Most of my life decisions were made in this hotel. From choosing what Uni I went to and my husband proposing to me here so it holds a lot of good memories . I even decided to apply for a job whilst taking High tea here! I love the facilities, and the view from our room was breathtaking. The service is impeccable ! Worth every penny ! We will be back for many years to come.

Our stay at this resort was simply perfect, an experience we will never forget. The property stands out for its magnificence, warmth, and impeccable cleanliness, making everything incredibly comfortable and relaxing. Our room, which we affectionately nicknamed “the palace,” was a true marvel: spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully furnished. The living room and bedroom were large, bright, and welcoming, while the spotless cleanliness made us feel at ease from the very first moment. The bathroom, also spacious and immaculately clean, added another level of comfort and quality to our stay. Another highlight is the resort’s location, nestled in a quiet and breathtakingly beautiful area. The serene atmosphere and stunning surroundings made every moment a true delight, offering a sense of peace and harmony that is hard to find elsewhere. In conclusion, this resort is a little slice of paradise, highly recommended for anyone seeking a vacation full of relaxation and beauty. We can’t wait to return!

I think it's the first time I'm giving a hotel a full 10/10. I loved everything about The Raeburn. And as my friends and family would inform you I'm a very fastidious traveler. Location is not central- it's better than that. Reaburn is a brisk 10-min walk from all the hustle and bustle. It's got an amazing selection of cafes, restaurants, bookstores, knickknacks shops and more. The moment I stepped into the room my heart skipped a beat- I usually go for modern, sparsely decorated places but our room was an epitome of cosy comfort. It was pristinely clean. We enjoyed a spacious bathroom with a shower. My only regret is skipping breakfast- I had a long list of nearby cafes to test. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but it's money well spent. 100% would stay again.

    This is the second time we've stayed at Dalmahoy and we love this family friendly hotel and the facilities. The room was great and the hotel were able to provide a roll-away bed for our young child, free of charge. We enjoy the breakfast spread at Dalmahoy and the kids love the pool. We also make use of the quiet hour for adults in the evening to use the sauna. The cocktail bar was a lovely relaxing place to dine and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there after our swim. We'll definitely be back.
