Visited at the end of May. As a regular visitor and experiencing a few minor problems on the past couple of previous visits I can now say that things have much improved as far as we are concerned. Without doubt as we all know, the lockdown caused serious staffing issues to many places and Cardrona was no exception. A difficult couple of years and now in my opinion the staff are back in control. Breakfast was superb , hotel was spotlessly clean ( still obviously needs an update on furniture fittings etc of which they are aware). But overall a great stay and I'm sure we will be back as usual. Thank you for your hospitality.

We just returned from a golf spa break. Don't think I'd book this hotel again. Golf course fairways are good quality but the greens are the worst I've seen. Greens are bare and patchy. Bunkers not raked since the day before, generally poor. The entire course just needs some maintenance. Rooms are very comfortable although our room was in need of a good dusting. Hot water from the shower took time to come through but nice and hot when it did. The restraunt was well staffed and the food was nice. The drinks from the bar were an absolute rip off. £9 for a single gin and lemonade, £7.50 for a pint of beer. Certainly won't be drinking here again. The spa was great, my wife thoroughly enjoyed her massage.

Our group of golfers stayed here a 8 months ago and have returned. We found that all aspects had improved, last year was affected by Covid staff shortages, and the staff were great and up to full strength, food was good - making the 1/2board well worth it. I would say the portion size was about right for everyone but you did need all three courses if a big eater. Rooms were gradually being upgraded, some were a little tired but always clean and plenty of towels and fresh linen. The golf course is a great layout but still suffering a bit from poor greens. It had improved from last year but they desperately need some expert help to return them to an acceptable standard.

Our first visit was near the end of the Covid restrictions. The staff were subjected to unfair criticisim because of the Covid situation but remained helpful and professional through. Lots of respect for these guys. Have just returned for another golf break. Lovely cheery, friendly and very efficient staff. The rooms were lovely and the hotel very clean. Huge thanks to the Chef and his staff for the amazing meals served throughout our stay. The all made our holiday very special. Already planning next year’s trip. Special mention to some of the staff who went above and beyond: Logan (Spinks Bar); Carol, Cameron, Lucy and Steph (Restaurant); Callum and Chris (Golf Shop). Ther were other members of staff who unfortunately I didn’t get names for. Hopefully I will see you next year.…

Just home from 4 day golf break with 11 female golf friends. The hotel was much better than we expected. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms are very clean and comfortable thanks to the very efficient domestic staff who cleaned and changed towel and restocked our tea coffee and water daily. The only thing we would have liked was 2 keys for room as we were in 6 twin rooms and wasn't easy to key share. Cameron in the hotel ensured our stay had everything we needed and Logan in the Pro shop ensured we had all our golfing needs. All the staff are friendly and go above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We were staying DBB and the food was delicious thank you for a great break first time away since COVID-19 descended.

Our room had good views across the golf course. The hotel was clean. The staff were efficient and friendly. There was plenty of car parking and the spa hotel had everything we needed for an enjoyable working base. We ate at the restaurant and enjoyed a good meal. The bar menu wasn’t too comprehensive but the restaurant’s menu was excellent.

We enjoyed a one night DBB golf package break at the Cardrona. Front of house staff were professional, very pleasant and helpful, particularly Tom at reception. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal in the bar area with beautiful views over the golf course and hills. We had an excellent room which was clean and well maintained. Breakfast had plentiful choice and was very fresh with efficient service. The golf course itself had a good lay out with well placed bunkers etc. The only slight issue was the condition of the greens however this is in hand. Overall an excellent stay and we would thoroughly recommend for a golfing break.
