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

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.
