Out of the way and up a hill with good views

Location was great. Room and facilities were clean and tidy. Room and bed were very comfortable.
Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück und das Indische Lokal im Haus
We had a beautiful, large room with views of the surrounding countryside. The food at the Indian restaurant was absolutely fantastic.
Nothing
Older buildings do have a certain historic appeal to me. Breakfast was the best of our entire trip. In addition to buffet items, they had cook to order omelettes that were fresh, hot and delicious. The facility was clean, but a bit outdated (which I totally do not mind at all). The hotel will be typically noisy as it is older. I had requested a "quiet" room and we had one that was top floor, in a corner. I still her a bit of door slamming, but I think my request was granted!
As with most of our stays on this trip, no microwave. We only had one for 2 of out stays and we like to always have left overs to reheat and/or popcorn! It's a bit of a hike back up from town, but we LOVED this little town. The inns and bars were hopping with really great music and we enjoyed a variety of options.... modern, rock AND a wonderful Scottish trio. This was our best entertainment stop as well. PS it was a weekend.
La localisation à 2 pas du centre ville. Une chambre assez grande. La salle à manger très jolie où le petit déjeuner écossais était vraiment excellent et copieux.
La literie moyennement confortable mais ce n’est qu’un détail.
החדר ממוקם במבנה עתיק ויפה. החדר מרווח ונעים. המקלחת עברה שיפוץ והיא יפה ונעימה
המזרון מאוד רך. היה לי קשה לישון ככה
Limpio y reformado, un desayuno escocés muy bueno y el personal muy amables. El tamaño de la habitación bien y las camas muy cómodas. Tiene parking propio
Staff were excellent, food really good
Bedrooms were clean & comfortable but could do with updating
Breakfast and staff. Good size room
The bedroom, which was downstairs, window overlooks the car park. This greatly reduces privacy as other guests can see directly into the bedroom.
Warm welcome from Paul on reception and handwritten note in our room. Lovely big twin room (accessible) with excellent walk-in shower. Delicious Indian dinner in elegant on-site restaurant.
This hotel is in beautiful picturesque Pitlochry. The hotel is quiet but well located so that one could easily walk the downtown. The host is fantastic - very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. The hotel rooms are super clean and very spacious!
Great room, great breakfast options. The gentleman who was in the dining room at breakfast (sorry we didn't get his name) was really friendly and informative about where to visit.
The only negative we had was the toilet seat in our room was really loose and could do with fixing/ replacing.
Hospitable, friendly, warming
Clean with some modernised rooms. All the staff were helpful and friendly. Paul was a first rate host. The breakfast was exceptional for the price the attached Indian restaurant Cidsin was very good. A great experience Thank you

Net hotel. Met een fantastisch Indiaas restaurant

Staff were very helpful , and friendly most accommodating
Handy distance to everything in town, Staff were lovely and a really nice little wine bar and amazing Indian restaurant all there too.
The staff were fantastic, the owner gave us a lift down to the theatre after dinner at the excellent Cidsin onsite restaurant

Très belle vue, bien situé et restaurant indien très correct. Chambre un peu vieillotte mais confortable.
Chambre un peu vétuste mais rien de grave.
Comfortable and friendly staff
A little dated
Average
Slightly more for the cost
Everywhere was spotlessly clean and staff very pleasant. Breakfast was good with plenty of food. Our bedroom was well equipped, lovely bathroom with quick, easy shower and lovely views from the windows. The position of the hotel was about 20 mins walk up the hill from the centre of town so very quiet.
Our bedroom on the second floor had a large part of the ceiling (because it was an attic room) which sloped in and you had to watch out in case you bumped your head when trying to access the coffee, tea and kettle and also when you tried to sit in the settee at the end of the room. The height of the ceiling is only about 6 feet at the end where the settee is and with the walls painted dark green, the room felt a bit cramped.
The staff where rude, the hotel was closed when we arrived midday
Dirty carpets rude staff
Our room was lovely and clean, the bed was very comfortable and there was ample supply of tea, coffee etc. The food in the restaurant was really good and there was a large selection of choice on the breakfast menu. The staff were very welcoming and helpful especially the Manager Paul who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this hotel and we hope to stay again one day.
There was nothing about this hotel we didn't like.
Hôtel bien situé Personnel agréable Petit déjeuner copieux / restaurant de l’hôtel bon
Vétusté Odeur de cigarette dans les couloirs Très mal isolé
Fijn bed, goede douche, mooi uitzicht! Heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant!
Locatie
Versleten inrichting badkamer
A nice place with cozy interior, great personnel, clean and spacious rooms. Check-in was easy, finding property also did not bring any challenges.
Have in mind that even though the town center is in walkable distance the hotel is uphill and walking back for elderly or disabled people might be challenging. No issues with the property itself though.
Localización, habitación correcta.
La ducha era de calentador pequeño, sin presión. Es lamentable que en un hotel no salga casi agua en la ducha.
Always come here when we’re in Pitlochry property is immaculate and the views are exceptional
There was nothing I didn’t like all good
El personal (staff) fue muy agradable y servicial, dando siempre facilidades. El hotel tenía todo lo necesario, la ubicación era idílica. Lo recomendamos 100%.
Friendliness if staff Good breakfast freshly made. The hotel had everything we needed for a one night stay during our road trip in Scotland.
Our room was spacious and comfortable. The addition af a sofa was a nice touch. Everything was clean and in good repair. Breakfast was lovely, a good Scots breakfast.

The room was excellent and had everything we needed for our one-night stay. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.
Persoonlijke benadering. Normale prijs voor wat je krijgt. Vergelijkbare hotels in Schotland waren zeker 40 pond duurder.
Het ontbijt was iets onduidelijk, maar uiteindelijk kwam dat goed!👍🏻
Gemütliches Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal und sehr sehr gutes indisches Essen
The property was very clean and in a quiet place but very close to walk down to see the village.
Nothing
Friendly staff. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a room upgrade upon arrival. Clean and comfortable room, the bed was very good. Breakfast was fantastic. Great location both to the main street and to nature trails. Free and spacious parking.
La habitación
La chica joven del restaurante era agresiva tratando de vender más comida, y por la mañana en el desayuno insistió más con una actitud bastante incomprensible e incómoda para con nosotros
Estaba limpio y tenía parking
El olor a comida de la recepción
Friendly and helpful owner and staff. Lovely comfy bed and room. Great location and superb curries and Indian food 👌 for evening dining
Nothing
This hotel is an exceptional facility and all staff amazing.
We travelled by train so walking up the hill will luggage !!!!
Sehr nettes und gemütliches Hotel. Sehr freundliche Bewirtung. Haben uns wohl gefühlt.
Clean and friendly staff. Away from main road so quiet area.
Very small room, not able to open suitcase fully. Suitable for overnight but wouldn’t want to have a longer stay. Thin walls but had earplugs which helped with noise.
In site parking. Tastefully renovated. Friendly staff.
The room is quite small
The room styling was good.
The aroma from the food lingered into the rooms and we were at the top. Toilet floor wasn’t that clean with marks round the shower. We could hear everything from the other rooms.Showers on, door banging, People chatting etc
Room was nice very clean breakfast was good and staff friendly and helpful
Nice place , nice staff , lovely town
Not the hotels fault but the roadworks both lots a pain
Checking in was easy and I was welcomed in a very friendly manner. All of the staff were friendly and approachable. Both breakfast and dinner were very good. There was ample car parking space.
The TV was positioned on the desk which did mean the chair had to be moved out of the way in order that it did not obstruct the view but the TV did work very well.
The staff are so welcoming and friendly, the restaurant sells the best curry I've ever had and the breakfast is gorgeous. The rooms are quiet with soft and comfy beds and pillows. Its clean and very tastefully decorated. This is my second visit there and it won't be my last. I would go out of my way to return. Thank you 🙂💖
Beautiful location and the hotel was spotless. We had a junior suite with stunning views. The staff were all excellent and special mention to Paul who was the perfect host. We ate in Cidsin one night and had a delicious meal. Breakfast was excellent and cooked fresh to order
Our only comment would be there was very limited hanging space for longer items of clothes in our suite
Attention and courtesy of the staff. The foodand discount.
Two safety issues I would mention: 1.Showerbase slippy when wet posed an injury from falling. Remedy: Non xslip shower mat. 2. Gap under door would not meet fire regulations. Remedy: Replace with fire door.l9i
Location, staff, comfortable beds.
Only issue was that pumps on conditioner and soap in shower didn’t work. Luckily I had my own.
Camera molto bella e accogliente. Bagno top. Colazione scozzese da provare
We loved staying upstairs in Room 7 because the views were beautiful. We fell in love with the Indian Restaurant, the staff were exceptional and the flavours of the food the best we've every tasted. We are still talking about the desserts a week later.
Sala ristorante molto bella, proprietario accogliente e molto gentile, struttura pulita, parcheggio interno.
Stanza un po’ piccola, bagno con qualche dettaglio da migliorare.
Tolles Restaurant Gutes Frühstück
Sehr später Check-in (16:00Uhr)
The staff were as helpful as can be, especially Niki, the young Indian girl, who was very upbeat and empathetic. The evening meal was served in a professional way and very natural and tasty. This was the only high point in our two night stay. Bed was comfortable and not much noise .
After being told there were just a few steps up to our BOXROOM, we found there were 16 VERY steep steps which were painful to navigate as I have poor mobility. . The room was pitifully cramped and bleak. The staff were helpful, courteous and understanding when we said we couldn’t stay the third night which we had booked verbally. The place is dingy and tired with ancient net curtains , old furniture, faded print and dead hanging baskets outside .
De rust ,het uitzicht ,lekker ontbijt , vriendelijk en op wandel afstand van het dorp
Niets
Die Junior Suite war geräumig und hübsch eingerichtet.
Im Zimmer hatte es keine Kleenex-Tücher (zumindest fanden wir keine) und keine Wasserflaschen.
Je réserve régulièrement des hôtels et, malgré une réservation effectuée seulement dix jours avant notre arrivée, j’ai accepté de payer 190 £ la nuit, sachant que les prix sont élevés en Écosse en haute saison. À ce tarif, je m’attendais néanmoins à un minimum de transparence sur la chambre attribuée. Nous avons eu la chambre n°9, qui est, à mon sens, indigne d’un établissement de cette catégorie. La fenêtre donne directement sur le parking, à moins d’un mètre des voitures, avec les vitres à hauteur des véhicules. Impossible de laisser les rideaux ouverts sans être vu : nous avons dû vivre les rideaux fermés en permanence. La salle de bain est très vieillotte et la ventilation est extrêmement bruyante. Aller aux toilettes la nuit réveille inévitablement la personne qui vous accompagne. L’isolation phonique est également très mauvaise : on entend les personnes des chambres au-dessus, ainsi que les douches et les toilettes des autres chambres, comme si elles étaient dans la nôtre. À notre arrivée, une forte odeur de cuisine envahissait la chambre, ce qui était particulièrement désagréable. L’hôtel nous a offert le petit-déjeuner, un geste apprécié, mais qui ne compense pas les mauvaises conditions de cette chambre. Après avoir demandé des explications par écrit, on m’a répondu qu’il s’agissait d’une réservation de dernière minute. Pour moi, cela ne justifie en rien l’attribution d’une chambre de cette qualité, surtout à 190 £ la nuit. Une réservation tardive ne devrait pas dispenser l’établissement d’être transparent sur les caractéristiques de la chambre proposée. Après quinze jours de voyage en Écosse et autant d’hôtels, c’est de loin la chambre la plus décevante que nous ayons eue. C’est d’autant plus regrettable que les environs regorgent d’hôtels pleins de charme, alors que celui-ci n’en offre malheureusement aucun.
Era cómodo y limpio. El dueño muy amable
The view from our room was stunning. It was in a quiet location.
Inflexibility about early check-in. The room was quite small for 2 people.
Our room had a beautiful view and it was very quiet overnight. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Everywhere was absolutely spotless and our needs were well catered for. Food in the restaurant was amazing and there were excellent vegetarian options which is not always the case. I certainly hope to go back again, cannot recommend it highly enough.
Nothing.
Habitación muy cómoda y limpia, y personal muy amable
Nos gustó todo
Posizione
Petit déjeuner excellent. Chambre calme mais un peu petite pour trois personnes.
Ca. 10 Fußminuten oberhalb vom Zentrum, ordentliches indisches Restaurant im Haus. Parken bei vollem Hotelparkplatz auch auf der Strasse möglich. Recht gutes Frühstück.
Kleines Zimmer, enge Treppe nach oben, Flur hat Feeling wie eine altmodische Jugendherberge. Preis-Leistung passt im August nicht (dies gilt aber für ganz Schottland)
Petit déjeuner insuffisant, basique Hotel beaucoup cher pour ce qui est proposé
La gentillesse du personnel, le restaurant et le petit déjeuner, l’emplacement, la propreté
Les chambres un peu petites dans la partie non rénovée
It was a nice accomodation. You can easily walk to the city center but there is also a restaurant inhouse. The reception was very good and checking out was very easy.
Ottima posizione, con una piccola discesa si arriva in centro. Rispetto ad altre soluzioni e' molto economica. Check-in e checkout velocissimi.
La stanza meritava un piccolo riammodernamento e una maggior insonorizzazione.
Did not require breakfast.
Breakfast. Scrambled eggs , & Poached eggs . Ie. More healthy options . Would have suited me.
La posizione
La camera era molto umida
Habitaciones cómodas con todo lo necesario. Parking. Desayuno muy rico.
The place.
The room was very small. The flour was inclined. The beds and matraze very bad. The smelling of the restaurant spread it all around e en in the room área. The Breakfast was correct but you have to wait a waiter. Only one. Too much money for the place they offer. Is not FABULOSO. This is a wrong cathegory. The correct one is NORMAL.
De leuke indeling met een aparte zitkamer en een aparte slaapkamer. Heel leuk gedaan
Het bed was voor ons als lange Nederlanders wat aan de korte kant.
The breakfast was superb.Cooked to order with loads of choice.
Der Preis im Verhältnis zu den anderen Hotels
Comfortable room, great food and lovely staff.
The walk uo from the town centre is quite steep.
Hotel restaurant familial plutot bien situé à 10 minutes du centre de Pitlochry, au calme. La chambre était basique, un peu dans son jus et donnant sur le parking mais globalement au niveau de l'attendu. Le personnel était sympa. Il y a aussi un bar à gin, ce qui est toujours appréciable !!
Je trouve le prix un peu élevé. Pour une nuit de passage c'est bien, mais je n'y serais pas resté pour un séjour plus long.
Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food - both breakfast and dinner. Great location.
Bra läge nära centrum. Trevlig personal

The room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. The restaurant provided the best Indian meal I have had in years with an imaginative menu well cooked and served by staff who could not have tried harder to make a pleasant stay exceptional. After the bustle of central Pitlochry the quiet location made for a good nights sleep.
Das Zimmer war einfach und sehr sauber.
La posizione e la colazione
Its location and cleanliness.
Mattress quality, it can be better.
Easy access up a hill from the town giving it a quiet and peaceful vibe. Breakfast was outstanding and a great selection from buffet with cereals, yoghurts, fresh grapefruit as well as a fully cooked breakfast of which we had the vegetarian option. Set us up well for the walking through nearby woodland and waterfall, as well as the picturesque dam and surrounding areas. Beds were comfortable and allowed a restful sleep. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend.
Nothing.
Lovely views from room. Good choice of breakfast and cooked to order hot food.
Shower tray very slippy & no shower mat. Shower also kept stopping whilst in use.
Le restaurant indien est sublime Literie confortable Personnel très gentil et accueillant
Rideaux pas assez occultants pour une chambre orientée est .
El desayuno
Alejado del centro y con mobiliario muy antiguo
Lage: sehr ruhig, kein Verkehrslärm
