Stayed 3 nights from 29th April 2022. Could not fault the stunning hotel, massive room with scenic view, quiet but central location, friendly staff, fab food and general welcome! Nothing is too much trouble for the family who run and our 4 poster bed was so comfortable we wanted to bring it home! Pitlochry is beautiful, with so many quaint shops and eateries, the surrounding walks are breathtaking and well worth the effort! Would stay again!

Old fashioned Hotel, needs a bit of work done to it. They were doing work in one of the lounges as there was stepladders and workers stuff in it when we were there. Our room was in the 'new' wing, it was OK. Breakfast wasn't anything to talk about and on our first morning we were the only people in the dining room! Hotel was very quiet although lots of other hotels in the area were full (that's why we had to stay there).
Dinner at the restaurant was very basic so we decided not to eat there. Bar/lounge closed at 10pm to residents, and there was a 3.50tray charge to your room for glasses and ice. Don't think we'd go back to this hotel and for a couples break I wouldn't recommend it. We had meals and drinks in town and so can highly recommend Mackays and Victoria's for food and drinks.

This is a lovely traditional, family run hotel. Comfortable bedrooms, very good food all in a superb location. Pitlochry is charming little town in the middle of beautiful scenery, plenty of walking and interesting places to explore. The town like most in the UK has suffered from the pandemic but the town is going full out to rebuild it's tourist economy. Easy stroll to shops, railway station and amenities and attractions from the Dundarach Hotel. Popular with old and young and all guaranteed a warm welcome. Truly recommended.

We spent three nights here and only have positive things to say about it. The owners are very nice friendly people and will try to accommodate most residents request. Set in a beautiful location, it the perfect place for a relaxing break. The rooms have everything you'd reasonably need and a big plus was that there were three chairs in total in each room which gets a big thumbs up from me. The food was of a very high standard. I recommend this hotel. Good value for money.
