My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. While I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings in the Tweed Valley and the evening dinner was surprisingly good, the overall maintenance of the hotel left much to be desired. The service was hit or miss, and our room had several issues that shouldn't be present in a place like this. I felt that for the price we paid, the experience could have been much better.

Our room had significant maintenance issues, including a broken window and stains on the bed, which were quite off-putting.

My stay was quite a mixed bag. While I appreciated the beautiful surroundings and some aspects of the dining experience, I encountered significant issues with the cleanliness and maintenance of my room. The staff were somewhat accommodating, but there were definitely moments where their responsiveness was lacking, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant experience.

Rooms

The initial room I was given had threadbare carpet and left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness, which was disappointing. However, I was later moved to a better room with nicer decor, which was more enjoyable.

Facilities seemed adequate but weren't particularly remarkable. The spa had a relaxing atmosphere that I appreciated, even if other areas felt cramped due to the busy clientele.

The experience at Cardrona was quite mixed. While the evening meal during the murder mystery event was fantastic and truly enjoyable, many aspects of the stay, including room cleanliness and breakfast quality, left much to be desired. The hotel definitely has potential, but some areas need urgent attention to match its previous standards.

Although the leisure facilities add to the relaxing atmosphere, the hotel itself feels a bit tired and under-maintained.

While the hotel has potential thanks to its lovely views and well-kept golf area, it falls short of its 4-star rating due to tired rooms and a mixed experience with staff. Although dining and spa facilities provided moments of enjoyment, service consistency needs improvement for overall satisfaction.

While the hotel offered lovely views and some excellent dining experiences, overall, I was quite disappointed with the upkeep of our room and the service during our stay. The golf course was impressive, but the buggy hire felt overpriced, which made it hard to justify for next time. It had potential, but certain aspects need significant improvement.

Rooms
5.0
Our room had a beautiful view, but it was quite tired-looking with scuffed walls and a carpet in need of replacement. It could have benefited from a deeper clean, as the bathroom wasn't adequately serviced during our stay.
Service

Service was hit or miss; some staff were quite friendly, while others seemed overwhelmed or unengaged. We had to chase up for drink orders during dinner, which added to the frustration.
Location

The hotel is situated in a lovely area overlooking the golf course, making it ideal for those interested in golfing and enjoying the scenic surroundings.

The dining options were quite good, especially the food quality during dinner. However, breakfast service was chaotic and could use better organization.

The overall maintenance of facilities left something to be desired, particularly in the dining area where things felt a bit disheveled on busier mornings.
