We loved the Cardrona Hotel! It was a little respite in the middle of open country. The rooms were pretty basic and there was some hotel noise we could hear from our room, but the staff and food were fantastic! I loved the little garden courtyard in the middle and the fires burning both inside and outside were cozy! We saw two rabbits outside our window one morning, having a snack amid the flowers growing around the peripheral of the property. If we ever make it out that way again, we will definitely be back!

We had a great opportunity to catch up over a weekend while staying at Cardrona Hotel. Visited many times, but never stayed the night. This was a wonderful experience which definitely will be done more often. Kind regards, Thelma&Louise

Very nice historic property very well renovated with beautiful garden areas to enjoy while having a drink from the bar. Room did not have a fridge which can be an issue. very nice meals at restaurant. Cardrona does not have other dining facilities, but you can get bar snacks and meals without having to dine in the restaurant that is not really made known.
