Beautiful room with a view over the loch. Great bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. This stay was a touch of luxury in so many ways.
The hosts were fabulous. I was travelling with my mum and Trevor responded to questions fast and in detail, providing a ground floor room on request and info about taxis and eating places. A great place to know about and we will definitely return.
After a long travel day arriving at Glentower to a warm welcome from Graham was a highlight. An absolutely beautiful property, spacious and comfortable rooms, charming host, a view of the lough, easy walk to town. A perfect stay
