Nice room and spa facilities although quite small so would not be ideal if busier. The easy walk into Pitlochry was very convenient. I would rate this hotel 5* as a lot of the little touches I would expect were missing. The service was lacking vs other 5* hotels.

After speaking with the general manager regarding the price we paid for the room I felt she was try to make me feel guilty for their pricing mistake, even although this was our 3rd stay this year. She was not very pleasent to speak with. As long as this GM is in place we will venture to other hotels.

All staff were friendly, professional and genuinely lovely. Gorgeous spa. Food was really tasty and good choice.

Room was perfect, warm and cosy. However, restaurant experience at dinner and breakfast was quits disappointing. Dinner service was very unorganised and portions were tiny. Breakfast was extremely slow and the cooked food was poor.
