Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good stay, reasonably priced for half board, and decent value for money overall. Room very small with limited window despite upgrading to one with a window, although clean and functional. Breakfast and evening meal were buffet style and had a reasonable choice. Good selection of fish dishes for evening meal but no fish options for breakfast. Breakfast was also lacking any nuts or seeds or fresh fruit to go with yogurt and tinned fruit. Although good selection of traditional Scottish cooked breakfast. Easy parking and swimming pool good. Lots of things for kids to do."
