Glenisla Hotel in Blairgowrie and Rattray: Photos and Reviews

The hotel offers ten en-suite guest rooms, each decorated with individual character and including family rooms with private bathrooms. Garden or mountain views are available from select rooms, and all rooms come with electric kettles and complimentary toiletries. Additional comforts include hypoallergenic bedding, blackout curtains, and a picnic area in the outdoor garden.

The on-site restaurant serves British and Scottish cuisine made with local ingredients, offering vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. A whisky and wine bar provides a selection of spirits, and the hotel regularly hosts steak nights and curry & quiz evenings. When the restaurant is closed (Monday and Tuesday), guests can purchase microwave-ready meals from an honesty box, and breakfast is a self-service setup with a basket of porridge, juice, and snack bars in the room plus cereals and toast downstairs.

The hotel sits directly on the Cateran Trail, a long-distance walking and cycling route, and is within a short drive of Glenshee Ski Centre for skiing and snowboarding. Nearby historical attractions include Glamis Castle (26 km), Scone Palace (48 km), and Blair Castle (49 km). The hotel also offers bicycle parking and packed lunches for guests heading out on day trips.

Guests can book high-quality, customizable spa treatments that are tailored to individual needs, available on request. The hotel also has a sun terrace and outdoor seating for relaxation after treatments. These spa services are provided in partnership with local therapists and require advance reservation.

The hotel welcomes families with children by offering designated play areas and board games and puzzles in the communal lounge. Pets are allowed free of charge, with pet bowls and dog blankets provided in the rooms. A fenced field adjacent to the hotel is available for campervans and tents, making it a base for family outdoor adventures.
