8/10 Good

Lovely hotel enjoyed the facilities service could have been better very slow at times the exception was one member of staff (Dylan) who worked very hard to cater to the needs of the guests and his manner was excellent.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love Pitlochry and McKays is the perfect location.
Corinne, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was amazing, lovely big comfy super king bed and huge bathroom. The imcluded breakfast was also great. Only drawbacks are the live music at the weekend is extremely noisy and goes on till around midnight. The street noise can also be an issue with the window open which you will want as the room can get quite hot. Overall, very nice place but the lively surroundings bring it down a notch.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great bar although a tad expensive. Rooms are warm and comfortable. Restaurant is good but can be busy. Staff friendly and helpful. Limited parking at rear. Great position on the main road in the middle of town. Visited a few times and will return.
Gordon, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the cottage for one night, and wish we had time for more. Everything was better than we hoped.
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel. Newly renovated. Ceilings are very low - if you over 6 feet, you may be uncomfortable. Shower is C- for UK. Very low water pressure. Arrived late so restaurant was closed.
Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel, clean, great location, food was lovely and friendly staff. The only reason I put 4 was the room was so hot couldn’t sleep

sara, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had an excellent stay. Service was excellent
Stacey, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly staff. Room seemed newly decorated, not overly big but king size comfortable bed, nice bright bathroom. Only downside was ill fitting curtains which caused sunlight to enter bedroom a bit earlier than necessary! Not a major complaint - maybe blinds would work better. Parking could be a problem, spaces for around 10-12 cars, first come first served. On a busy main road through Pitlochry so only half hour parking available there. We did find a side street a short walk away where we parked safely overnight. Breakfast had plenty choices, served to your table by friendly staff.
Fiona, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Very friendly hotel. Staff are excellent. Good that they allow dogs.
Colin, 3-night trip

Stayed for a night while on our honeymoon trip. They let us check in early and we were able to park with no issues. Beautiful area and friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable.

Comfortable room. Good choice of dining and reservable well into the evening. Room would have benefitted from more effective blackout as street light outside
