The room was amazing, lovely big comfy super king bed and huge bathroom. The imcluded breakfast was also great. Only drawbacks are the live music at the weekend is extremely noisy and goes on till around midnight. The street noise can also be an issue with the window open which you will want as the room can get quite hot. Overall, very nice place but the lively surroundings bring it down a notch.

The room I was assigned to was in a property across the street from the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, but was on the third floor with no elevator. Luckily, the gentleman that checked me in helped me get my luggage up the stairs, unfortunately, I was on my own when checking out. As a single, 64 year old woman, this was a struggle. Breakfast was included and was excellent, as was the staff serving in the dining room. McKays is conveniently located near the train station and bus stops, mega shopping and dining options as well as the Pitlochry Festival Theater.
