DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro

We stayed just one night on our way to Edinburgh and were gladly surprised by the lovely hotel.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro is set in a truly unique and picturesque location, surrounded by beautiful scenery and plenty of charm. The setting itself makes it a special place to stay, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. The historic building and grounds add to the overall experience, giving it a character you don’t often find in modern hotels. That said, I did notice a few small details that could improve the guest experience — some of the typical hotel amenities were missing, such as basic cutlery and mouth rinse cups in the room. While not major issues, it’s something I would have expected at this level of accommodation. Overall, the stay was enjoyable thanks to the setting and atmosphere, and with a little more attention to those details, it could be an excellent all-round experience.

Room was clean and comfortable if not to the level of modernity you would expect for the price. All fine but rooms and health suite could do with a facelift

Great hotel. Lovely surroundings. The kids absolutely loved the living pool too

For those who prefer a spacey room, it might be a bit disappointing.

Hotel undergoing renovations, no porter, not good to have guests there
