"It was such a relaxing few days. The staff were so friendly. Accommodation was special and although this time we didnt have a view it didn't take away from the room itself. The food was delicious and the ample breakfasts were a treat. Easy walk into Pitlochry and Festival Theatre very close by. "

"The hotel was in a good location, a bit run down and dated. Hairdryer in the room didn’t work, the window sil was loose and the sofa bed was horrific! My 2 kids had terrible sleeps both nights. I wouldn’t say it was worth the £355 we paid for 2 nights. We’d expect much better quality for that price. "

"All facilities was clean , staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good "

"Breakfast was excellent room was absolutely amazing. Clean and spacious. "

"Going with kids, good. Going for any other reason I would look elsewhere. Went for a long weekend with family of 4. Check in process was annoying pestering emails to complete online check in when the hotel had my details via hotel.com booking. When I arrived i couldn’t even use the ‘express online check in’ and had to queue. For dinner we had to wait 15m then another 15m just to place an order at the wood shed bar. We decided to go to main bar than chance being asked to wait for a 3rd time. Ordered food at the bar (venison burger) and didn’t realise the table next to us had order the same and left more than half the meal. I’m not fussy but I couldn’t even eat half. We never ate in the hotel again, during the stay. Lots of good local option that is a short walk or drive. Positive the drinks were well priced and quality of beer and wine was really good. Along with the price of the room and location for time of year. Amenities for families are really good. The kids had fun with the disco, arcade, swimming, softplay and golf. A little disappointing there is an extra charge for the golf and softplay for guests. There are other hotels in Scotland we have been too with softplay who don’t charge. If we were coming back to the region with family, all things considered we would stay again. "

"Great location, friendly staff"

" Very nice staff serving breakfast. Clean functional hotel"

"Really lovely locally owned and run hotel. Our kingsize upgraded room was stunning, and massive. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The homemade shortbread in the room was incredible, and they even refilled it when we scoffed it all! Breakfast was tasty, and the hot food was made to order. The on-site gym “The Unit” was really great and fully included in the room rate, which felt like a treat! They are clearly modernising the hotel to an high standard, and as far as we saw only the room corridors and stairs were still to be upgraded. The parking was free and plentiful, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. All the staff were exceptionally lovely & friendly (with the one exception of the older gent who checked us in who treated us like an inconvenience, and shouldn’t really be working in hospitality) "

"Great hotel and great location. The rooms, staff and food were all good, would definitely recommend 👌 "
