next opportunity to visit and try spa etc.

Falconry is amazing. Stuart, our guide, went above and beyond to teach us about the birds and welcome us into the world of this phenomenal, fascinating antiquated sport. Highly recommend him for half day hunt. Thank you for making our stay at Gleneagles that much better!

Spent a lovely afternoon here in may for a birthday treat. We had afternoon tea in the Resturant as the bar area and the hotel in general seems to be going through a refurb which didn't impact on our day at all. Firstly we were greeted by the lovely doorman and in the Resturant the staff were more than accommodating and polite and friendly. The food itself was very tasty and faultless apart from the scones, we were only offered one out of a basket and the description of the different varieties sounded tastier than the scone did itself however the jam and lemon curd made them a little tastier.

I wouldn't let this put me off returning for afternoon tea in the future. Must mention the variety of teas available! I lost count of the amount of pots of tea we had as well as the chilled bottle of Moet!

This is a review of Deseo and not Gleneagles Hotel in general. Had lunch in Deseo today and a) the food took 55 mins to arrive from ordering and b) was pretty poor quality. No apology re length of time; my nephew had to leave before it arrived as he had been booked in to a football activity. We had asked if they could bring out his chicken and chips from kiddy menu after 40 mins but it still failed to materialise in time.

We saw our pizzas sitting under heat lamp for a good 25 mins.! No wonder it was dry! Strathearn next time! We've eaten in Strathearn before and it is head and shoulders above Deseo! Live and learn.

Who goes to Gleneagles? Apart from the hoards of golfers, it's a surprising guest list from loved up couples to girlie weekend spa-breaks, well-to-do families to Farmfoods plastic bag carriers. And throw in a few Americans, Japanese, Chinese and the odd Celeb and there you go. There's buckets to do. Country pursuits may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's loads more on offer and too many to mention.

My favs were the falconry and leisure pool followed by a lovely walk to the 19th hole, via the mini-mall and whisky bar of course. And let's not forget the eating! The service is immaculate and friendly, from the kilted doormen who'll joke about his poor golf swing to the bar staff who will give you the history of most brands of whisky. The rooms are fantastic and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade to an apartment sized Whisky suite - perfect! There's even a mini-mall where you can buy everything 'country'. Crickey!

The food and drink are the main event. Virtually every whim and fancy, any time of day or night, is catered for. Breakfast (my fav) was orgasmic. From Arbroath smokies, top of the range sausages, to an omelette station via waffles and pancakes. Evening choices range from darkly glamorous, two-Michelin-starred eating in Andrew Fairlie's restaurant to swanky French-Scottish dining in the Strathearn. There's also the Mediterranean-style all-day Deseo (good for children).

But that's not all. To fill in the gaps, there are sumptuous afternoon teas (2nd fav) that will fill you to the gunnels, home-made cakes in Braid's Coffee Lounge or classic bar food in the Dormy Clubhouse. Christ, I'm stuffed! My advice? Bring a fat wallet and some slack trousers.

This place blew me away! I would give it 20* if possible. The minute we arrived we were greeted with exceptional service and then we got to our room and our jaws hit the floor. Gorgeous. We went for a nice swim in all 3 pools but the outdoor pool at night was breathtaking and very relaxing with all of the powerful jets. The restaurant was incredible and the beef risotto I had was just perfect. Breakfast is not to be missed. The only awful thing about Gleneagles was leaving. We both wanted to stay forever:-))

I had a great time at Gleneagles on our tour of Scotland (Glasgow, Gleneagles, and Edinburgh)! On the first night, we dined at Andrew Fairlie (which has its own review by the way). During the day on our one full day, we relaxed by the pool. The pool is gorgeous. There is also a lap pool and an outdoor heated pool. The outdoor pool is almost like an outdoor hot tub.

The indoor hot tub seemed to be broken as we couldn't get any bubbles out of it. The other half also enjoyed the steam room. The rooms are gorgeous as well. The beds are super comfy, and there are gorgeous old style bathtubs in the bathroom. I enjoyed a bath myself one of those days. They keep you well stocked with complimentary water and chocolate oaties.

They also turned down the room at the end of the night so when you came back from your evening out the bed was ready for you to crawl into and drift off to sleep. The second night started with a whisky tasting at the bar followed by a few cocktails. We then had dinner at Deseo and came back for more drinks! Andy the bartender was so much fun and a genius with cocktails.

He made stuff for the other half using fun molecular gastronomy techniques (smoked drinks anyone), and let us try some of his magnificent lime infused rum. The only downside of the place was eating at Deseo. The food was just lacking. We went with tapas. They were all fairly average except for the lamb kidneys (which were out of this world). The bread was also tasty.

The mussels were fishy and we just couldn't eat them. The risotto was too thick and cloying (don't people know risotto should be oozy, not thick and pasty?). They seemed to be out of every wine on the menu that we tried to order. The desserts were subpar. I ordered cannoli. What I received where white chocolate shells filled with flavored cream. That's not cannoli.

It just isn't. I wanted pastry dammit. The other half's chocolate pot was way too bitter for me. He enjoyed it (which is surprising because I'm usually the fan of bitter chocolate), and said you needed to eat it with more of the cream. Maybe they do a better job with the steaks. I'm kind of doubtful though given that almost everything else we ate was just kind of average. I expected more from a restaurant in a high quality hotel. Would it deter me from coming back? Not at all!

Now then. This is what you call a Hotel. (Or even An'Otel) We were here for a wedding of a very dear friend. Wisely she left marriage late, as this meant that her poor old father had had the extra 20 years required to save up for the nuptial fund! Quite apart from the fact that Gleneagles is the home of Golf, it is also a pretty incredible spa hotel as well as a really great place to stay. An hour drive from Glasgow or Edinburg airport its really easy to get to, although not fantastically well signposted.

So our experience of Gleneagles was 20 hours in utter luxury. From the private checkin, to the huge room overlooking the grounds at the rear of the main house (see the photos above), deserted TV room with massive flat screen TV to watch Olympic rowing and cycling, then pre wedding bar snacks, post wedding drinks then a brilliant evening of Cheers and Tears with friends and family new and old.

Then a very late night/early morning in the bar (ouch!), nowehere near enough shut eye, then good scottish breakfast before rushing out for a lunchtime flight. Nothing was too much effort, loads of staff everywhere with a smile and a nod, sorted a broken room key and the wrong room layout in a jiffy, located a missing item after checkout and forwarded it free of charge to us in Germany (it arrived before we did) So I didn't play Golf, nor do the spa, or shooting, or off road driving, or archery or falconing, or eat in the Michelin starred restaurant (however I did drunkenly burst in there in there while seeking the mens room from the ballroom next door!) or the art class or massage or just walk around the grounds.

So I will save that for the next time. I've been staying in hotels half my week for the last 10 years. My world favourite is Villa Del Sogno in Lake Garda, followed by Grand Hotel Rimini, but I have to say my experience at Gleneagles was not far off these two for enjoyment, service and sheer luxury plus unlike the two Italian places it really doesn't matter if the sun shines or not! So really, Gleneagles lives up to it's rep as one of the World's great hotels. Yes, it costs quite a bit to stay there but really it's worth every penny.

The Gleneagles Hotel is a magnificent 'French chateau' set amid gently rolling hills in the heart of Scotland. Established in 1924, the hotel was soon acclaimed 'the palace in the glens' and continues to attract those in search of rest, relaxation and exhilaration. SPORTS Outdoors, Gleneagles makes the most of its 850 acres: shooting, archery, fishing, dog hunting school, falconry, off-road driving and horse riding, as well as swimming in The Club's two indoor pools. Clay shooting was so much fun.

The instructor was patient and provided hints on how to best follow the aim sight line. I did OK getting half of the hits. Be sure to wear the padding for the kick back to your shoulder. Archery was another fun sport. Can you tell I like to aim at things?!?! I hit one bulls eye! Falconry was amazing. The birds are so well trained that you feel at ease immediately.

Pick a glove and stand parallel to the wooden stumps. The instructor will place the bird on your glove, gently swing your hand outwards and the bird will fly to the wooden stump. The instructor will then place a small bit of food on your glove - extend your arm, and the bird will fly back to you. Dogs school. So cute! The dogs are keen and have amazing hunting skills.

They also sit still waiting for your order, then you toss the rubber duck, give the command to fetch, and the dogs will pounce and return with the catch. GOLF Three championship golf courses are among the very best in the world; The King's, The Queen's and The PGA Centenary. The practice green were just as nice. You can pitch and putt your swing into the evening, the sun didn't set until 9pm.

Be sure to get a cart, those rolling hills are no joke. You will be sore if you carry your bags all day. SPA ESPA Life Spa was heavenly. I lost track of time and spent almost 4 hours without a care in the world. The waiting area is calm with a huge natural light oasis. The massage treatment was customized to fit your needs and you can pick from an array of scents.

I melted away on the table. Afterwards, I entered the lounge where I snacked of fruit and tea. I also may have fallen asleep. Next I tried out everything else the spa had to offer - the steam room (where you can also select your scent) to the cold rainshower blast (with glowing lights changing with the water temp) to the jet pool and swan jet stream (the force of the water can move you off your feet). DINING Several restaurant to select from and you can find just about anything you desire.

Being in Scotland, I had smoked salmon as much as possible and it was so good! Even a simple sandwich is a dance in your mouth. Overall the grounds at the hotel is the most stunning part -- the views here are picture perfect and the postcards really do come to life. Rolling green hills surround you and there is nothing like it in the world. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

This place is the creme of the creme if you want to be treated well. It is like being at home and being a royal at the same time with people at the door in kilts greeting you. People who work here become your friends and always remember you. It is out in the middle of no where in the beautiful Glens of Scotland not far from the Sterling Castle. Has golfing, clay shooting ranges, can go off roading with range rovers, can fly hawks and hunt with them, or with dogs.

It had a wonderful spa. Nice restaurants, awesome breakfast buffet. world class food. awesome pool so much stuff to do here so little time to not do anything and relax but its ok cause its a great experience. How can people not feel like a million dollars here? If I was to rate the place it would be alot higher then 5 stars. Ill be back.

Beautiful resort, grounds, activity center and all. The staff here was amazing. I'd like to come back for more than just a visit. Today I visited the amazing indoor arena for my nieces riding lesson, the lobby & the cafe. All were top notch. They also have tennis courts on their beautiful grounds.

The Gleneagles hotel in Perthshire is a 5 star resort which is made famous by having three of Scotland's top championship golf courses. The hotel itself sits proud and grand amongst huge green trees and it hard not to be a little awestruck by its huge presence when you first set eyes on it. When you enter the marble pillared reception with its dark wood and ornate floors and ceiling the image of grandeur is impressed even further upon you.

The most basic rooms available at the hotel are as impressive as some of the most expensive suites at many luxury hotels. The rooms all vary in style from modern to more traditional but they all have excellent views and are decorated in vibrate yet calming colours. Unfortunately I was not lucky enough to stay in one of the suites but when I booked my room online I had a look at the photos of th and they look impressive.

The award winning Spirit Suite in particular looks gorgeous. The Gleneagles Hotel has 4 fantastic restaurants and 1 bar which also sells light lunches and afternoon tea. The Strathearn serves the finest cuisine Scotland has to offer such as Scottish pigeon and Highland venison. Deseo is more informal and serves Mediterranean dishes and has a tapas menu.

The Dormy Clubhouse sells good old pub grub style meals such as sausage and mash and steak and mushroom pie. Finally, the Andrew Fairlie restaurant is a Michelin star restaurant serving stunning French classics with a Scottish twist. The resort has a hair and dental salon, a fantastic playroom for young kids and "the zone" for older kids which has table football, computer games and arcade games and for adults there's the unbelievably gorgeous ESPA spa.

As well as golf there are a number of other excellent activities on offer such as falconry, equestrianism and off road 4x4 driving! As you would expect a stay at The Gleneagles resort is not cheap but if you ever have some money to burn and fancy a few nights away from it all you'll be hard pushed to find anywhere better in Scotland. There is so much on offer that it can cater to romantic weekends, family holidays or girly spa getaways.
