Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa

Reception staff were very helpful in facilitating, in advance of arrival, the best accessible room for my wife who uses a wheelchair but can walk short distances. One of the most comfortable beds we have ever had. The housekeeping team were superb, full marks for cleanliness and a friendly welcome. The swimming pool and gym facilities were excellent, and included with the room, just wish I had more time to spend in the pool. Dog friendly and plenty of available free parking near the entrance with electric car charging available.

The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, which is quite rare these days even in a 4 star hotel. Breakfast spread was fantastic too, with buffet and continental options, as well as coffee and tea. We only used the pool and it was fantastic, just slightly crowded in the morning. Most staff were very attentive too.

The room was a good size. Nice large bath and separate double shower. Plenty of instant hot water. Coffee, tea and biscuits. The lady on reception was particularly friendly and helpful. Breakfast was absolutely lovely. Only one of everything on the hot Scottish breakfast but it was delicious and was sufficient. There was also a continental option. The pool and spa were really good as was the well equipped gym.

The room we were given, the hotel in general. All staff except the girl who served us afternoon tea.

Golf starter got me a tee time at very low price and very short notice on afternoon I arrived. Had a superb professional massage - best I ever had - on day I left at the Elemis Spa - excellent team in spa. Pool area very good too with opportunity to do lengths with minimum disruption depending on time of visit. Views very pleasant on the eye from the river Tweed to the nearby hills with trees plus brown and purple heather -all especially obvious when playing the Championship Golf course or walking in the Cardrona area
