Loved this stay at Cardrona hotel! The room was on the smaller side but well appointed, heated and felt classic. We made a reservation for dinner when booking and loved eating there for both dinner and the following breakfast. The mulled wine was incredible. The only thing we didn’t get to experience was the hot tub as it was full with a group for quite a long time after dinner (it’s small). Service: 5
