5This was our 2nd stay at Kildonan Lodge – so we must like it! The weather on this visit wasn’t as kind as the previous stay, but the Kildonan certainly did everything possible to make the stay just as enjoyable.
As with our last visit we were greeted by our friendly Canadian who, again sorted out taxis and restaurant bookings on a busy Saturday evening before taking us to our rooms. All the members of staff showed this same level of helpfulness and did what they could to make us feel very welcome.
We stayed in the Lodge on both our visits and the rooms are everything we could want for our long weekend visits. This includes a small garden with table and chairs on those occasions when the sun did decide to show.
Other reviews have noted the hotels facilities and I can only agree with their comments regarding the cosy lounge, the honesty bar and elegant dining room.
The Kildonan is close to some excellent restaurants. This year we also had the option of dinner in the hotel. We did this on our last evening and the food and service were excellent.
Breakfast was delicious and the service was again friendly and helpful.
I’m not sure that I would want to walk to Edinburgh city centre - but the bus stop is very close, and the very frequent service costs only ?2.50 for a day ticket.
We definitely plan to stay again.
