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.

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Beautiful building but sadly needs a lot of upgrading, rather outdated and shabby furniture and fittings.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.

2 rooms, one great, one with several H&S issues

We have booked two rooms for 3 nights. Even though the first room was to the usual standard the 2nd one was not so good with several health and safety issues. The room was on a corridor that apparently had recent water damage and it was smelling mouldy. The room itself, had electricity sockets that were loose (the sockets on the desk) with visible live wires that kids could easily touch. Also, the connection between the two single beds was through a latch which was loose and with the screws exposed at the end of the bed; that could easily hurt and adult or a kid passing by too close. The internal lock/ latch of the door was broken with sharp end the could easily hurt a person on the head if of similar height. So, 3-4 major Health and Safety issues that should be addressed immediately not to result in a incident.
