Room was comfortable, staff were friendly and breakfast was good. The window was open and a chunk of wood held it in place ,luckily it was warm the night we stayed because we couldn't move the window or the chunk of wood.

This hotel was good value for money. It requires some upgrading as chairs are the worse for wear. Food at the hotel was good and the buffet breakfast again good value. Should install electric charging points as several guests were driving electric vehicles.

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.

Liked: Amenities
Reception was ok but language barrier made things difficult, even though English is our native language. The room was large but the bed was small. The bedrooms, bathrooms and corridors are looking tired, corners, skirtings and edges are in need of a clean. The pool is great, lovely and warm. The wet change bags should be in changing room not on pool side, none of the lockers lock.
