"The Strathburn is a charming hotel. The staff were very courteous and helpful. We found it quite warm in the room likely because the days were warmer than we expected & there is no A/C. We were disappointed that there is no longer a restaurant for dinner in the evening. The staff was helped us to order pizza to be delivered to the hotel."

"Overall Had a good stay. Our standard room the bed was a tiny double and on one side a sloping roof making it very difficult to get in and out of bed without smashing head. The kettle didn't reach the plug so had to make coffee on the floor. The shower was an awful old electric thing that didnt get hot and was just a dribble of water. The bar was set up for breakfast by 8pm and so we couldn't sit and enjoy a drink there after dinner. However these were just wee annoying things. We had a great dinner, very tasty and good portion size. Breakfast was okay. The staff were all lovely. We would stay again but pay extra for a superior room"

"We booked very last minute and got a good price which included breakfast. We had requested a room with a bath if possible but didn't get one and staff member who checked us in didn't mention the request at all. The room was a good size and clean enough. We were only given 1 coffee cup in the room but that didn't bother us as we didn't need it this time but I'm sure if we'd asked we would have been given one as the staff on the bar/restaurant were very friendly and good. They allowed us to go for a later breakfast which was fantastic and the food in the restaurant the night before was really tasty as was the breakfast of which there was a good amount of selection. We would stay again if in the area."

"The Sweet Donside Cabins are a little piece of heaven in Scotland, everything we could possible need was provided, we stayed in the Little Love Nest and the way it was decorated was absolutely amazing the added touches of pictures and ornaments was second to none, Lizzie and Brent are amazing hosts. Everything was spotless, the hot tub was ready as soon as we arrived and was such a treat with the lights all around the decking area. Each cabin is very private even though they are next to each other. We will definitely be back!"
