.Staff made the place. Great breakfast & Dinners.

Okay , yes the floors creak and its a bit old but the management and staff are fabulous. The hotel has a very welcoming feel about it . The food and beverages were reasonable priced and the breakfast and the three dinners I had were excellent quality and very tasty. My room was very clean upon arrival , my bed sadly was very hard and uncomfortable but you don't go to such a scenic area to snooze it all away. I will definitely return.,

Bedroom desperately needed updating. Large cobwebs hung from the ceiling and the layout ensuite facilities were poor. Black damp around the shower tray and in the grouting. The queen bed had separted in the middle by morning. Dinner menu limited, food was ok.

It was awesome and grest experience to stay here.

When I drove my car to the hotel with beautiful scenery on both sides, still wasn't sure I could find the hotel. Finally I've got to the destination. Surprised to see the traditional and wonderful hotel. If you trip to take public transportation, not easy to stay here. Room was very clean and quiet, but not enough warm. It was a bit cold in April in highland.

Don’t bother staying at this hotel

This hotel is terribly out dated the furniture in the lounge and bar were very dirty to stage your hands stuck to the arms of the chair. Decor was in shocking state paint falling off and some bits not painted. Everything was covered in finger prints doors and lift. Shower door wasn’t even on the rails and didn’t shut sink was cracked and the size of the tv was a chock. This place needs to be gutted out a start again.

We have stayed at the Craiglynne several times, for us as an outdoorsy family it is an ideal blend of value, comfort and location. Some of the rooms may be a little tired, but they are large, clean, and facilities are good - it really works for us that they are dog friendly too. The staff are lovely and always happy to help make our stays, and part of the reason we keep going back. There is a lovely woodland area literally just opposite the hotel which is great for walking, particularly having some shelter if the weather turns inclement. Looking forward to our next stay already!!

Dark , damp and mouldy

Opened the door to the room and instantly smelt damp. There was obviously a water leak in the corner of roof above the tea/coffee tray and plaster on the table and tray it was on. The shower was really mouldy and alot of rust around the shower tap. All in all pretty shabby and how they still allowed the room to be let is shocking. Returned straight to reception and informed them we would not be staying. She was unable to refund the payment i made 2 minutes earlier. Was asked when we checked in if we would be booking for dinner. Thankfully we didnt. If that is an acceptable room what is an acceptable kitchen. Got my refund the next morning after we found another hotel in grantown to stay in at half the price and room and breakfast were excellant. All in all do not believe the images you see and read other reviews as well as ours before booking as we are not alone in our experiance.

Breakfast was cold on the first morning. Waiter knew the entire buffet was could but did not offer to microwave our plates. No maid service during our stay. beds not even made up. I found our the hotels has different coach parties each night so if they need to clean those rooms at the expense of others, I understand but wish this was highlighted before I booked. Shower over bath tub was horrendous to get it switched on. Emergency exit door was open the 3 days of our stay and propped open with a huge brick.
