We stayed here for 4 nights last week. Don't be put off with the 'Butlins' look of the hotel, it is better than it looks. We had a room at the back, which had a small balcony, with a view out to the sea. I must say I did enjoy sitting out there in the early morning when the 'Sun'... More

Dear Pete-on-7 Thank you very much for your recent review. May i start by saying Best Western Hotel Gleneagles does not have the Butlins factor. Understandably the Hotel does need a lick of paint but im sure there of thousand of Hotels in the same position around the country. I do 100% agree the views from the rear of the... More

A few people had sort of turned up their noses when we'd said we planned to honeymoon in Torquay. But for us this was a trip we'd planned to make for some time. Both avid Fawlty Towers fans to the point that we can recite entire episodes, the heritage of the town and particular of the Gleneagles wasn't lost on... More

My husband and I got married on the 25th May and held our reception at the Gleneagles Hotel. Well, where do I start? Our day was absolutely perfect and we enjoyed every second- all the staff at the hotel enabled this to happen!

We stayed there for three nights and were quite happy with it. Our room was nicely decorated with a great view of the sea, and staff are very friendly and helpful. It was overall nice and quiet, but I think that was due to there not beeing too many guests. On our last day people moved into the neighbouring room... More
