Reviews
Rylee from orlandohotelsweb.net
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the beautiful Perthshire countryside. The hotel facilities were top-notch, including the spa and swimming pool. The parking facilities were ample and convenient. The location provided stunning views of the loch and there was plenty to do and see in this city. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options.
All good.
Kinsley from realsandiegohotels.com
We had a fabulous stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The upgraded room we stayed in had a stunning view of the loch. The spa facilities were great and we even had it to ourselves. The location was ideal, just a short walk into the town and plenty of walking trails nearby. We would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for a special occasion.
Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.
Grete Weber from hotelsinduesseldorf.net
The hotel's location was absolutely stunning, nestled along a loch with breathtaking views. I enjoyed taking a walk on the nearby trail and exploring the charming town. The staff were friendly and attentive, even going the extra mile to carry our suitcases. The food at the brasserie restaurant was outstanding, especially the fish dishes. The breakfast spread was also delicious with a variety of options to choose from.
Can't fault anything about it.
Noah Karlsson from bestlucernehotels.com
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was exceptional, right next to a beautiful loch. The staff was friendly and always ready to help. The rooms were well-appointed and clean. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel also had parking available, which was very convenient for us. We loved being able to walk to nearby attractions and the spa facility was a great addition to our stay.
Nothing to dislike.
Elena Fischer from colognebesthotels.net
I had the most amazing stay at this hotel. The location was absolutely stunning, with picturesque grounds and a breathtaking view of the loch. The new part of the hotel, where I stayed, had a balcony overlooking the loch, and I was treated to a beautiful sunset from there. The room had lovely little details like a Nespresso coffee machine, luxurious Thierry Mugler toiletries, and fluffy bath robes. The hotel's spa had no restrictions on timing, which was a welcome change from previous experiences. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me, with friendly and chatty bar and restaurant staff. The porter, with his tartan trousers, was particularly helpful and even shared some interesting history about the castle and Pitlochry. The hotel had delicious food in both restaurants, a great drinks list, and a menu for breakfast that was probably the best I've ever seen.
Not one thing.
