We stayed in one of the lodge suites - 2 adults 2 kids. Beautiful room in a lovely building. Disappointing was the breakfast options. Hot breakfast only available from 10 am. A reasonably priced (for hiilton!) continental breakfast was available for delivery between 8 and 9 if you pre booked the night before (we missed that detail)). Another annoying detail was check out at 10 am! 10 am on a Sunday morning is pretty brutal!

Nice. But no breakfast.
It’s a very nice hotel. The pool has been redone and is much better but changing rooms pretty average. Public areas nice. But. No breakfast at a hotel like this is absolutely outrageous. They offer a bag of bread to toast yourself in your room.

Great Property
Overall this was a great property. The 1br suite was large and well equipped. The kids loved the two large pools and ping pong room. The location was great and service was exceptional. Highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer.

Lucy & Christine in the Keillor Lounge made us very welcome once again and the entire Craigendarroch environment was, as usual, very relaxing, whilst the gardens at this time of year are spectacular . Great job by a great team.

Dated
The place was nice but dated. If you order breakfast, know in advance that they bring you a packet of coffee, not a pot of coffee. We already had free packets of coffee in the room. They did remove the $3.50 charge when I asked them to, although not happily.

Expensive
At £220 a night a few simple things like robes, biscuits and even a disposable show cap might have been included. We stayed in a very nice room in pitlochry the next night for just under £100, basically we felt the hotel was expensive.

Great Place, Great Stay!
A wonderful break. We were put into Suite 11, which I swear was the bridal suite. Beautiful bedroom and lounge (with dining table) with a microwave and fridge along with the usual coffee/tea/etc. We also had a lovely meal in the Keiller restaurant, a little pricey but every now and again this is OK when accompanied by high quality food.

Ben

Property & room were well appointed and maintained. Room seating was uncomfortable as sofa was a sleeper and chair was stiff, but really, most time is spent out of the room. No AC so we were hot when outside temps were in the 50’sF. In fairness this is common in Scotland. Very nice pools - yes more than 1 - plus restaurant and separate informal lounge. Good food, but breakfast hours start at 10. Doting staff. Perfect service.

Not quite what expected
Didn't know when I booked that room has kitchenette and if wanted anything to eat before 10 am it was a case of make it yourself. Evening meals were delicious and good value.
