Spittal Of Glenshee Hotel
Address: Spittal of Glenshee, Perthshire, PH10 7QF

Serviced Accommodation: Hotel

The Spittal of Glenshee is the site of one of the oldest Inns in the U.K. The site has been in continuous use since 961AD and has had a chequered history throughout the years. It is certainly at the highest altitude being just over 2,100 feet above sea level. The name 'Spittal' has originated from the Latin word 'hospitium' meaning 'Apartment for Strangers', or from the Gaelic 'spiddeal' which means 'where the glens meet'. Four glens meet at the 'Spittal'; Glenshee, Glenbeag, Glen Lochsie, Glen Taitneach. Close to Royal Deeside and set amidst magnificent scenery, the Spittal of Glenshee Hotel is the perfect base for all out door enthusiasts whether it be hill walking or winter sports (being 8 minutes from the Glenshee Ski Slopes and close enough to give the skiing and snow boarding at the Lecht or Aviemore a go). Horse riding, stalking, shooting, mountain biking and a hand gliding school are also all available in Glenshee. As a centre for touring, Glenshee has it all, from the majestic scenery of the Glens to Royal Deeside and the Cairngorm Mountains. The Spittal of Glenshee Hotel itself offers a high level of guest service with 52 bedrooms including 8 family rooms all en suite. A warm and welcoming bar with log fire awaits you and this is where many guests and visitors meet for a relaxing drink or excellent bar meal. Meals are available all day from 8am to 10pm. The hotel also has a Bunkhouse attached comprised of four separate rooms sleeping up to 20 people, with full ladies and gent's facilities. Well behaved dogs are welcome anywhere in the hotel except the restaurant. All and all an excellent choice for those who want to get away from it all and you can be certain of the friendly hospitality that you will receive at the Spittal of Glenshee Hotel.
