Location and price
Dated and needs a really good refurb
Location close to main street. Clean, comfortable room.
The check in woman very miserable, impatient, mattresses stored in hallway, lift broken.
The location
No lift to third floor, very low ceiling in places meaning a lot of stooping and ducking.
Das Hotel von außen und der ansprechende Eingangsbereich, die optimale Lage, auf Probleme (kaputter Föhn und kalte Heizung) wurde sofort reagiert
Sehr kleines Zimmer, Baulärm im Flur, kurze Frühstückszeiten, instabiles WLAN, insgesamt ist das Hotel und der Poolbereich sehr in die Jahre gekommen
Centralt och fint med SPA delen.
Lite kyligt på rummet, handdukstorken fungerade inte. Damm på lister och bord…
Nice pool, good lounges, friendly staff
No more sauna
It was a last minute booking after a disaster pus start to our holiday, the original property was not somewhere you could stay if all I’ll say. However, Scotland spa hotel saved the day! The staff greeted us warmly, even let us check in early as they noticed I hadn’t slept (I must have looked awful lol) it was close to all shops, the staff were friendly and helpful, the spa was great and we had it to ourselves… next time we’ll get a treatment too! The beds are super comfy and I slept fully for the first night in a week!
Our room was at a corner so quite noisy with traffic but not a major deal (we sleep through most things). Breakfast was ok… people kept leaving the kids up in hot plates so by time you got to the front of the queue food was cold, little bit cramped but again staff very helpful when needed.
De locatie ten opzichte van het centrum was prima. Het ontbijt was prima.
De kamer en badkamer waren ronduit smerig.
Perfekt läge, vackra rum och lokaler. Fin utsikt, välstädat och underbart trevlig personal framför allt en kvinna som städade rum med lila hår var glad, hjälpsam och mycket trevlig!
Perfect location, our room was clean and comfortable with a nice view. The pool and steam room were good and plenty of onsite parking was a great bonus, will be back in the future.
Nothing really.
Lovely staff, great breakfast and overall a pleasant experience. Our room had a newly renovated bathroom and charming, traditional interior. The spa was also very nice, clean and not too crowded.
Nothing :)
Good location and good facilities
Location is great right in the middle of Pitlochry town. Breakfast is good with a wide selection of food available. I had requested a room with a bath which was available.
On arrrival there were no spaces left to park. As usual (as a single traveller) I was given a room with a horrible view. However none of this compared to a night with NO sleep. Just below my window was an extractor fan which continued all night long On/Off On/Off it was like torture you thought it had finished then it started again. When I spoke to the duty manager she knew all about it and explained that it was to do with the kitchen fridge.......Why would you put a guest in a room where you knew there was that level of noise???? Most of the bedroom furniture would be better on a bonfire.
The room was comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast was excellent
Had an issue with the heat. The radiator was turned on high, and could not get it to shut off. They called a maintenance person late in the evening, and he was able to unhook it.
Great staff! Great location!
Rooms need a refurb Breakfast is poor
Perfect location. Spa treatment was lovely. Nice staff.
Everything
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay again, breakfast was excellent in choice and quality.
Location and parking
Very poor quality hot breakfast -no choice of eggs other than fried or scrambled. Bedroom carpet stained. Needs also better bar/lounge area
Das Zimmer war geräumig und sehr gute Betten
Der Spabereich ist in die Jahre gekommen, die Umkleide für Frauen nicht nutzbar
5 minutes by foot from train station and bus stop, lovely personnel, the best breakfast buffet I had during my holidays in Scotland
Very well kept, beautiful flowers, excellent breakfast, pool was outstanding and very helpful staff.
Low water pressure in the shower.
Exellent location, parking on site, Good size room and really comfortable bed. Breakfast was really good, lots of choices.
Only slight problem was the shower, the water took ages to heat up and the water pressure was really bad.
Great central location in Pitlochry and good value for money considering the additional Spa facilities.
Location, Pitlochry was lovely and staff were very good and friendly
The decor was dated and in need of refreshing. As it was our 20th wedding anniversary i booked us in for treatments at the same time as there were 2 members of staff available to choose from online. When we arrived we were told that the hotel staff could not access the spa system to check so we would need to come to Reception at 9am to speak to spa staff. So I left my breakfast to go cold to ensure I spoke to someone only to find one booking was confirmed but not the other.I was told there was only 1 member of staff at the spa but when I managed to book a shorter treatment for myself the next morning it was a different member of staff?
Great location pool fabulous staff very helpful and kind breakfast lovely
Dinner in hotel
Estaba limpio, tenía buena ubicación y la cama era genial.
Tenía humedades la habitación, la del techo era bastante grande.
Good central location. Parking. Good selection breakfast.
Room was comfortable and clean. Just looking a little tired.
It was close to town. Breakfast was good.
It was really hot and the room was tired and aging. Didn’t dare go near the pool. The signage threatening to be made to mop the floors was off putting.
Buffet ok but 2nd day it was not hot ! Did not bother going again went to greggs.
Room by lift too noisey no sinage to say keep quite .
Every thing from how clean every where was, the character of the building, The location. The staff are amazing especially a young man Joseph who worked on the house keeping side he went above and beyond to cater to us. Everything was just perfect
Only the fact the bed was far to hard bit a conversation with The reception and Joseph from house keeping and we soon came to a solution which helped make our stay all the more perfect. The accessibility was great I am disabled and the effort that was made to make the bed more comfortable really meant a lot
Oud hotel met charme. Kamer met veel glas. Goede bedden. Kijk door de oudheid heen! Ook zwembad.
Gangen etc kunnen renovatie gebruiken.
Location was excelent. Nce breakfast, nice view from the room 202. Clean and confortable room, kingsize bad.
Nothing
Room was lovely - beds comfortable and clean Breakfast had a really good choice - catered for people with different intolerances i.e Almond milk etc. Location was fantastic just a short walk into the centre of Pitlochry where there is something for everyone from distilleries to independant shops, great pubs and local cafes
Very central in town
Rooms were a bit dated.
Very kind professional and hospitable staff,
Efficient service, room clean and well equipped, staff willing to help with a smile, locationhandy for town centre.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Tiny rooms with awful views over the roof and showers that barely worked.
Location good, breakfast not too bad, staff help full.
Hotel it’s self looking a bit tired and could do with a revamp to make more appealing. Unfortunately bedroom had strange smell on arrival. The duvet cover had rip in it and were noticeable marks on curtains. The window looked directly onto the road/pavement, meaning people could easily look into room. A screen or blind would have provided more privacy. The bathroom itself was nice although sink taps appeared to have been fitted incorrectly as one turned in and loose.
Le cadre, le spa, le village, l'accueil...
Restaurant fermé...mais le village propose du choix.
Great location, parking on site, great variety at breakfast. Very nice pool with jacuzzi but unfortunately female changing room was closed with only disabled toilet available.
Mould in the bath & around the tiles.
The spa facilities are good. Beds were comfortable and breakfast choice was good.
Ladies had to change in the disabled toilet for spa facilities which should have been cleaned regularly with so many people using. Also, the floor was extremely wet. The spiders 🥴 We had to deal with at least 7 in and around our room. Hotel decor is a bit dated.
Use this facility often very good
All good
Great location and a decent breakfast with hot and cold options. The Nespresso machine in the room was also a nice touch. Although we only communicated with the reception staff when we checked in, they were friendly.
Unfortunately, the hotel is quite dated and very poorly maintained. The reception area looks inviting, but the upper-floor corridors were shabby and dirty. The room was average, looked not only dated but also not particularly clean, with a slight damp smell in the bathroom and poor shower pressure. Housekeeping was particularly disappointing; on the second day, the room looked barely touched, with the duvet simply pulled over, the cleaner on duty might as well not have bothered. I also found the coffee cups were dirty, most likely just rinsed in the bathroom sink, with coffee residue still visible. The pool changing area was also dirty and unkempt. With some fresh paint, updated furnishings and much better attention to cleaning, this hotel could be significantly improved.
Staff, breakfast, pool
No hooks in bedroom to hang robes after swimming
Warm and friendly!
All good
El desayuno y el trato del personal del hotel
Todo perfecto
Comfy beds.
Needs a complete overhaul
Really nice relaxing vibe, breakfast was excellent, staff were all lovely and our massages were really good too!
Unfortunately the smaller jacuzzi pool was out of order when we stayed, a little gutted about that but would definitely book again & just double check all facilities are available for next time.
Good location and availability of spa facilities
Our room had absolutely no privacy. People in the garden and walking along the road outside could see straight into the room. Bathroom tired with lots of black mould on the sealant. No bedside light on one side of the bed. General air of slightly down at heel in the hotel.
In den Zimmer, welches Strassenseite war, sollte ein Vorhang montiert werden, damit man von aussen nicht reinzieht. Ich meine ein weisser, durchsichtiger Vorhang.
Mooi zwembad met stoomcabine. Personeel vriendelijk.
Tapijt op de kamer oud.
The location was ideal and the staff were friendly.
It took a while to get into my room.
Breakfast excellent ,lots to choose from.
Room was a bit dusty, fan in bathroom didn't work, windows rattled when open with passing traffic, woke up to condensed windows, toilet seat lose., shower needed cleaning black mould, also toilet door had splash marks, and alot to be desired with cleanliness, behind tea station dust was thick!! Door to wardrobe stuck, .
Nice room, comfy bed. Relaxing bar area for drinks.
The maze of corridors to get to the room. Sounds pretty, but you should be able to get more than half a dozen channels on the TV without having to sign up to/into services.....
Close proximity to village. Breakfast was good and varied.
Elevator to third floor out of service, very steep stairs from second to third floor. Room 306 was not a deluxe double room based on website photos. We were in an attic room with slopeing ceiling. Furniture placement made it extremely difficult to move without constantly ducking (to miss the ceiling).
Good location just off main street with free parking. Plenty of lounge areas to relax. Breakfast included was good, including gf sausages/schar cornflakes plus gf bread can be requested. Nespresso machine was a lovely addition to room.
Electric fan that I needed to use was extremely dusty along with rest of room. No meals/snacks other than breakfast available, bar is not available when the staff are busy dealing with reception/spa.
Location & spa. Excellent breakfast
No evening meals
Cordialità, gentilezza, pulizia, posizione, bellezza e soprattutto la colazione
Staff always helpful and friendly
Nice hotel in city center with steam bath, pool and whirlpool. Renovated bathroom. Amazing breakfast
Quite old building, with smelly and dirty carpets, disgusting old moldy and dirty changing rooms for spa, however plus points that they are already renovating - the woman changing room was not available during our stay
Excellent location, clean room, good breakfast. Staff very professional and friendly.
Der Pool war sehr schön
Keine Haken im Zimmer für Bademäntel
Location
Personal choice but would have preferred firmer pillows. Breakfast was a bit chaotic with everyone trying to have breakfast at same time. Good time otherwise
Die Lage in Pitlochry. Das Frühstück war auch okay. Die Betten waren bequem.
In der ersten Nacht waren wir in Zimmer 116, direkt neben dem Abzugsrohr der Küche. Morgens um 5.15 startete der Küchenbetrieb. An Schlaf war nicht mehr zu denken. Nachdem ich das moniert hatte, erhielten wir umgehend ein gutes und geräumiges Zimmer. Ich finde, Zimmer 116 dürfte nicht angeboten werden.
I THINK THE ROOMS COULD DO WITH A LITTLE TLC. I WAS ALSO TOO HOT. ONE IS NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE RADIATOR IN THE ROOM AND WAS ON FULL WHACK ALL EVENING/ MORNING. I HAD THE WINDOW OPEN AND FAN ON AND STILL UNCOMFORTABLE.
The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and had a good selection. The location was very good as well.
The decor of the hotel was very tired and it needs quite a bit of maintenance done to it. The furniture in our room looked like it had been brought from a a charity shop a few years ago. Our room wasn't cleaned one day and we had to ask reception for milk, tea bags and toilet rolls as they were not replaced. Plus, the shower head kept on falling down and hitting you on the head when having a shower. We were very disappointed with the hotel
Gutes Frühstück (Ausnahme der Kaffee)
Viele unsaubere Ecken
locatie
voor een Spa hotel waren de verwachtingen hoger. Massage...pedicure etc. was er niet. Klein zwepmbad.....voor vrouwen geen aparte omkleedruimte
Nothing apart from the pool
Very dirty , dusty . Lifts that don’t work changing rooms out of action a work on going around the pool . Given the most inaccessible room needing a very long walk and stairs . This was however change a bit with another room still a long walk.
Breakfast ,location my wife liked the pool, jacuzzi ,and steam room
Overpriced drinks, but that is the same in all the bars in Pitlochry
Hotel was in a great spot,my grandson loved that the hotel had a swimming pool.
Good facilities with pool and Spa,good location
Rooms were a bit tired
Lovely warm pool. Great selection for breakfast (hot and continental). Helpful staff. Free transport to and from Pitlochry Theatre. Relaxing and attractive lounge area.
Price of drinks - £9 for small bottle of Prosecco! Very small shower cubicle, but no space to increase size.
Breakfast choice and quality excellent. Staff very helpful. Location great for exploring the town.
The pool shower and ladies changing rooms were out of action due to refurbishment so not ideal with just one disabled toilet available to change. Appreciate this is a short term inconvenience.
Location, on site parking
Nothing
Nothing
Everything
Good Location, Good Breakfast. Pool and hot tub a bonus.
Central location
Very tired. Had paid £220 B&B. Very overpriced. Breakfast was a ‘cattle market’
Location, the look-and-feel and atmosphere of the building and the pool/jacuzzi. parking on own ground
The breakfast was a bit overcrowded and the choice wasn't that impressive The rooms were quite warm and if you open the window people are directly walking there
L’emplacement
Pas de vestiaire femmes (obligées de se changer dans des toilettes handicapés) et vestiaire hommes très sales.
Location Pool Spa
Strange smell in my bedroom which was there all the time Furniture in bedroom very outdated
Location and breakfast
Everything needs updating and modernising. My parents who are in their 70s were put on the top floor with no lift to top floor, the top floor was like going back in time. I asked for them to be moved but there was no availability. Swimming area was dirty including steam room.
As always, the pool and steam room were lovely, and the bedroom was quiet and very comfortable.
Breakfast was disappointing, as it has changed from cooled-to-order to a fairly basic and tasteless buffet, while prices for the rooms have gone up. Receiving less for more is pretty standard in 2026, but it's a shame.
It was ideally situated in the heart of Pitlochry. The breakfast was good. The bedroom was big and the beds comfortable.
Our room was on the top floor which was quite a walk from the lift on the 2nd floor and up a narrow staircase and through corridor with very old carpet, definitely needing updated.
Location
The lift to the 3rd floor wasn't working - was asked if I could manage about 10 stairs- there were 17! The buffet provided by the hotel was very poor quality food- rice, pasta and small pieces of chicken The bedside lamp was absolutely thick with dust ( which doesn't show up well on the attached photo)and the velux window didn't shut properly so woken by very noisy birds in the morning Cost over £400 for a 2 night stay for one person
The hotel was lovely, being an older hotel you did get creaky floorboards but given the age of the building this can't be helped. Staff were lovely, and the breakfast was amazing, so much choice and a buffet breakfast too. Very central to town, a minutes walk and you were on the main street.
The doors really banged, I know they have to be fire doors, but boy did they bang.
Hotel bello e situato in una zona tranquilla, di facile accesso anche a piedi dal centro del paese. Abbiamo usufruito del servizio bar e piscina.
anche qui, come in altri posti, sarebbero state comode della prese di corrente in bagno.
Very good
Finding out that we were on the third floor and room was very hot with no air conditioning
Location, breakfast
Bit dusty. Breakfast was really good but coffee could have been better. Luckily good coffee place was not far.
Great location great staff and facilities relatively expensive but given demand fair at this time of year
La ubicació, les facilitats per aparcar i l'esmorzar, que era molt complert.
Posizione e struttura grande ed accogliente
Superb, comfortable and clean hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Nothing to dislike!!
Fijn zwembad, goede bedden, lekker ontbijt en voldoende parkeergelegenheid.
Slechte douche!! Een heel klein straaltje en de sproeier bleef niet hangen
One very nice waitress from Thailand in the breakfast room was absolutely fantastic she was really attentive and charming.
The room was really dated and the house keeping was terrible one morning they did not leave hand towels and another no toilet rolls and the room was never hoovered.
Location was great
Room was not clean.. and very out dated..
Die Lage war gut.
Sauberkeit war schlecht bis ungenügend. Schimmel im Bad. Muffliger Geruch im Zimmer. Das ganze Hotel ist stark in die Jahre gekommen.
L’emplacement. Les enfants ont pu aller à la piscine.
Toute la robinetterie de la salle de bain est à revoir. L’ampoule de la lampe de chevet était HS et elle n’en avait pas à la réception. Je pensais que le déjeuner était compris mais en fait non, donc à vérifier à la réservation (on y a renoncé du coup car il est assez cher)

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
5.5/10Multiple reports of unclean rooms, stains in carpets, mould in bathrooms, coffee mugs not cleaned and a needle in the carpet — cleanliness is a clear weak point.
Service
9.3/10Consistently praised staff: described as friendly, helpful and accommodating in many reviews, a strong positive despite other issues.
Location
9.5/10Very frequently noted as excellent/central and convenient — location is one of the hotel's strongest attributes.
Room Quality
6/10Mixed room quality: some spacious/comfortable rooms but many comments about tired decor, small sink, poor water pressure, squeaky floorboards and unsafe/old windows.
Amenities
8.3/10Pool and spa are praised as lovely and warm, but some facilities (ladies' changing room) were out of order and there are maintenance issues like missing tiles.
Value for Money
7.4/10Generally perceived as fair for the price by some guests, though the tired condition and maintenance shortcomings temper the value proposition.
Food and Beverage
7/10Breakfast has good selection and is generally liked though chaotic; coffee quality received at least one negative mention.
Overall Experience
7.8/10Overall positive experience for many guests due to location, staff and pool, but marred by maintenance, cleanliness and accessibility issues.
