Victorian Elegance Meets Modern Comfort in the Scottish Countryside

Nestled in 10 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the DoubleTree By Hilton Dunblane Hydro blends Victorian charm with modern comforts. Just a short walk from Dunblane Railway Station and a quick drive to Stirling’s top concert venues, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the Trossachs. Whether you're in town for a gig or a weekend escape, it's a stylish and relaxing base for your trip.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Dunblane Station only a 15-minute walk away, getting to gigs in Stirling, Glasgow, or even Edinburgh is a breeze. After a night of music, unwind in the peaceful countryside setting, far from city noise. The 12:00 PM checkout lets you sleep in after a late show, and the on-site leisure club makes relaxing easy. Free parking is a bonus if you're driving between venues.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a scenic pre- or post-concert hangout

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant, The Kailyard by Nick Nairn, serves up elegant Scottish cuisine—perfect for a pre-show dinner or celebratory post-gig meal. Two cozy lounges offer fresh coffee and light bites, and the cocktail bar mixes up classy drinks till late. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the late-night lounges and nearby eateries in Dunblane offer plenty of options. Breakfast is available and worth waking up for—even after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more toward relaxing than raving, its cocktail bar is a classy spot for a nightcap. Head into Stirling or hop on a short rail ride to Glasgow for buzzing nightlife, live music bars, and clubs. Then return to the hotel for a peaceful night’s sleep.
