Had a fantastic 2 night stay for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our lodge was lovely, a bit tired but spotlessly clean with stunning views overlooking the Loch. The staff were all very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. On arrival we were greeted by Arthur the Concierge, he was so lovely, helpful & extremely knowledgeable about the Castle and surrounding areas. His colleague Mike was also lovely & very helpful. The reception staff were equally lovely and we were welcomed with a very nice wee dram of whiskey which went down well. The food in the restaurant was delicious, we didn’t have one complaint. We used the Spa facilities and the staff there were also first class just a shame the cleanliness in the showers and spa bath weren’t.

An amazing couple of nights at Fonab Castle. The staff were outstanding - so attentive and kind. Staff are a real asset and made our stay all the more enjoyable. We enjoyed using the spa facilities. Breakfast was delicious. Dined in the restaurant which was fantastic. Fab chat with the concierges when coming and going; and they were always on hand to help. They made my two children feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.

Liked lovely man that greets you on arrival and helped with our bags to the top floor when the lift was out of action. The room was spacious and very comfortable (the penthouse suite) however was freezing! No one thought to heat the room for our arrival?? First couple of hours kept my coat on. An engineer then arrived after asking reception twice to fix the issue. No toiletries for the bath - ixed to the wall by the sink out of reach. My husband told hotel it was a very special occasion a week or so before but absolutely no reference to this throughout the stay. That was a bit odd for a 5* hotel. The room wasnt cleaned after our first night despite asking for it to be done while we were out till 2pm and being assured it would be on our return. The spa is BASIC. Pool too cold to swim. Limited beds and crowded sauna/ steam room so stayed for 20 mins only. Treatment although lovely was not 90 mins. More like 75. And the noise from outside completely detracts from being in a zen like state! (£160 btw). Now the biggest issue is staffing. All are very very nice but theres just not enough so as a result service was so poor. Staff divulged they were working on days off to cover. The hotel was pretty full but owners clearly skimping on staffing costs which means that although a beautiful castle this is absolutely not 5 star service. So unfortunately left a bit deflated for what was an expensive weekend, not somewhere i would return sadly.

Fantastic room in the castle . Bar area in the evening lacked ambience. Given poor table for 65th birthday celebration at dinner but this was changed. I don’t think 4 mouthfuls of duck terrine starter is worth £18 although it was tasty. .

Overall a really great stay. Food, staff, surrounding areas were excellent but the room was very tired and underwhelming for a suite. Not worth the money and we wouldn't return, to the same suite anyway.

Luxury at its finest. Beautiful rooms, kind and attentive staff, wonderful food. Brilliant view of Loch. Staff go above and beyond to make your stay a 5 star one. And it’s February lol. Imagine the warmer seasons. Easy to get to and all the attraction in and around Pitlochry

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.
