Coylumbridge Resort Hotel

Amazing stay at the Coylumbridge hotel. What can I say except fantastic! We had two rooms for 4 people and our small family dog. Both rooms were beautiful, clean, large and very roomy, both beautifuly decorated and lovely bathroom with shower. We had the dog friendly room and I can say there was no wet dog smell like some other places we have stayed, we have a small Cavapoo so doesn't shed but appreciate the room accommodates all dogs so was pleasantly surprised it smelt lovely and clean. |Breakfast was buffet and plenty of choice and area has a lovely ambience with dimmed lighting. Cereals, full cooked breakfast, juices, hot drinks and continental too. All staff are lovely that we came across, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very dog friendly, you can sit in the lobby with plenty comfy chairs and optional table and chairs, if dining with a dog they are not allowed in the breakfast restaurant but you are able to select your breakfast and bring it to the lobby/foyer area and sit at the tables (someone needs to keep dog in lobby while others got to the restaurant).|The grounds are set in forestry and lovely walks, there is a very modern playpark with swings, zip line, climbing frames and chutes all fenced in for child safety. There is also another external building called the fun house which has soft play, adventure golf, pottery painting, amusements and an American diner. This are is well maintained and additional charge but very reasonable (however not dog friendly).There are also large animated dinosaurs outside that move and make noise so great for the kids too. |Also a place inside the grounds called School of snowsports that has loads of activities to chose from - climbing wall, laser tag,trampolines and much more aslo do bike hire. Next to this is the Woodshed which is an outdoor wooden cabin that is a bar (children welcome until 8pm) sells pizza too. |All I all this is the best hotel I have stayed in in a long time and would highly recommend |5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had to make a last minute booking here. Arrived at 10.30pm and was greeted by Ross who was just great. Very engaging and knew his stuff. Been a number of few years since we have stayed here and we were very pleasantly surprised. They have been working hard on improving their image. We were given a lovely double room with a new bathroom. Breakfast was more than ample. All in all was a great value for money stay.

Our recent stay was truly fantastic, offering everything a family could wish for and more. The location was absolutely ideal, putting us right where we wanted to be for exploring. Our room was incredibly comfortable and cozy, providing a lovely retreat after busy days. What really stood out were the outstanding facilities for families. There was so much to keep everyone entertained, making our trip stress-free and enjoyable. And the food? Simply exceptional! Breakfast was a delight, with a fantastic variety of delicious options. The only minor downside, especially given the recent heatwave, was the lack of easily accessible drinking water facilities. It would have been much appreciated to have more options for staying hydrated around the hotel, particularly during such hot weather. Despite this small point, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this hotel, especially for families looking for a top-notch experience with amazing food and amenities.

An interesting place. Full of people, lots going on, lots of staff dashing around doing their best. The staff were generally very friendly and helpful. Rooms are basic, bed was comfortable. Not my thing, too many people and disruption.

This was the fourth time I've stayed here within the last year or so. Myself and my boy use it as a base for fishing etc. We pre booked online after the numerous "urgent" requests from Britannia, to "avoid the ques" Joke. You can't avoid the ques there, whether you've pre booked or not. Britannia just want your money up front. Trust me I've never seen check in ques like that in any hotel worldwide. Staff were as always, very good, considering they were understaffed and under a lot of pressure. I appreciate it's not easy to get staff in a location like that though. We stayed in the main part of the hotel. Room 104. It had been refurbished and was pleasant. However, it's like Britannia had done a half job. Nice bathroom, but toilet roll on the floor, no holder. The bottom of the door was broken and wouldn't shut. Nice room though. I appreciate the comments on the annexe, we stayed there the first couple of times. Really not great, like 1950's B&B's at best. They desperately need updating.||The buffet dinner can be a bit hit or miss. However last Saturday's was really good. The leg of lamb, pork belly, bangers & mash and the rest were more than adequate, and to be fair really tasty.|Breakfast, in my opinion was also more than adequate. Plenty of choice, tasty & warm. Not easy to do buffets on that scale. Unfortunately, as is the common thread, a serious lack of staff. Don't pay for dinner or breakfast on the day. Totally unreasonable rates, not worth the money. Book Dinner, bed & breakfast. Then it's reasonable value. Of the four times I've stayed, 2 have been good, 2 have been not so.||Yes, Coylumbridge Hotel is living on past glories when it was the "go to" place. It's now a shadow of it's past.||On a good day with the right room a good dinner & breakfast buffet, It's actually a nice place to stay. On a bad day with a bad room (annexe), an average buffet service, it's really not good.|With The Coylumbridge. "You pay your money, you take your chances".

Hotel in a very lovely position, was in room C2 family room, the room consisted of a double bed and a single along the wall below where tv was situated making it impossible to view from that bed, Kettle cable could not reach socket from desk, had to move to bedside cabinet to use. Only one pillow on each bed and only one spare in wardrobe instead of three {one for each person} unable to get through to reception to ask for more and nails sticking out of headboard on double bed, no where to hang towels in toilet, toilet seat not secure. The room was only set for two people ie cups etc. Room walls very grubby and in need of freshing up.

Had a pleasant stay, for one night , with 3 friends. |Rooms were clean and nice. The shower room had recently been refurbished. Could have done with more hooks and a wee shelf in the shower room.|Enough choice for breakfast to suit all our tastes.|Staff were pleasant and friendly.

This place is really run down. Check in takes forever. I read about this in the Reviews prior to staying there, and thought perhaps this was a bit of an overreaction but there was a line of at least 40 people waiting to check in for at least over 30 minutes as there was only one person on the front desk. It was ridiculous. There are no staff around during your stay for assistance. However the staff are nice and doing the best they can. They don’t service rooms daily which isn’t a massive deal but it’s just we can only afford to go on one holiday a year and during that holiday I can have a break from the daily mum jobs like cooking and taking care of the house. It’s one of the rare times each year I can have a break from it all, as much as I can while still having to be mum. It just didn’t feel special and fun being there. DO NOT let the description on their website about it being “Formerly a Hilton hotel” fool you. This place is in absolutely no way up to the standard of a Hilton hotel. It’s a real shame about this place. It is filled with families that want to give their family a good time and it’s just really unfair. The place is so old and rundown. But you know they just keep taking bookings every year because they want the money and they’re not willing to put some effort effort into making things better i.e. shutting some rooms temporarily or something like that. I don’t recommend this place at all. Not many photos as it was depressing to see how rough things were and just grabbed a few on the way out to add this review. Also, the Woodshed bar is rubbish and smells 100 years old. One last thing is that it takes a lot for me to leave a negative review. A place needs to be pretty disappointing.

This area is beautiful and perfect for day trips to more remote areas, close to hiking and an easy walk to town and stores. There were several A-frame units, not crowded but part of the landscaped forest area. Units varied in size - ours had 3 beds upstairs. 2 baths. Heating was a bit tricky, and available in all rooms. The maintenance guy came over "to help us get it sorted"... another words - turn it on. Ha! Big puffy down blankets kept us warm, it's cold at night here (June). Big hotel with rooms to rent on the property. They had play areas, kids video and play areas too. Pool had really weird hours. Apparently it was disinfected every few hours or some such nonsense AND you had to make an appointment for available times (in mid-day). I think that would have been fun but didn't use it. An area outside with growling moving Dino's... large enough to be fun for kids... a surprise for us! We loved the extensive trail system and the ruins of a local castle on a tiny island in the lake. Trails are well marked. People were nice, staff was helpful. Area was pretty and quiet. Centrally located. Great transit system; we made appointments to see local attractions via trains / bus - gotta get the timing right and pay ahead. Note: there are stiff fines for cars traveling inside Edinburgh and London- check on this before you drive!

Being married to a Scottish Lassie, I'm there for a visit every two or three years. My recent visit had us up to the Aviemore area once again. We love it there. We stayed in one of the A-frame cabins on the property. It was about a ten minute walk to the main hotel building, which we were okay with as there were families with children running all around the main hotel building. The cabins were perfect for four of us who wanted to sleep, read and catch up with each other. Cabins are well laid out and nicely furnished. The Hilton Coylumbridge is outside of Aviemore by a little less than a mile. That meant any meals with alcohol in Aviemore meant one of us had to be a designated driver. We did take advantage of the on-site restaurant our last night, so all four of us were able to eat, drink and be merry. We will be back.

Wow!!! Lewis makes this place amazing. His customer service and willingness to help and share information is awesome. We went into town and have eaten there but the fish and chips and Louis service is unbelievable. I have traveled the world and wasn't expecting such great service.

During the main season, the kids entertainment is excellent, and one of the reasons it's been voted 'most child friendly hotel in Scotland' in previous years. Most of the hotel has been refurbished in the last couple of years, and the family suites have two rooms. The food has always been excellent when we've visited. I would however say that the changing rooms for the swimming pool are now in need for refurbishment.

This was one of the BEST holidays I've ever had. If you want a hotel and facilities for kids of all ages in Scotland, then this is your venue. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool and kids club (also a mini soft-play area). Entertainment is very good too. Outside within the campus is a large soft-play area and separate crazy golf area. It also has a trim-trail, and go-karting for the older kids as well as a play-ground. The added bit to this part of the world is it's right next to the Cairngorms resort with its skiing, sledging, pony-trekking and adult and junior fishing lakes. There's also things like archery and rafting with a leisure pool and Adventure park locally too. It's just too much.. perfect. The scenery is overwhelming too (especially the train ride from Edinburgh to Aviemore) and bicycles are available to hire. If you are going by train a stop-over in Edinburgh on the way there and back is quite a nice treat for mummy too. One thing though, when I went there was no cash-machine on the campus so you may have to go into Aviemore to get more funds, this is because there are some cash only facilities. Highly recommended for the family.

A bit outside of Aviemore (30 minutes walk) is the huge Hilton Hotel. The booked room (Double Deluxe) is really great and big enough for two. The bathroom is freshly renovated and really comfortable. We used to book just the breakfast which lasts untill 11 and has a lot of varieties in it. The lounge is lovely and there are often live music or other events like bbq etc. The hotel is really family friendly and has loads of possible out and indoor activites in the near range. There is now also a cash machine in the lobby btw. Clear recommondation!

Well, if you like your desert with hair in it, paper thin walls and a trickle of a shower this is the place for you. Unfortuantely this wasn't my cup of tea. They did have a very big tv in the room though always have to look at the positives.

The most family friendly hotel in Scotland and the holiday lodges give even more room, but still allow use of the hotel's facilities
