Glenapp is immediately welcoming, grand but unstuffy with beautiful grounds and attentive staff. It’s a quietly confident hotel with rich furnishings and stunning flowers throughout. The owner and General Manager were visible and genuinely interested in their guests, never too busy to chat and offering suggestions for walks and activities. As expected, the food was fabulous and unhurried. A special mention for the breakfasts - absolutely delicious! We had a magnificent suite looking out over the grounds to Ailsa Craig and loved the daily tray of tea that was brought to our room, free of charge, the tastiest tea we have had in years! As we packed to leave, relaxed and content, we noted that the magic ingredient for an already magical hotel, is the people that work there. So many have personal attachment and a history with Glenapp and there’s love running through the hotel and grounds. We met who we think is the Head Gardener and we mentioned how sad it was that so many trees had been impacted by the recent storm. She agreed but told us of her 20 year history with these gardens and how it provided an opportunity for careful re-planting and growth. That’s definitely a glass half full way to look at a challenge. When we were leaving, another guest asked how the General Manager was. ‘Blessed beyond words’ was his response! How uplifting! As we spotted our first brave daffodil of the year at nearby Culzean Castle on our way home , we couldn’t have agreed more. A really lovely stay, thankyou to everyone at Glenapp
Excellent
