Balmoral Arms
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful hotel and staff ! Beautiful rooms, great location!"
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."
Hilton Grand Vacations Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside
8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful and the amenities such as the pool, workout room, etc. are excellent. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the finer dining restaurant. The service was great at check in, check out and the restaurant. Our room was extremely spacious and very nice. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the sitting area very nice. The big negative is there is no air conditioning. I guess I should have assumed this since the building is so old but we have stayed at older places that have been renovated and there is air conditioning. The hallways and common places in the hotel are so comfortable and it feels as though there is air conditioning there but not in the rooms."
Nethybridge Hotel
8/10 Good
"great place with nice bar/restaurant, good parking - nice location. maybe a tad dated, e.g. couldnt figure out how to use the heating (which was very old) and the curtains made no attempt to block light."
Coylumbridge Resort Hotel
8/10 Good
"No complaints apart from a tardy check in."
Fisher's Hotel
8/10 Good
"Conveniently located in centre of town. Large room & comfortable beds. Food was reasonable although vegetables very 'al dente' and even when we asked for them to be cooked softer they returned just as 'hard' Not everyone likes their veg served in this way!!! Parking was also an issue. My aunt has a disabled blue badge yet we could not get a guaranteed parking place in the hotel car park for the first night. Had to leave the car in a public car park down the road. Not ideal as she uses a rollator walking frame."
Westlands of Pitlochry
10/10 Excellent
"Super clean, amazing breakfast, great location. "
Pine Trees Hotel
8/10 Good
"Both the hotel and the staff were excellent, I particularly liked Ravi the hotel manager. My only gripe was the lack of thought for us vegans.. the menu made it feel like veganism was an afterthought and the very generous free pantry didn’t have any to offer us."
Craigvrack Hotel & Restaurant
10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was well located and the restaurant is truly superb. Well worth the stay."
