Food is top notch! We had a meal here on Thursday 15th Feb 24. Last minute booking. Lovely cosy, warm welcome and dog friendly. Lovely staff and compliments to the chef. A varied menu so wasn?t sure how they?d manage to get such good food served but they did. I forgot to take photos but I promise it was delicious!Food & drinks: Great selection.Noteworthy details: Dog friendly!!

Visited on the recommendation of our B&B (Strathardle Lodge). The service from the Dundee lass with the English accent was exceptional. She made us feel very welcome & nothing was a bother. The food was really good too & at very reasonable prices. Thoroughly recommended!

WONDERFUL. We stayed 5 nights (3 generations and a dog!) and ate in all the 3 nights the restarant/bar was open (it's not open Mon and Tue, which we knew before our visit, and although we chose to eat out, appreciated that there were in-house options if needed). Exceptional food, really warm welcome, comfy beds, felt very at home but also very well looked after. Perfect WiFi (I don't know why, but I didn't expect that). Loved the live music too! What a location - walking locally was beautiful and we enjoyed loads of trips out nearby as well.To have such a high quality and range of veggie options is amazing, there was something for everyone in our group of 5, age range 9-79, brilliant value too.Every staff member was lovely, as were the regulars and locals. We did our own thing mostly but thoroughly appreciated the kindness and welcome.Last but not least, our (slightly annoying, but everyone was so kind) dog was also SO welcome - we've not known anywhere like it for that!Thanks to Isobel and Bryan, staff, and bar/restaurant team for making it such an enjoyable family time away. It's a long way from us but we do hope to return!Food & drinks: Amazing, something for everyone, first class food and service but excellent value. I wish we'd taken some pictures now but we were too busy enjoying!Noteworthy details: Dogs are actively welcome! As are people ?.

I recently did the Cataran trail with my border collie 1 year old Jojo. We stayed at the Glen Isla hotel for one of our nights on the trip. Sally and indeed all the staff were fabulous. Food was delicious and my room lovely. Nothing was too much trouble even down to trying to remove a tick that I'd collected on the trail. A superb hotel with superb staff. I can't thank them enough. Jojo had the time of his life too. This is how a hotel should operate. We will be back soon. Thanks, Martin and Jojo.

Easy 5/5.We went to Hilton the day before and wished we would have had the same the same level of comfort and quality food as we had here. You absolutely won't regret staying a night.

We didn?t stay in the hotel (although we definitely plan to now!), but the restaurant was highly recommended by Dalmunzie Castle Hotel nearby - and for good reason!! Fantastic atmosphere, vibrant waiter/MC/all-round entertainer in Dexter, melt-in-the-mouth food (can HIGHLY recommend the venison) and live music set which lasted three hours on a Wednesday evening, but could have gone for longer. A real gem of a place, with friendly, warm and hospitable people.

An oasis on an extremely wet day walking the Cateran Trail. The hotel was closed for food, but an extremely friendly host invited us inside to take shelter from the inclement weather and also gave us access to tea and coffee(honesty donation). It was a great morale boost to our otherwise sodden day, and we were extremely grateful for that hospitality. It?s not many places that will allow 4 very wet, weary walkers inside.Walkability: Right on the Cateran TrailNoteworthy details: Extremely hospitable and welcoming host.

Very welcoming hotel and staff. Myself and 3 friends were walking the Cateran Trail on a very wet Monday and were looking for somewhere to take shelter for lunch. We knew the hotel kitchen was closed that day, but a member of staff allowed us to take shelter inside, despite our very wet status, and showed us where we could get some tea and coffee for a donation. It was very much appreciated on such a foul day, and I?m sure other places would not be so welcoming! Had a we glimpse at the food e, nu and it looked good.

We had literally the warmest welcome at The Glenisla Hotel that we have had anywhere. Wonderful people - please come and stay and support a lovely business. Very good chef and delicious food BTW.

10/10 place to stay. Arrived and the keys/room were ready. Perfect room with all needed necessities was ready. Fully welcoming for us both and our 3 dogs, even sorted us a table in the bar despite it being the end of the service. Got the opportunity to partake in the quiz which was a great night.
