Waiting to return

Delighted with our first visit to this hotel. Staff were so friendly and available at any time. Cleanliness was a priority. Nothing too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome. Lovely big shower and large comfortable bed. Will certainly return to this gem.

Fantastic weekend stay

Fantastic weekend stay, lovely room with very comfortable bed, ate 1 night in the restaurant which was delicious (as was the breakfast) & excellent value for money. The hotel also went above & beyond with covid precautions; lots of hand sanitizer stations, toiletries, tea/coffee etc & tv remote in the room individually sealed. Also to note I thought the hotel is much nearer the town centre than it appears on the map. Will be our 1st choice for our next stay in Pitlochry.

Pleasant Staff, clean and very warm, we had to turn the radiators off and sleep with the windows open. Confusion over breakfast, apparently you have to tick that option when booking....otherwise it will cost you a whopping £12 per person for breakfast!! Certainly not worth £12
