We stayed in a 1 bedroom lodge fully equipped to sleep 4 people if you use the folding queen size bed in the lounge. The kitchen was better equipped than our kitchen at home and the views from the lounge were stunning although some other lodges have restricted views due to the woodland setting. The property was well maintained and... More

Just returned from a two night break on dinner bed and breakfast basis. Excellent value of £119 for a twin room via Hilton's own website. Large twin room in the older part of the hotel, with a superb view looking west over the mountains. We were there for the nearby golf courses (unrelated to the hotel, but also excellent) and... More

We spent one week ath the end of March in a lodge (not to be confused with the hotel) at the Hilton Craigendarroch near Ballater. The check-in highlighted what other reviewers have said about the condition of the hotel, the check-in process and the accommodations in general. It could be improved. At minimum, better training would be helpful. Moreover, we,... More

Firstly, the good part :- The food in the formal Oaks Restaurant was really very good. Also the service by the waitress on duty there was absolutely impeccable. The young lady concerned was a Hungarian member of staff called Diane and she was extremely polite, professional and efficient. Really, it was the food and the service in The Oaks was... More

First problem was the room was not ready until 4pm, the reason they gave was that the bed linen had not been delivered!! The suite was large with a separate living area and bedroom with... More
