We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very welcoming and even had a little treat bag ready for us and our dog! The hotel was easy to get around and the on site gym & pool were great. (They also provide towels for you at the gym). We ate at the restaurant both nights and the food was delicious!

Wonderful overnight stay in Dunblane

Wonderful stay at Dunblane Hydro with friends. Our room was well equipped with everything we needed. We were lucky enough to get a room with a stunning view over the town and the hills. The bed was extremely comfortable and bathroom spacious and immaculately clean. Our meal in the Kailyard by Nick Nairn was amazing and the staff were so friendly and attentive . Welcoming reception staff ensured our table was booked for dinner and hot cookies on arrival was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had in hotels with a wide selection and piping hot cooked food. Didn’t use the leisure facilities but did enjoy a relaxing drink in one of the lounges. Check out time meant we did not need to rush away in the morning.

The hotel itself is amazing, our room could have been better, found a t-shirt down the back of a chair in our room & also a two pound coin on the chair, which to me means it was not moved to be hoovered!! Other than that it was good, breakfast is amazing! As was dinner very good food!!

I would recommend reserving the restaurant as we were left standing for a while. Staff were slow. After being seated though service was good and food was lovely. Hotel is lovely and bar/ breakfast and reception staff were excellent. I would stay again.

Weve had to put a complaint in as we were not happy with the lack.of knowledge from staff, given wrong information leading to us having to choose from a different food menu that cost alot less than the money we paid for the additional dinner and breakfast. Blood on the wall in the bathroom. Not the experience we expect from a high end and expensive chain of hotels such ad the hilton

The welcome was good, the room was fine and reasonably priced, food was good quality but expensive. Drinks were also expensive. No wine under £30, three lagers, Guiness, Leffe blonde and another Innes and Gunn;no real ale and no draught cider. The only cider available was Swedish which is ridiculous when there are so many good English ciders. The lounges were pleasant but who wants to linger when there is such a poor choice and everything is so expensive. Stayed in a Wetherspoon's hotel recently, food not so good but much nicer room and better and much more reasonably priced choice of drinks.

Beautiful building but sadly needs a lot of upgrading, rather outdated and shabby furniture and fittings. Lots of noise with children running around the corridors. The restaurant though made the stay the food and service were first class. The leisure facilities also need a face lift.
