A beautiful hotel. The staff are friendly and excellent at customer service. The palace itself is very impressive and well appointed. However, the rooms themselves are a little dated, the beds are less comfortable, and the pillows are flat. However, I highly recommend for people visiting Pitlochry.

The property is located a 15-minute walk from the Pitlochry Station and is located on top of a hill. I would suggest taking a taxi if you have luggage. The property itself is beautiful and clean. Our room was quiet even though it was located near to the pub. We enjoyed walking the grounds as well. Lots of nice walking trails. The location is walkable to town and to the Blair Distillery which made things easy.
