Lovely hotel situated in the small town of Pitlochry. Spent 3 days in early May 2022 and have nothing but praise for the hotel. Beautifully appointed room with lovely view. Breakfast and dinners of a really high quality. Plenty of food choice and extensive wine list. Staff helpful and pleasant too. Highly recommended.

Such a lovely Hotel. The staff were so professional and welcoming and the food is amazing. We loved the garden room we stayed in with its own private garden. A great location too with only a short walk to the centre of Pitlochry. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

It's a lovely hotel, food was fantasic and the service staff were attentive. It would have been 5* if we hadn't had a bizarre booking experience. We called to see if we could amend a booking, we were told no, we called back an hour later with another suggestion and were told we hadn't called in the first place?!? Strange!

Truly superb. Extremely comfortable - log fires burning, great food both at dinner & breakfast, and a lovely well equipped bedroom with a stunning view. Really helpful and friendly staff who are well trained and work as a team. We look forward to returning before too long.
