    We do enjoy a Dunblane Hydro visit, I much prefer it to the Crieff Hydro, Dunblane is worth a visit

    The pool area was a little too cool and I felt that the changing rooms could have benefitted from more regular cleaning otherwise, it is a great facility. It was actually very difficult to get parked at the hotel, to the point I felt reluctant in moving the car to go out!

    Lovely room with an exceptional view from the front of the hotel. Lovely products in the room to use. Helpful staff.

    The bed in the accessible room was too high but when I informed the hotel, this was rectified quickly

    The staff were excellent. Professional and very helpful. I had informed the hotel that it was our anniversary and when we arrived, there was a card as well as a small box of chocolates

    Nothing comes to mind!

    The organisation and choice of food at breakfast was excellent; the hot dishes were piping hot and very fresh, plates were heated and the staff were very helpful and cheerful! The selection of cold food was also excellent, and what we really appreciated was the separate area for gluten free food with its own toaster, which is exceptional.

    Self service breakfast, not cooked to order. Overcooked scrambled egg. Coffee from a machine rather than individual cafetieres served at the table. Genera lack of signage in the hotel - reception, dining room etc.

    Good selection of food for breakfast.

    The hotel was stunning, the grounds were beautiful and it was a very grand building. It may need some tlc inside however it was beautiful. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We stayed after getting married for a few days away. We got an upgrade which. Made the stay so much better. We will be back

    Wasn’t keen on need to leave the hotel to get to leisure facilities, particularly when cold and wet on the way back!

    Good location, clean and well decorated. Good location. Decent dinner menu, nice social lounge area with TV so good pick for sports fans.

    The beautiful front on the hotel (the original hydro) and the grounds make the hotel look lovely, but our accommodation was in a room at the annexe at the back of the hotel, which was really ugly on the outside and very dated inside. Lack of sockets near the bed was a particular annoyance. Bathroom needed updating to make it more accessible. Overall, facilities not as good as other hotels in this chsin

    The staff absolutely make this hotel - especially the restaurant and bar staff. They were consistently welcoming and professional. If something went wrong, they apologised and put it right. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic.

    Needs a refurbishment. Bar area and adjoins rooms really looking a bit sad. Carpets were dirty, food spillages crisps on floors. Chairs had upholstery dropping down. Bedroom had drink stains on the wall/skirting boards in one area.

    Location, outside appearance, manicured gardens, staff very welcoming.

    The hotel looks a little tired in places eg the beautiful wooden floor in the bar and seating area was in need of improvement, the tables and chairs looked worn. The leisure facilities are not part of the hotel which is inconvenient as you cant just wander down in your dressing gown. The pool is open to the public and there were children’s swimming lessons on which were very noisy.

    The food and overall hospitality was excellent. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean.

    No one answered the phone from the room, yet reception called me and insisted I get out of bed and pay for my extras as they didn’t have one on record. For clarity, I was not asked for one when I checked in. There was no shower gel in the bathroom.

    The restaurant food was very good and the restaurant staff were exceptional.
