Fabulous Quirky Hotel !

Fabulous gem in the centre of Pitlochry. We had the small double which was fine for the one night. My parents had the larger double & huge bed. Lovely Highland Soap toiletries in the toilets. The staff were really lovely and attentive. Fantastic breakfast the following morning. It would have been good to have the option of fresh fruit.
Agnes, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Never again

Not as expected attick room which was at the end of what could only be described as a Rabbit warren. A new concept to me is they do not make up the room unless you ask no hot water or heating on second night Staff on the bar were very good not so sure about reception. Would not stay again.

Lovely Hotel in Prime Location within town and great food and drink. Well worth an option in a very popular tourist hot spot... Would def stay again
Graham, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth the money

Nice hotel, but the description on the website does not informs that the hotel has a separate facility where the rooms are located, so you have to check in, get out of the building, walk 50 meters, enter another building and go up to the room by stairs without any help from the staff. The room was very small, with a even smaller window and a even smaller TV (wich I would call a pc monitor). The bathrrom was small and not very well designed, so you can not use the toilet and have the door open at the same time, wich is terrible considering the bathroom does not have a window. Confortable bed makes it better. The breakfeast is weak, with almost zero choices from the buffet; the kitchen made breakfeast, on the other hand, was really good. Overall, does not worth the money.
