After the poor experience at the Hilton Aviemore on the other side of the Cairngorms last year, it was with some trepidation and low expectations that we booked into this hotel. However, on arrival the impression made by this property is immediately positive. The hotel is based around an old former family home built in Scottish baronial style. The hotel... more

Stayed here in April 2009 for my Mum's 60th birthday. Had booked a delux room and got a great deal in the Hilton half price sale. Delux rooms have a balcony and chairs and are quite spacious. The bathrooms were really small though but did the job. All the staff we met were very friendly and helpful and nothing was... more

My husband booked this hotel as a birthday present. Unfortunately, I read the reviews after the hotel was booked. Based on the dreadful reviews, I booked a couple of nearby restaurants - which were both superb. On Sunday 14th June, we decided that we would chance a simple meal in the hotel - wine glass and water glasses were filthy.... more

Other reviews would have you believe that this was an overpriced, really dated hotel. Welcome to the highlands of Scotland! We didn't find the prices high...in fact we got a great deal from Hilton for a hotel of this quality. Yes, its a little jaded...but its not bad. The hotel itself has lots of character, and the spa facilities are... more

We stayed at the Hilton Craigendarroch from the 23rd to 25th May. We had a deluxe room which we booked via their website. Our room and bathroom was fine – very clean with a huge bed, and a balcony, and a nice big flat screen television. However, the corridor leading up to the room wasn’t too impressive, with a musty... more

A romantic weekend trip with my girlfriend to scotland was a bit disapointed. The hotel looks very nice from the outside. We had the most simple room and shocked to find mold on the curtains in the bathroom, a broken window fixed with ducktape. The room was very outdated and very noisy. Lovely location in scotland though. Lovely swimmingpool, lovely... more

We found a good deal for a suite, which made all the difference. The suite was amazing, massive leather sofa, flatscreen tvs and a jacuszzi. There was no playstation or bathrobes though, which we had been told there would be. The hotel is nicely done up, if a little dated. The pool is very nice and has rockpool and pretty... more

A beautiful part of the country with the potential to be a lovely hotel IF it were brought up to Hilton 4* standards. As it is, expect old musty rooms, mould in the bathrooms ( walls, curtains, shower curtains). Poor service and food in the club house restaurant. The reception staff are lovely and the breakfast is very good but... more

We visited this hotel in April and were not impressed with any of it really. The room was a 4 poster with spa bath. The material behind the bed was stained and smelly , as wes the window furniture and cushions. The bath had no hand rail to assist safe in and out and the while bathroom carpet smelled of... more
