Lovely property - great pool and close enough to walk into the town of Pitlochry. Only complaint was the temperature of our twin room - couldn’t get the window to stay open and room was far too hot.

I thought the hotel building was an excellent example of Victorian hospitality, however, there were parts with were beginning to look a little worn, some carpets were wearing quite badly, but overall we loved the size of the room and the lovely bed.

A nice looking hotel with nice amenities and grounds, short 10 minute walk to the town so easily accessible for all your needs. Hotel is a little dated but room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was great, lots of options from cooked English to cereal, fruit and lots of gluten free and vegan options, staff were also very nice and accommodating

All good. The shower was a bit disappointing though. It worked and was hot. But a climbing into the bath shower and not much force. The hotel though was very good, as were all the staff. So 4/5.
