The Glen Clova Hotel is a lovely old drover’s inn near the head of the glen, and a great place to get away from it all. As well as 18 comfortable, country-style, en suite rooms (one with a four-poster bed), it has a rustic, stone-floored climbers’ bar with a roaring log fire, and a restaurant. No mobile phone reception.
