"Overall this was an adequate hotel to stay in Pitlochry. Location and parking was great. Staff was amazing. The food was so-so. The scrambled eggs for breakfast were truly peculiar - you had to use a spoon to eat them because the eggs were like kernals of tasteless rice. Place is inundated by tour groups which is great for tours. But not so great if you are looking for a place a tad more special. So they are mass producing group tours with average food. But the staff is superlative."
