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.

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.

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.

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.
