Great place
Lovely area. Room 16 was phenomenal. Breakfast in the lounge was quick and yummy. No ac but unless major heat wave you don’t miss it. Very quiet. Parking was a little tight.

Stunning craigendarroch!
Fantastic staff who were always smiling and happy. Loved the lounge, restaurant and suite we were in. (Only negative to our suite was amount of Lorrie’s and cars that parked outside it). Suite had everything in it we needed and felt it was very well priced and comfortable. Grounds even had a small butterfly garden. Whole hotel was spotless. Husband didn’t like his food on one evening but staff were fantastic, offered replacement, refunded cost, checked in with us the following evening. This was our fourth visit to this Hilton and we love this style of having the suite. Setting is beauti

Lovely place and would return soon
We had a lovely stay overall. The hotel is in a great location and the bar area was particularly nice, with a really welcoming atmosphere. A special mention goes to the young barman who looked after us with some excellent cocktails. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch his name, but we ended up chatting about our time in the Army, and he was friendly, attentive, and a real credit to the hotel. All of the reception and bar staff were lovely throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. My only criticism is that the electric fireplace in our room wasn’t working. This was actually one of the featu

A wonderful stay in a truly beautiful location
What a beautiful hotel and location. Greeted on arrival by Ross who was just wonderful and explained everything we needed to know. We stayed in Suite 21. Fabulous suite, very nicely spaced out. We loved the outside balcony as it was full of little wild birds. We did not use any of the spa facilities during our stay. We only used the bar/bar menu. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.
