The hotel is in a lovely spot, and the breakfast was really fresh, and lots of choice. The hotel itself definitely needs upgrading. It felt tired. The rooms were also tired, clean enough, the bathroom had no lock on door and shower pressure was terrible. It was OK, bug dont think id stay again. Pitlochry itself is always fab, and really worth a visit.

The staff were very helpful but the hotel generally requires a bit of TLC as it was a bit tired and dated. It is in an excellent location and the staff were excellent but the place needs a tidy to bring it to the required standard to justify the price level

The breakfast was buffet style and there were plenty food for all types. The staff were all young and helpful. The rooms were clean but very basic and there waa no fridge. The meals were very nice for dinner time and the drinks were hotel prices as expected. The pool, sauna and jacuzzi were very clean and the morning times was quite quiet.
