We had a lovely spacious room in this beautiful hotel. The staff were all attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was exceptional and everywhere was spotlessly clean.

Wonderful hotel in scenic Pitlochry. Our room was delightful and the bed was soooo comfortable. The breakfast room was beautiful. The sitting room off of the lobby was so warm and cozy with the fireplace burning. Great location. Breakfasts are all cooked to ordered. Excellent food but slow. We loved Pitlochary and hope to come back.

Happy guests
Had a wonderful stay. Staff were super friendly and you felt they genuinely wanted to make your stay special. The location was super with fantastic views from the balcony. Booked 1 evening meal in the restaurant but wished we’d booked 2. Would definitely stay there again.

I was assured a refund when I contacted them about canceling the second night of our stay (7 days before). The refund was denied - they didn’t even give a partial refund. Very bad business practice.

The hotel is in a built up area however this doesnt take away from the beauty of it. Its been left alone apart from decoration which has been done well and sympthetically

Incredible dining experience! Dinner was amazing. Breakfast delicious also. Wonderful staff/service. Room was very clean and had all necessary amenities in a somewhat tight room with a queen bed. Lovely how they have guests together in the living room prior to dinner service.
One concern was we arrived 20 minutes early to check in and we’re promptly told our room wasn’t ready and maybe we could take a walk into town. That was fine with us but it was done, sadly, in an unwelcoming manner
