Dogs not allowed in restaurant but they are allowed in the bar so not really a problem but would have been nice to sit in the restaurant with dog as restaurant was brighter.

Very helpful friendly staff

We had a dog barking outside for most of the night, until around 4.30am

Lovely views and nice quiet area.

The room was a bit small (for two) but in keeping with the property, so no suprise

sink in my room was very small and made it difficult to do simple things. The room I booked for my brother mentioned a king size bed and it was not. His room was nice but not what we expected.

Breakfast and dinners were lovely, and the setting of the inn is just beautiful. Staff was helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much.

The road to drive there is not great, but just take your time and it will be fine.

The location is amazing and the scenery is incredible. The rooms were very nice and spacious. Both the restaurant and the breakfast was good.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Somewhere to park my motorbike out the way from the road. Would recommend for bikers needing a place to stay whilst travelling. Lovely atmosphere and breakfast

Communication can be improved. Glen Clova is in a poor signal area for Wi-Fi. I could only communicate with my family via WhatsApp and email. My room (Dreish) did not have a landline telephone. My mobile has Wi-Fi assist but not Wi-Fi Calling which the staff use. Also on 7/9/2024 I was attending the Braemar Games which is a 2 hour drive from the hotel. I had booked myself in for dinner but the staff had said to ring the hotel if I wasn’t going to be back in time. I rang the hotel several times and nobody answered! The hotel was fully booked for dinner that evening including my table but the staff were too busy to answer the telephone! Also I didn’t realise when booking through booking.com that my hotel booking did not include breakfast. Something to consider! Also don’t book the Mayer room in the steadying, the room looks out onto containers for the laundry! I didn’t accept that room luckily the Dreish room was available all week. It was in the steading with a view of trees and a glimpse of the mountains in the background.

Excellent breakfast. Excellent location if you want to be in the middle of nowhere. Half hour drive to Kirriemuir the nearest town. Excellent evening meals.

The location is perfect for the stunning hike up to Loch Brandy: you'll find the track a minute or two behind the hotel! The staff were super friendly and helpful with everything, and went out of their way to accommodate my gluten free diet.

Just two minor comments: 1. The hydro-electric system was a bit loud from our room - we were expecting a quiet haven in nature. (But it was simply noticeable, definitely not offensive!) 2. Someone came and cleaned our windows (outside) while we were still in the room in the morning which was a bit of a surprise - I'd suggest they leave this job for after checkout time!

We stayed in the modern and warm complex of steading rooms - facilities were great and room had an outlook into the woods. The restaurant/bar was lovely and welcoming. Staff were very helpful in rectifying a small glitch in our payment. Superb location as a base for walks in the glens.

Not much wrong - It was August and our steading room was a bit warm - the window is round a corner and didn't open very wide. Not a major issue really! If booking again I would ask for room in the hotel.

Beautiful location and ideal for those wanting to experience walking in the Angus Glens. Very helpful staff and attractive accommodation.

The only thing I didn’t like was that there was a small wall mounted TV in the bar blaring out music on my first night. I found it quite irritating but had my iPad and headphones anyway. The next evening the music was switched off which was brilliant.

A great location although do be aware that you really are in the middle of nowhere. I went to Forfar beforehand to get some fruit and snacks for my walks etc. Pretty much everything else was just wonderful. I loved the peace and quiet in my steading room and all of the staff were excellent.
