Hotel is a bit tired. Room was poorly dressed. Bed under window! Small old fashioned portable TV. Bathroom in desperate need of refurbishment. Staff were really helpful and food in restaurant good. Overall accom and food/drink over-priced and really felt poor value for money to spend £150 on a room without breakfast.

We needed a small room for a one night stay. It fit the bill. Not comparable to larger hotels in bigger cities, but it fulfilled my needs. The restaurant meal was excellent and the staff was friendly.

So so stay
The location for us was really great - close to a number of golf courses, distilleries, village and grocery store. This property really needs an update. Carpeting in the hallways and common area furniture needs refreshing for sure. The furniture is VERY tired and uncomfortable. The chairs and divan in our room had legs no higher than 6 inches. Did the elfin used to stay here? May have been comfortable for them, just not for my 6'4" husband. Bathroom completely outdated and the pillows on the bed should have been thrown out a LONG time ago. We can overlook a lot of things, but bad pillows aren't one of them. We ate dinner in the hotel (not a lot of other choices around) and both nights I had the Bolognese pasta. Seriously one of the BEST I have ever had. Morning breakfasts were adequate and tasty too. All in all an OK place to stay though we never really felt welcomed by the staff - they seemed indifferent to us though we tried to engage them. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

The property has a lot of history and takes you back in time. Easy walk into town, close to motorway and griovery store. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Enjoyed the bar, loubge and restauarant during our brief stay. The property needs some love in terms of maintenance though, but our stay was peaceful, enjoyble and comfortable.

Charming and stylish old hotel. Yes, the rooms might need some updating, but it is still well maintained and clean. My second time visiting in 8 months from Canada. Very large rooms and bed (even by North American standards), very friendly/Scottish staff :) Big dining room, bar and separate lounge next to the bar with sofas. Very large parking. A bit pricy, but not different from other establishments in UK it seems (knowing how much electricity cost there... that alone is a reason). I am a light sleeper, so, I appreciated how quiet it is there. Would definitely go back anytime.

Staff was wonderful! Bed was very mushy and uncomfortable, previous guests rubbish was in the room. We requested an extra blanket which was left on the floor outside our room. We will not stay here again.

Give it a go, you’ll be glad!
What Morangie now sadly lacks in kerbside appeal it by far makes up for in warmth, both in temperature and welcome. A beautiful building, well kept but dated, no like anything I’d normally choose but I have to say I wouldn’t think twice about staying again and in fact would choose here specifically. Food also very good, one of the best steaks I’ve had in years and exceptionally well priced.

Warm and welcoming
Extremely friendly staff but arrived during their staff party so kitchens were closed but did have advanced warning so not a problem. Hotel was warm and welcoming. Food was good and the portion sizes were well above average. Would definitely stay there again.

Thoughtful, comfortable and luxurious stay!
When visiting Crieff I want you to RUN to Merlindale and get a room and live it up in style! We were on our way through to the Innerpeffery Library ( a MUST see) and booked a room at Merlindale after a 16 day, 14 hotel/inn trail of places we stayed and far and away this was THE BEST for many, many reasons. Classy, quiet, thoughtful beyond worlds and to top it off, super comfortable bed and FABULOUS breakfast in a quaint and cheery top notch breakfast room. Start the car and get to the airport.

Ok- could be better.
This hotel has the building, and potential to be amazing. The entrance hall, rooms and dining room are stuck in the 1960s. There was a large spider in our bathroom- in a good sized web. The bed was a modest double. The food was very good. The younger staff tried extremely hard. Many of the older staff did not bother. I understand Covid but- paper cups for coffee??? The gardens have gone to a poor state and there are weeds all over the car park. It could be so much better, without too much effort.

Mr.Anonymous, Hotels.com advised you the rate was room only. We are pursuing the person who caused the disturbance.We will look for compensation from the company who employed the person,making noise, not fighting. We hope you can appear as a witness. The night porter called the police and ensured , all customers were safe. As advised at the time we feel we cant really plan for noisy customers in the room, only warn them to be quiet and not allow them back. This is a very unusual happening in a normally very quiet hotel. Some customers say they cant sleep for the quiet...

Very uncomfortable beds
Hotel is on the fringe of the town. Bed was exremley hard which made it difficult to sleep. If you stsy request an upstairs room because if you stay on first floor you will hear all the movements of people above. Very poor water pressure in shower. Best part of this stay is the food as it is excellent

Nice, old-world hotel
Plesant hotel in the old style, not modern glitz, which we liked. Beautiful setting and views. Near a lovely walking and bike trail. Breakfast good. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, maybe not too happy, but they served several large tours while we were there.

Verdt et besøk
Valget falt på Morangie hotel, da der var nokså fullt i Inverness. Bra beliggenhet - rett i nærheten av Glenmorangi Whiskey destillery. Dornock en liten sjarmerende by var bare 10 miles unna - vel verdt et besøh. Spiste middag på hotellet og det var bra - koselig bar Rommet var stort og rommelig.

God save the Queen
Hotel vieille Angleterre dans la plus pure tradition. Accueil chaleureux, staff agréable tant à l'accueil qu'au bar. Seul bémol, la vue de la chambre sur les poubelles. Quoi que la Reine soit passée par là, je doute qu'elle ait eu la même vue. Je conseille fortement et ce serait un plaisir que d'y retourner.
