Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Scotland

We stayed at a spacious two-bedroom duplex for two days in May. Our room and on-site facilities are well furnished and maintained in a spotless condition. Th surrounding woods are tranquil and lovely to walk in. The location is about 20 minutes from the the town of Ballator by walking.

A lovely hotel with fantastic amenities. Rooms are clean, cosy and modern. Pool and spa area are welcoming and relaxing. The lounge bar is a great place for a few drinks at the end of a long day.

We booked this three night stay believing it was close to the glenshee ski centre, a mistake I’m sure was mine, however the suite was stunning, nice Lesure centre and pool ,we found the bar and restaurant a bit limited but ventured in to town and found pubs and an Indian restaurant, in all a lovely quiet place to relax.

Loved the luxury, delicious food and service from all staff. Leisure facilities were superb. Our third time here and it was brilliant!

They never answer the phone. No room service and no breakfast u til 10:00AM. Check out was also at 10:00 AM. Awful stay and very pricey.

staff there are super friendly and super helpful, the room is comfortfy, cozy and very clean. a lot of activities very close by, food in resort resturant are cery good. surrounding are beutiful! we have great expirence and wish back there in further.

It didn’t let us down. We primarily chose the hotel because of the location, which I cannot recommend enough. Perfect for our one-night trip to get away for the weekend. Beautiful scenery, fantastic walks on the door-step (Burn O’Vat a particular delight, literally felt like you were walking through a waterfall into a different world), and a lovely, well kept village to wander round for an afternoon. We chose the Hilton primarily because it had a pool and because we expected a good level of quality given the brand reputation. It didn’t disappoint. We went for the smallest room, which was still plenty large for us, and the facilities were just as advertised. Good cleanliness, professional staff and a comfortable bed. The restaurant was particularly good, better than expected, and worth staying in the hotel rather than going down into the town from our opinion. The one negative was that they don’t do a ‘hotel breakfast’ service, only a continental room service option which looked expectedly overpriced. Brunch begins at 10am, but the options are limited (no full Scottish breakfast!). However, given the number of good cafe options in Ballater this wasn’t a problem and not a deal breaker for us. A very enjoyable stay, would have no qualms about returning and doing it all again.

So many near by walks ... Loch Muick (if you have mobility or balance issues go down to the path on the right ... easy pathway to the end of the Loch.. come back the same way), river walks, five bridge walk in town! The resort and staff are lovely. We have already booked to return in March 2025!

Exactly as described. Check in was quick. We loved our junior suite and the bed was perfect. Big roomy bathroom a plus. Nice toiletries and decent fluffy towels. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on dining options. Parking was easy.
