We stayed in the lodge opposite the bar. There was building work going on downstairs but didn’t interfere with our stay. Really nice room on top floor. Only negative is the tv was very small. Food at the pub was lovely.

Great bar although a tad expensive. Rooms are warm and comfortable. Restaurant is good but can be busy. Staff friendly and helpful. Limited parking at rear. Great position on the main road in the middle of town. Visited a few times and will return.

Friendly staff. Room seemed newly decorated, not overly big but king size comfortable bed, nice bright bathroom. Only downside was ill fitting curtains which caused sunlight to enter bedroom a bit earlier than necessary! Not a major complaint - maybe blinds would work better. Parking could be a problem, spaces for around 10-12 cars, first come first served. On a busy main road through Pitlochry so only half hour parking available there. We did find a side street a short walk away where we parked safely overnight. Breakfast had plenty choices, served to your table by friendly staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was lovely and good menu for dinner. Hotel very close to shops, transport etc. Great walks locally. Staff were excellent. Very friendly. Tall waiter was excellent (sorry didn't get his name) as was the receptionist. Have stayed there before and will stay there again.
