Great one night stay.
The staff were all attentive, extremely friendly and more than helpful with any requests. Love music was excellent, table service from the bar all for less than the coat of a budget chain hotel in Inverness. Really impressive surrounding area/grounds, just a shame didnt get to try out the health suite/spa facilities.

Basics are right, but needs upgrades/modernisation
Beautiful old building and great location. Service was mostly good, although the table service at the bar wasn't very attentive. Restaurant and breakfast were excellent. The bedroom was old and quirky - in a good way - mostly. However, the mattress was at the end of it life and very uncomfortable - a double mattress that was a double mattress (normally, a double room has a bigger than UK standard Double bed - but hey-ho!). The shower-over-the-bath was lethal, someone previous had almost pulled the towel rail down, guessing whilst trying to get out the shower/bath.

Dunblane Hydro Stay.
We stayed at the Dunblane Hydro a number of years ago and we noticed a difference this time. The double room had a tray with kettle etc but there was no decaf tea bags (decaf coffee was available). There were no biscuits or bottled water. There were no dressing gowns or slippers.
Perhaps the more expensive rooms would have had these.
The room and bathroom was clean and bed and pillows very comfortable.
The furniture looked a little tired as did some of the carpets in the corridors.
Breakfast was good. Staff were all very nice and helpful.
We would return to this hotel but for a Hilton we expected a little more.

Room very dated
We were out in the old rooms, so basic & dated, must be 20 + years since these last had a refit. We paid £196 which was a rip off for this room, £110 would have been fair as it was way beyond tired.

Friendly and fabulous.
The staff at this hotel could not have been anymore helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. They are very dog friendly and although not allowed in the restaurant which I fully agree with we could take our dog in the lounges. The pool and sauna/steam room were great and very well maintained. We would definitely return here when we are visiting this area again. Great breakfast too!
