Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was comfortable and very cozy, with a good shower. It was lovely looking out onto the car park. The staff went out of their way to show us amazing hospitality, although they could be pushy about dining options. The location was enjoyable, close to town, although it was on top of a hill. The dining experience, while excellent, had limited options at first but improved on the second day. The facilities were well-kept, and the price was fair overall.
The hotel is located uphill from the town center, offering easy access to Pitlochry's attractions like the golf course and Ben Vrackie. I enjoyed my stay but found the rooms a bit small and could hear the laundry in the morning. The staff showed us around town but seemed a bit cold at check-in.
The hotel had friendly and helpful staff, and an excellent breakfast, but the rooms were a bit tired and in need of updating. They were simply decorated, clean, fresh, and warm.
