Cluny Hill Hotel

N/A

there are no en suite bathrooms

Huge characterful building with cavernous rooms all set in fantastic countryside, great forest walk just behind and also close to the town for shops / transport etc.. Fantastic helpful staff, super comfortable bed / mattress, very quite for a great nights sleep. Great place to stay, highly recommended and very interesting!!

I was excited to be able to stay once more in this beautiful old house where i had stayed in total 6 weeks in 1985, 1 week in 1986 and a further 2 weeks in 1988 visiting the Findhorn Foundation Community. This hotel is currently in transition, and may not meet everyone's expectation, but we were delighted to see it still so unchanged. The check in was very relaxed and friendly for me and my family. We could explore the building unhindered, as long as we were respectful, which felt like a time warp. Warm, comfy beds, lots of ot water for a bath which my partner enjoyed, and my grandchildren had a ball. You can bring some snacks and have breakfast in the rooms, possibly even in the large old dining room. There is no catering, but kettle, tea and coffee tray. Bathrooms are shared, but there were not many guests, and it felt like having a private one. For five of us much cheaper than a four bed in Edinburgh Youth Hostel. Recommended for All who seek a cheaper alternative and more freedom to B&B, or to all others who would like to once more stay in Cluny Hill Hotel/College, which still features many designs done by the former community. I am curious how it develops. Best of luck and success to the new owners!

Because there currently still is a real lack of furniture and soft fittings in the rooms and corridors, there is a lot of echo, so it can be a little noisy when people talk, or your partner snores. Carpets in the corridors cushion the walking, which is good, and there is no noise form other rooms. Decor in the new rooms is a little too functional; more wood or carpet and curtains would suit the old style better, but maybe this is just for transition.

My family and I decided to book this hotel for 1 night after we attended an event close by. We read the reviews and knew what to expect. We booked 2 rooms for a family of 5 which where located next to each other. Clean bedding, towels, toiletries and coffee/tea facilities were provided in each room. The rooms were cheap and done the job. The 3 kids enjoyed themselves. We collected a chippy for dinner and ate in the hotel. Afterwards we walked around the building and grounds. The kids enjoyed the tree swings. Advice for others. Read the reviews. You get what you pay for. The building is old and quirky and the stay is what you make of it.

No tvs in the room. Wifi wasn’t provided. Obviously shared bathroom and showers but we expected that anyway for an old Victorian building.
