Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa

Very good value for the money the course was in excellent condition for the time of year the only downside is the hotel was very expensive if you’re buying drinks or sandwiches we paid £46 for a round of sandwiches and coffee (4 of us ) apart from that excellent value for money and highly recommendable the food in was really good and the staff more than helpful we will definitely be booking again

Hotel was dated and needs upgraded, the room was nice but when we opened our windows they would not close and jammed open, appear to be twisted? restaurant at night was lovely but breakfast was very poor, no appliances for making toast for breakfast and food was average, there was toast made and in the hot food buffet but was not good.

Accommodation very good and setting/location excellent. The hotel service was a little disjointed this time, probably because they were quite busy. Despite this we thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Great time at the Cardrona. Everything was perfect and the professional couldn't have been more helpful. All staff and meals were fantastic. We will definitely be going back next year. Thanks again Your Golf Travel for a great golfing experience. Brian Smith

a good few days. Helpful and efficient staff

A gem of a find that was incredible value for money. The course was as you would expect for a Scottish golf course - long, well kept, punishing if you were off line but a very fair challenge. The staff were what made this trip exceptional however. Excellent customer service from desk, bar, wait and above all golf shop staff. David in the golf shop genuinely could not have done more for us and was an absolute credit to the place.

The service is awful. Students at the restaurant and the cleaning team stays less than 5 minutes in the room just to set up the bed. They don’t even change the glasses or empty properly the trash cans

Hotel needing a bit of upgrading ,particularly the public areas. There were problems with the breakfast catering ,or lack of it(blamed on a large party who had eaten prior to the other guests) Pretty area for walkers and golfers. Drinks expensive,usually guests receive a voucher or 20% off but not at the present time

Lift was not working (we were on the 4th floor), carpets in room starting to get threadbare, very warm in the room, no electric fan and windows won’t open, toilet was blocked, shower nice and spacious, building needs a good spruce up specially outside...crying out for a fresh lick of paint, breakfast new setup is terrible and disappointing as a result of cutbacks here and there, service is very slow although staff shown dedication to work and were helpful and friendly. I’ve stayed at Cardrona Hotel numerous times but the noticeable cutback and quality of breakfast made me feel not to go back ever again. However, the course is still as good and challenging as I’ve always known throughout all the time I’ve played it. I guess hotel is fine for bus load of foreign tourist as stopover but not for guests looking for enjoyable break.

We were very lucky the course was quiet and we went round in a very quick time the greens had recently been hollow tined but did not affect the pace of the greens A very enjoyable golf course to play

Enjoyed the lay out of the course but was very hard and played long and especially for the wife

An excellent layout and in good condition, particularly the fairways. The only criticism is there are several long walks from green to tees and this makes it feel like a long course, the back 9 is particularly long. Apart from that the setting is excellent an always enjoyable to play.

Beautiful course with great panoramic surroundings. Would recommend to all golfers.

a long course but most enjoyable

Played it often,quite long ,most holes have interest.While there it was quiet Pro shop very helpful ,

It’s never changed. I like the course that’s why I always invited my different sets of friends to come with me. The only negative point is there’s no toilet facility which is a long course. But because of the noticeable decline of the hotel standard I won’t be coming back.
