"The hotel itself as well as the entire property is beautiful and well maintained. Beds were comfortable, rooms clean, food was good. Prices were exorbitant for literally everything. Most are across Scotland and the UK. The real issue we encountered, was certain staff were distasteful and had an obvious distain for foreigners. We come from Texas, I brought my dad here for his 68th birthday as a surprise to see our homeland. Mirela and her sidekick (short dark hair and blue eyes) openly pointed and snickered at us during our $200 dinner (on may 1st at 6pm - for management to look into). I can only guess they assumed we were a couple? Either way it was very disheartening and extremely rude. I hope management takes this seriously because we will not be recommending this place to any of our friends or family due to this disrespect. Spending over $1,000 for a 2 night stay, I would expect a much higher caliper of class. With that said, most other staff was kind and helpful. The front desk clerk may need to work on her poker face to help hide her disdain for travelers as well. Angi I believe."

"We had a lovely stay with our dog. He was made to feel very welcome with plenty of treats and fusses from all the staff. The location is great and the area surrounding has plenty to see and do."

"Wonderful stay at McKays in the beautiful town of Pitlochry. Front desk and restaurant staff were friendly and helped make our stay enjoyable."

"I wasn’t there for long but everything was great other than the lack of available parking"

"Room a bit dated, but functional. Bed comfy and good shower. No bottles of water provided which was disappointing. Also only basic range of tea and ciffee. More caffeine free drinks (green tea, fruit tea etc) would have been appreciated. Breakfast good. Wee version of full breakfast was perfect."

"Room was clean, food not great, didn't appreciate getting my drink in a plastic pint glass"

"Decent hotel for one night"
