"A lovely, clean, newly refurbished room. Plenty parking and welcoming staff. A good breakfast."

"Excellent value for money for a one night stay."

"Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. "

"A 20+ minute wait to check in meant our stay didn’t get off to a great start. Unfortunately the noise from dogs barking inside the hotel both while we were trying to relax with a drink and later into the evening made it difficult to unwind and even to fall asleep after a long day of walking. This wasn’t well managed and impacted our overall experience. On a more positive note, the pool facilities were good and the room itself was comfortable. However, we were also disappointed that cash payment wasn’t an option. Overall, due to these issues, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you’re prepared for that kind of experience like ours."

"Staff very friendly and great atmosphere. Breakfast was great and very filling"

"Breakfast was really nice, lots of variety, room was large with plenty of water, teaxand coffee for our needs. Staff very friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend the hotel to friends and family."

"It was such a relaxing few days. The staff were so friendly. Accommodation was special and although this time we didnt have a view it didn't take away from the room itself. The food was delicious and the ample breakfasts were a treat. Easy walk into Pitlochry and Festival Theatre very close by. "

"The hotel was in a good location, a bit run down and dated. Hairdryer in the room didn’t work, the window sil was loose and the sofa bed was horrific! My 2 kids had terrible sleeps both nights. I wouldn’t say it was worth the £355 we paid for 2 nights. We’d expect much better quality for that price. "

"Really lovely locally owned and run hotel. Our kingsize upgraded room was stunning, and massive. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The homemade shortbread in the room was incredible, and they even refilled it when we scoffed it all! Breakfast was tasty, and the hot food was made to order. The on-site gym “The Unit” was really great and fully included in the room rate, which felt like a treat! They are clearly modernising the hotel to an high standard, and as far as we saw only the room corridors and stairs were still to be upgraded. The parking was free and plentiful, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. All the staff were exceptionally lovely & friendly (with the one exception of the older gent who checked us in who treated us like an inconvenience, and shouldn’t really be working in hospitality) "
