"We had a great stay here. The staff was very kind and accommodating. The rooms were older but well maintained and clean. Perfect location walkable to all the shops and dining options. We weren’t able to use the pool and spa but they appeared very nice."
Nethybridge Hotel
8/10 Good
"We haf a comfortable 1 night stay. The Room was cosy, clean and tidy a nice comfortable bed. The staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. The only reason we put 3 instead of 5 is just because the building inside and out is in need of work. But the Hospitality is great. We recommend it."
Craiglynne Hotel
8/10 Good
"Very nice hotel with a lovely room and a good breakfast. Shower was leaking at the hose connection which resulted in a poor flow from the shower head"
Coylumbridge Resort Hotel
8/10 Good
"Stayed for two night with our two and four year olds, breakfast as part of the booking. Very well set up for kids and families, especially younger ones. Get what you pay for. Breakfast was super busy between 7am and 8am as hotel has coach trips staying over which stretches it to it's capacity, no coffee cups available and no bread etc. Went for breakfast laster second morning and was more manageable. Location very good and pool area great for the kids. Nice location down by river behind football pitch if you can scale the incline."
The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel
8/10 Good
"Thank you to the staff at the Pitlochry Hydro for making a fuss of my parents who were staying to celebrate their Diamond Wedding anniversary . They had a lovely stay, enjoyed using the facilities and exploring Pitlochry."
