DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro Hotel

I recently stayed at this hotel with my partner and our dog, and I must say it was a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hotel was dog-friendly—our furry friend was warmly welcomed with treats at the reception, which was such a thoughtful touch. I had a special request for synthetic bedding (duvet and pillows), and the staff handled it promptly and without any issues. I’m incredibly grateful for their attentiveness and efficiency in accommodating this request. The food was another highlight of our stay. As a vegan, I often struggle to find suitable options at restaurants, but this hotel offered several delicious vegan dishes, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The decor in the hotel is a bit tired, but I can imagine how much work it would be to update such a large property. Despite this, all the facilities, including the bed and bathroom, were exactly as they should be. I prefer to focus on the positive aspects rather than nitpick minor details, and there were plenty of good elements to appreciate. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making us feel at ease throughout our stay. One of my favourite aspects of the hotel was its spacious, dog-friendly lounges. It was so nice to relax in these areas with our dog by our side. The building itself is quite large and boasts some truly beautiful features—you just need to take a closer look to appreciate them. The architecture of the main building, the massive old doors, the stained glass at the main entrance, the stunning staircases, and the intricate details throughout the hotel all added to its charm. We had a lovely stay, and I am sure it was mostly thanks to the wonderful people who work there and do such a fantastic job. I highly recommend this hotel, especially for those travelling with pets or looking for thoughtful service and unique surroundings.

Convenient location, nice staff, comfy bed, generally good.

Its was beautiful, the drive up was grandiose. The rooms were ok , the hallway was dull and in need of a freshen up . The beds were comfortable and Sophie from guest relations was extremely helpful. Asking us if we needed anything. We requested 2 pillows and they were at the door within minutes. Checking in with hot cookies and service with a smile. The Staff were awesome and made us feel special. The breakfast was fantastic with a great choice to suit everyone. I would definitely come back … thankyou xx

I have stayed a few times now it’s always been great love the location and the staff are friendly

from the girl that checked us in to every other member of staff they were all just excellent so very polite and nothing was a problem, the dinners we had on both nights in the restaurant were excellent , very tasty and good size of portions , the lunch we had in the Cocktail bar was the same , the breakfast was exceptional and so many choices for a buffet breakfast and all the food was piping hot which is very unusual for a buffet breakfast. when we had no long got into our room we got given a Scottish welcome basket which was full of tasty goodies and we thought that this was a very nice touch from the hotel.
