Always a delight!
Pros:

Always a delight to stay at Craigielaw Golf Club. Comfortable, kept spotlessly clean by the amazing housekeeping team, really friendly staff and a peaceful, relaxing environment! The restaurant is very good, with wonderful views. Breakfasts are more than adequate with something for everyone. I love it - despite not being a golfer!

Cons:

There's nothing to dislike at Craigielaw, in my opinion!

Tiny adjustments to get back to great
Pros:

The location works for us and the golf is a bonus. The views from the rooms and restaurant are great at any time of the day. Parking is plentiful. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast format has changed in recent years. It used to be served at the table but has now switched to a buffet. This is generally OK but on 1 morning, it was not replenished regularly and quite a few guests were complaining. The tureens were not really warm so waiting for new items meant the food already on plates went cold very quickly. This is a pity because everything else was so good!
