The staff at the hotel are lovely, the breakfast was good, the gym/pool facilities were good. Parking at the hotel was excellent - the only downside is that the hotel is in need of a refurbishment - carpets in public areas are threadbare and patched, within the room they were stained and wrinkled and the bathroom could have done with an update but all in all it was an ok stay

Disappointing stay.

Very Disappointed. Tired, worn down surroundings. Dull colours, worn carpets, and generally not very welcoming. Room was drab, two wee windows (one didn't open) Couldn't get power at wall sockets but had that explained AT CHECKOUT -too late to find out-worked by second switch at door. Bathroom very dated. Broken tile. Came back into room to find a plumber repairing flush. Tho he was very polite I did get a fright to find someone in my room. Grounds need tidying and weeding

Enjoyed our stay. Great choice at breakfast and the 3 female staff were very efficient and helpful. Area round the hotel was a bit grubby and the inside was a bit dated and tired but didn’t affect our stay !

The bed was hard like concrete. It was so small and we could not even turn to lie on our backs, it was that small. We slept on our side, and it was so hard.

Dated and neglected

From the outside the hotel look very nice. However inside it is very dated and feels run down and neglected. The bed was very small and hard. The room was very basic and looked cheap! We had a terribbke nights sleep and woke stiff and achy! The staff were pleasant. I would not recommend this hotel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Really nice hotel grounds, close enough to walk into the village, but far enough to be quiet and tranquil in the evenings.

Ok but potential for better

Stately looking building from the outside. Check in didn’t feel particularly welcoming or friendly. Room was spacious but dated. Breakfast selection was poor and again staff unfriendly/didn’t want to be there! Shame as could be lovely but needs money spending & staff training.

The property is huge and quite run down in places but it can be seen that there is progress in tackling this so I wouldn't fault it.

The hotel is fantastic, so big and very roomy. Massively dog friendly which was main reason for booking. Pool facilities etc great for rainy days. The one drawback which comes with age, the floors are very creaky, you hear above and next door moving in room. If the creaky floors were dealt with then there is nothing to complain about. But even with that we would still stay there again on next visit to Pitlochry.
