Your stay at Glenegedale House begins with a true Islay welcome.
After being shown around so that you can get your bearings, we will take you to your room where you can unpack and settle in
As part of the booking process we ask you arrival time to ensure we are here to welcome you. Providing we know your arrival time and you are arriving before 5pm there will be an offer of tea or coffee on arrival with some home baking. Should you arrive after this time you are welcome to choose a drink from the extensive drinks menu which specialises on Scottish gins and Islay malts.
During your stay here at Glenegedale House, you will often catch the warming aroma of Emma’s freshly baked cakes, bread and muffins. We both have a real passion for making the most amazing freshly baked treats for our guests to enjoy at every occasion.
We use only the finest Scottish ingredients from small artisan producers.
We never compromise on quality at Glenegedale House and focus on sourcing the finest of Scotland’s larder. Our breakfast includes sausages from our local butcher, Alasdair Porter, Ramsay of Carluke’s hand reared, rare breed smoked back bacon, award-winning haggis and black pudding, and our own free range hen eggs from our happy hens that live at the rear of the house
Let us know if you’d like to see the hens that lay our delicious eggs and I’m sure we can arrange for you to meet the ladies themselves.
Another breakfast favourite is our large selection of delicately poached fruits; poached using fresh fruit and our own recipes. However, don’t forget to leave room for our famous porridge – done the Glenegedale Way.
A Scottish breakfast wouldn’t be the same without some smoked salmon. We source ours from the fabulous Argyll Smokery in Dunoon. It’s a small ethical smokehouse which hand smokes all their fish over reclaimed whisky barrel shavings. And we would definitely agree with them when they say that they “Simply improve on nature itself…”
Evenings at Glenegedale House are definitely a culinary highlight.
