We’ve loved a few totally different stays at Glenlaurel, A Scottish Inn & Cottages through the years and have at all times had a pleasant time. The Scottish-themed getaway is tucked right into a rolling property in Rockbridge, Ohio, proper close to Hocking Hills State Park, and there they characteristic a full restaurant, cozy cottages with sizzling tubs, a ravine for exploring, and even an eight-hole golf course.
Glenlaurel options a mixture of cottages, crofts, visitor rooms, and suites in the primary home.
The Scottish theme performs out all through all of the rooms.
Every cottage and croft incorporates a non-public deck with sizzling tub.
Behind the property is a small ravine with trails operating by it. There are a couple of benches and different informal seating areas all through.
One of many huge delights of staying at Glenlaurel is the eating expertise. Glenlaurel modified up its culinary workforce a number of months again, and so they’re actually creating some attention-grabbing dishes.
However first… your dinner at Glenlaurel at all times begins with a cocktail hour, both within the pub or on the patio, relying on the climate. It’s a stunning time when everybody’s invited. After about an hour, a little bit of recorded bagpiping will name everybody in to dinner. Relying on the scale of your group, chances are you’ll be seated in the primary eating room, the downstairs pub, or the massive eating desk off the entryway.
After which the night progresses with a six-course meal (it’s seven programs on Saturdays). The primary course varies relying on the day of the week: pork on Mondays, salmon on Tuesdays, rack of lamb on Saturdays, and many others., though you’ll be able to request a distinct entree prematurely.
You possibly can order further drinks along with your meal as effectively: wine, beer, cocktails, spirits. Every thing is fantastically offered.
As you’ll be able to think about, there’s additionally a good-looking whiskey record. And the pours are very beneficiant.
The meal typically consists of an appetizer, a soup, a salad, slightly break for a palate-cleansing sorbet, then the primary course adopted by dessert.
Our meal this time round included a pleasant tuna tartare.
And a really memorable mushroom soup. We chatted with the cooks about among the morel searching that takes place throughout the area.
We have been visiting on a Friday, so the primary course was seafood-focused.
After dinner and dessert, it was time to thank our hosts, then head again to the cottage for the night time.
However that’s not all! Along with dinner, a stunning multi-course breakfast is included in your keep. Similar to the dinner, it has no proper being this good (or no should be, given the captive viewers). However nice care and a focus is given to the service and dishes. Like these house-made scones!
Or the little bowl of porridge! This model was loaded with blueberries.
Along with espresso, tea, scones, and porridge, you get your selection from two entrees. We tried one in every of every. (You may as well buy brunch cocktails!)
This fantastically plated stuffed French toast was loaded with berries and got here with a aspect of bacon.
And take a look at this open-faced BLT with cherry tomatoes, poached eggs, and hollandaise on a toasted croissant!
We’d extremely advocate a keep at Glenlaurel! It feels secluded and enjoyable whereas providing loads of facilities, together with outstanding eating experiences.
