We enjoyed our stay at the Palace. On one of our early sightseeing mornings, we left before breakfast was scheduled to be served. They set up a boxed meal for us that morning. A nice picturesque property.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed two great dinners, with all food hot and tasty. Good breakfast buffet too. Wish there was shuttle service back and forth to town, we would have even paid a fee. You can walk to town, but some guests may struggle. We did get free shuttle to train station on departure, which was much appreciated.

A luxury hotel that absolutely earns that title and meets the standard that you would expect. Even though the hotel property is not very far from the town of Pitlochry--walking into town and back is no great strain--the property envelopes you in calm and luxury. The woodland paths create distance between you and the mad world. The lobby full of sofas and stuffed chairs invites a lingering stay--a book and an afternoon are all you need. We stayed in a fairly basic room, but it was immaculate and luxurious, with lush and peaceful views down the valley. The staff are exceptional--we were greeted with samples of the hotel's whisky liqueur, which itself was perfect. We enjoyed the "gym" facilities downstairs. Breakfast was absolutely exceptional. After our travels, it was like walking into another world entirely. And the building itself is beautiful. I can't say enough about the experience.

Reception was chaotic, no note of my name, no room until they sorted themselves out. Given I had booked 4 rooms very disappointing. Bar and food very expensive. Better menu in the bar than in restaurant. Fine dining prices in restaurant but not food to match. On departure given a bill for my room!! It was prepaid to yourselves months previous! Not impressed. Many new staff with a lack of training. We will not be returning.
