I had a mainly enjoyable stay at the hotel, though it did have its ups and downs. The service was fantastic, thanks to attentive and friendly staff who truly made my experience special. The rooms were comfortable, but the noise levels were quite high during my visit, which was disappointing. Dining options were varied and of good quality, especially the breakfast, but some aspects could be improved to make the experience smoother. Overall, I felt the hotel provided great value for money with a charming atmosphere.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff's attentiveness was a highlight, and the spa treatments were excellent, the room I stayed in left much to be desired.

I had a fantastic stay at the Carrickdale Hotel, where the welcoming atmosphere truly set the tone for my visit. The spacious, clean rooms offered breathtaking mountain views, and the dining experience was exceptional, particularly the steak dinner. However, while the facilities and spa were impressive, I did feel a bit rushed during breakfast service, which detracted from an otherwise lovely experience.
