Craignelder Hotel

The view from my room was amazing

Radiator didn’t work. Told the staff 2xs and they either said it’s on a timer or tried to boost it from the kitchen. Either way I slept in my coat all night shaking. The bathroom was insanely tiny. Worse than an airplane. The unusable radiator had a handle that went halfway over the toilet. At 120lbs I struggled to sit without hitting my hip. The handle when I finally sat touched my chest so sitting up you have to get up sideways. I never seen anything like that. Especially not for $100 a night.

lovely room, great staff,

limited parking, ready for some paint and updating

Location was easy to find, convenient for the ferry in Cairnryan. Breakfast was good, wait staff was excellent. View of the water.

Room was compact. Bed was not the most comfortable.

Absolutely first class service, we were leaving early and the lassie that checked us in, (think she was the owner) made us a packed lunch cos we’d left too early for breakfast. Best packed lunch and well prepared even down to the Prawn Cocktail crisps ? nice touch.Would have no hesitation recommending the Craignelder Hotel and I’ll definitely be back.

Refurbished room was up to the standards shown on pictures. Breakfast/ dinner was exquisite could not fault it. Best cream egg cheesecake ever homemade. Would definately stay again because of the above, and all staff were really welcoming including the owner Hammy.

Parking was a tight issue as only 4 spaces out front. Hence car now has a dent from another car. This led to parking up the rear of the property. Mentioned to staff member about this and they were shocked that this occurred. Shower in bedroom was very hot for a minute or 2 and then went freezing cold mentioned to staff when leaving. The shower gel left for use was not nice smelling perhaps a range of shower gels would be better. Hot water at sink had to be ran for a few minutes before any heat appeared.

Very clean, good location, nice clean tidy rooms, good food and very helpful and polite staff

Staff were lovely, food was excellent. Lovely big room hotel was spotless.

The room which we were in was next to where the laundry cupboard was, there was lots of laundry bags lying about if you were on walking aids it would have been difficult for you to make your way through as there was just enough walking space. A fire hazard I would say!!!

I have enjoyed a few overnight stays here in the past 12/18 months. As ever excellent. First class breakfast included in the room price.

Basic but very clean room

All good, nothing to not like, Staff very pleasant, room clean and food good.

Great location, all staff friendly and excellent food. Great service, nice room and comfortable bed. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Nothing to dislike.

Very clean and comfortable bed.The breakfast was very good.

Lovely bathroom but the shower was not very good poor pressure.

Food was good

Parking is limited, rooms are dated and tight

Breakfast was ok. Ideal location for what we needed.

Room found bathroom cabinet difficult to see as I'm 5'. Glasses in room rather than bathroom. No shower cap. Lighting in room wasn't ideal for seeing mirror when putting make up on as I couldn't use bathroom mirror.

The staff were really helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room had everything I needed. The breakfast was probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve ever had away from home. There’s also a great view of the loch from the breakfast room.

The en suite was a little bit too small and the window didn’t fit properly so it buzzed and whistled all night with the strong winds.

The location was ideal , close to shops & cafes , the on-site restaurant was great and excellent choice of foods , the staff were very friendly and helpful , nothing was a bother to them , great spacious room

Very comfortable bed. Room and bathroom spotless. Good breakfast. Younger staff were excellent, older staff not very accommodating

Dinner menu way overpriced for what was on offer. Mediocre food

Very comfortable and clean, staff were friendly and helpful, great location with lovely views of the bay.Breakfast was ok

Could of done with more choice at breakfast, eg eggs Benedict etc

Food really good, amazing sleep, nice comfy bed

The juke box on at breakfast time

The bedroom and bathroom were of a very high standard. The food in the restaurant was delicious. Attend a funeral and they let us stay in our room till we left the wake

Only downside was when you walked into the lobby area looked a bit like my grannies from the sixties. But the bedroom changed it.

Great overnight stay. Breakfast first class. Excellent value.

Only minor observation. Many rooms have linoleum floor coverings. Carpets would be better...particularly in winter.
