On accommodation alone, 5 stars. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Restaurant was good but just that. Service excellent but food unexceptional. Okay but I've had better. A lot of it felt bought in rather than developed and cooked on site.

Great Property
Overall this was a great property. The 1br suite was large and well equipped. The kids loved the two large pools and ping pong room. The location was great and service was exceptional. Highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer.

Nice. But no breakfast.
It’s a very nice hotel. The pool has been redone and is much better but changing rooms pretty average.
Public areas nice.
But. No breakfast at a hotel like this is absolutely outrageous. They offer a bag of bread to toast yourself in your room.

We stayed in one of the lodge suites - 2 adults 2 kids. Beautiful room in a lovely building. Disappointing was the breakfast options. Hot breakfast only available from 10 am. A reasonably priced (for hiilton!) continental breakfast was available for delivery between 8 and 9 if you pre booked the night before (we missed that detail)). Another annoying detail was check out at 10 am! 10 am on a Sunday morning is pretty brutal!

Gym & wet areas werenice as was room
Front Desk staff was only good for twlling you what they couldn’t do: get a taxi, get an extended checkout, find a shuttle service, etc.
Housekeeping did minimal cleanup - left kitchen dirty, next to nothing in room cleaned.
Will NEVER come back here!

Dated
The place was nice but dated. If you order breakfast, know in advance that they bring you a packet of coffee, not a pot of coffee. We already had free packets of coffee in the room. They did remove the $3.50 charge when I asked them to, although not happily.

Expensive
At £220 a night a few simple things like robes, biscuits and even a disposable show cap might have been included. We stayed in a very nice room in pitlochry the next night for just under £100, basically we felt the hotel was expensive.

Not quite what expected
Didn't know when I booked that room has kitchenette and if wanted anything to eat before 10 am it was a case of make it yourself. Evening meals were delicious and good value.

Relaxing stay near beautiful views
The Hilton was a beautiful stay. We booked 4 nights in a suite. The suite had 2 bathrooms, a refrigerator, microwave, 'kitchen' sink and a living space. It was private and quite. It is a great location just outside of the town and near hiking trails. The only downside was that the pool was closed for renovations during our stay. We did get a massage, it was in the 'spa' which felt more like an extra bonus room that they set up a space.
Overall, our stay was relaxing and very enjoyable! I would recommend staying here.
