Dalmunzie Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful location, food was excellent. In need of an update to furniture and some fixtures."

Balmoral Arms

2/10 Terrible

"Check-in was awful.Room wasn’t ready till after five someone elses welcome letter was on our room instead of ours.I was told put luggage would be taken to our room as it wasn’t ready before we had to go out.Came back 10.30 to mo luggage in room it was in a cupboard at reception .Asked for a later check out as we didn’t get in our room till 10.30 never got that.Not a good experience at all"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Scotland

4/10 Poor

"Wasn’t a suite as advertised, rather a room with a sink. Breakfast was only from 8.30am to 10am which was limited and basic. Staff were charmless. No bar service after 10pm to guests which was ridiculous given we were at a remote location in a Saturday night."

Burnett Arms Hotel

4/10 Poor

"First, the positives: the bar was nice and the food fantastic (really well cooked, tasty and good portions for the price), staff were always friendly and polite, too. As a pub - no complaints. However, as a hotel there were definitely concerns and functional issues. If it had been more than one night, we would have demanded a refund and left. Room/bed: We booked a "deluxe king room" that was allegedly a suite, but the reality did not match the description at all. All one room (apart from the bathroom) and the bed was double width, but shorter than normal. The "coffee maker" was a kettle and some sachets. Housekeeping: Not convinced they had been in before we arrived. Bedding was visually clean and not smelly, but not neatly made. An old newspaper was still on the side stand and McDonald's rubbish was still in the bin. TV: no aerial/digital connection, so we had to sign-in to iPlayer to use it. Shower: broken. The head could not be adjusted, its cap just came away in our hands, as it was clearly broken and just balanced back in place, and then we realised there was only a dribble of ice-cold water. We reported the issues and staff did attend the room, but none of it got sorted and an offer to move us to a different room was later retracted because now the whole hotel had plumbing issues..."
