I stayed at the Graigmonie at the weekend and was excited when i heard that there was a swimming pool, sauna etc.... When i got there the entrance is very grand and feels like a proper highlands hotel - all wood panneling etc... When we got up to the room, however, we found a very dated decorated room which was very small. I understand that hotels have to work within the confines of their 4 walls but just a small bit of investment would go a long way in the hotel. The decoration was like something from the 80's the bathrooms were old and tired and the rooms were really small. There were no real added extras - shampoos etc... and i had to hunt for the kettle. The hotal bar closes at 12.00 and there is no room service to note. The pool was very poor - very small and the whole leisure area is very dated - feels like something from an 80's comedy set - all neon lights and pastel colours.

The staff did their best but all seemed a little down and lacked any real point to note. The breakfast was nice but at 9.30 on a Sunday it was all nearly gone with little replenishment.

I don't think it is the actual hotels fault- the people who own it should just invest some money on renovating it to meet the expectations of todays travellers.

The location is great - if you stay hre and it feels like you are a long way from town - just walk right out of hotel and take first right and a 10 minute walk brings you into the town centre.

First time visit to Scotland was made a dream by this hotel, myself and girlfriend booked this hotel on a spur of the moment and were delighted with the result. Reviews gave mixed results but after staying we would recommend it to anyone... The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, especially breakfast and bar staff who made us feel at home. We didn’t make full use of the leisure facilities as our short 3 day stay was full with our Scottish itinerary. However the hotel met our standard completely and was immaculate, our room in particular. The bar was a beautiful traditional style with open fire which warmed us up after our days in Scotland’s best weather (chilly at best)

We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a four poster room (No. 115) and were thrilled! everything we hoped for and more. Quaint and traditional decor was fitting with a Scottish break and we loved every moment!

Breakfast was buffet style, with staff on hand with hot drinks, every pallet was catered for with everything from continental to full Scottish including good hearty porridge! Nothing to fault!

Car parking was excellent and never struggled to park.

Book with confidence and ring the hotel for best offers!

“Small Rooms and Horrible Wi-Fi”

We stayed at the Swallow Craigmonie for two nights and there were some concerns. The rooms were very small and two looked at walls. They advertise Wi-Fi but we had to be moved three times to get one with even a signal. Only acceptable signal was in the lobby. Front desk was superb.

“Only interested in profit”

Craigmonie Hotel & Leisure Ltd.

8/13 found this review helpful

At a recent reception after a funeral I was disgusted with the attitude of this hotel. The tea was not ready (how long should it take to make a pot of tea?) and this forced people to buy drinks, in my opinion a deliberate attempt to boost the profits of the hotel at a time of great sadness for those involved. This may not be relevant to all tourists but does reflect the attitude of the management of the hotel. I would not recommend that anyone stays there.
