Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa

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.

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

The breakfast was good lots on offer but enjoyable, The rooms are great plenty of space overlooking golf coarse all in all very comfy and then dinner it was not the best staff very nice and well mannered but slow as i thought at one point the manager guy was on himself the food was ok not lots to choose from.

Dinner was absolutely fantastic. My 14yo daughter tried steak for the first time and loved it. The Mac and Cheese and fish pie were both exceptional

Very relaxing in a beautiful quiet location with golf course and spa. We stayed for 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night trying something different every night. Plenty of choice at breakfast too can’t think of anything they didn’t cater for.all tables have a fantastic view out of the massive windows. Swimming pool, sauna and steam room were an enjoyable experience, I had a nail shape and varnish along with a relaxing back massage in the beautifully relaxing treatment rooms.
