Best stay thus far in Scotland. Beautiful hotel, clean spacious rooms (we had a family room and it was absolutely perfect) and no shortage of spaces to spread out and enjoy a beverage, the scenery and/or simply relax after one of the many hikes Pitlochry offers. Son took advantage of he gym and sauna. Wish we had booked a second night here. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely family 2 night stay. Free parking. The pool , jacuzzi,sauna,gym were good. Rooms a bit cold, but portable radiators were provided. If you book dinner, bed and breakfast you are restricted to a separate 3 course menu, with no option to choose from other menu without being charged. A better idea would be allowance from normal menu. All in all a good stay with good staff.

I really liked this hotel. It has the faded glamour of a Victorian Manor House. It needs updating as it is a bit tatty in places. However, the staff were lovely, it's very convenient for Pitlochry and the restaurant was excellent and good value. They have a pool but we didn't try it

Very average. No charm or character. Tired rooms and communal areas. If you get a deal its handy for pitlochry and exploring, the pool is acceptable for families.

Lovely hotel and very friendly helpful staff. Food in the bar was delicious and served lovely and hot. Nice relaxed feel about it, comfortable and spacious seating areas to chill and enjoy a few drinks and good food. Breakfast also very good, some things a bit cold but that’s the challenge of it being a buffet. Nevertheless very tasty, good quality and value for money. Didn’t get round to using the pool but next time …
