Excellent location. Hotel overall is ok for the money paid. Nothing extravagant. Avoid the breakfast though as it is very poor and basic.

Good, nice room in the main building, comfy beds. Only complaints: the swinging door slamming outside room 202 was loud and woke us up in the early morning, and there were no lightbulbs in the bed side lamps. Other than those things, eveyrhing was great.

Hotel needs updating… It feels very tired. My room was what looked like an old dilapidated shed in the back of the hotel. Room was as clean as possible… But rug looked ancient, side table was put together with plywood and a white tablecloth. Three very large dining rooms with absolutely nobody in them. Would not recommend staying here.

In the Highlands walking. Looking forward to a hot bath / shower and drying wet clothes at the Hotel. None could be achieved. Boiler failure. Though this doesn't explain why the electric heater didn't work. No discount was offered, a free breakfast had to be requested. It would be a bonus if the room's bathroom door didn't have to be forced over the carpet. However, good location and Indian food was served at 20:30 in the adjoining pub. Dunkeld itself is a Highland gem of a village.

There was no signage for the car park as it was through a narrow gap behind the hotel. I was given the key to the room, which I was told was through a door to the right of reception. On going through the door I found I was outside in the poring rain with again no signage. I went back into the hotel and found a lovely lady who was cleaning, who I asked where room 225 was. She took me back outside and showed me my room was in the wooden single story building opposite, the entrances to these “cabins” was around the back of this building opposite a 7 ft wall. If this was explained/sgnposted I could have found it.

I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.
