Stayed for 3 nights in February. The castle and the Woodland Suites (where we stayed) were stunning. The staff were incredible and nothing was a hassle. Mark welcomed us immediately and gave us a very helpful tour of the property. EV charging was free to use - which is becoming increasingly rare even amongst 5* hotels. Breakfast was hearty, tasty and the service perfect. Dinner was equally great. Despite Pitlochry having options to choose from, you’re really in the best spot at Fonab and do not need to leave at all. I am loathed to criticise any part of our stay, but if I were being super critical, the spa facilities were a little tired. Though that said, there was some external refurbishment being conducted, so perhaps that is shortly extending to the interior? We were not staying to take advantage of the spa, so it didn’t bother us too much. Overall a fantastic stay.

Fabulous short break
Fonab Castle is in a beautiful setting. Easy access to other Perthshire towns and a short pleasant walk into Pitlochry . The staff are fantastic and make you feel very welcome.Concierge go above and beyond in helping anyway they can and it was much appreciated. Sandman restaurant closed so ate in 1892 restaurant which had good choice of food and beautifully presented. Breakfast was cooked to order which was lovely.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hopefully next time we can stay for longer.

Very good but with minor issue
Lovely relaxing stay. Excellent staff always willing to help. Concierges were especially helpful and proactive. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately the shower in our room was faulty and could not be fixed and although we were offered another room the length of our stay didn't warrant that. Bit disappointing for an otherwise very good hotel.
