Top Cardrona Hotel Reviews

Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa

Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa

8/10 Good
"Macdonald's Cardrona is looking a bit tired. Pretty well maintained, though enough cut-backs to become noticeable. The staff are very good, but have no say in the fixtures. For example, the third floor is very poorly endowed with WiFi. We had to be moved to the 4th floor, where it was better. Apparently, it is a long-term problem, which you only find out if you are involved. In the bedroom, there were no bedside power sockets; one packet of biscuits for 2 people; inadequate ceiling lighting - only 1 ceiling led in the room, but there were 3 table lamps; sofas were tired; no hairdrier, until we asked for one; bring-your-own bottled water, although there were tumblers there; no bedside drawers; no body-wash for shower and bath (shampoo and conditioner, yes, and hand-wash for the pedestal sink, yes). In the restaurant, the 'hot' food for the buffet breakfast was a few degrees above tepid, which was every morning - not just once; the back-bacon for the buffet breakfast was folded over, meaning it wasn't cooked on the inside; and so on. All signs of cutting back from what Macdonalds used to be 10 or more years ago, and for which they gained a reputation. However, our stay was not spoiled. We would go again, with lower expectations."

8/10 Good
"Plenty of pluses. Abundant free parking. Good check in. Friendly staff. Room good (could do with a chair). Bar and restaurant welcoming. Didn’t confirm online dinner reservation request, but dinner ok, limited menu, but reasonably priced. 10% service charge annoyed me. Service was very good, but it should be at consumer discretion. Coffee cafetière, and fresh milk, in room most welcome, as was ‘proper’ glass (not plastic cup). Breakfast not included at £90 disappointing."

Barony Castle Hotel

8/10 Good
"I had booked a twin room for 3 nights via Hotels.com. and the image on the website did not represent the room allocated to us. The room we were allocated was a very small twin room with the beds tightly next to each other looking like a double bed, with insufficient space to walk around each bed. This was not acceptable. The one bedside table provided had to be moved to another part of the room, which made the room very cramped indeed. We requested a proper twin room with beds a good distance apart. We were told they were all taken due to a wedding but that we could be moved the next morning. We also discovered overnight that the mattresses in the room were totally worn out and inadequate and went nearly flat when trying to sleep. You could feel every single coil in the mattress which meant we had a very poor nights sleep. The mattresses should have been replaced long ago. We were moved to another twin room the next morning and the manager apologised profusely for any inconvenience. This room was exactly what we had been expecting and the mattresses were really deep and seemed brand new. We enjoyed the rest of the stay including a swim in the swimming pool. The staff were extremely helpful and obliging at all times. The dinner on the first night was good and the breakfasts excellent."
