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.

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.

Nice hotel. Newly renovated. Ceilings are very low - if you over 6 feet, you may be uncomfortable. Shower is C- for UK. Very low water pressure. Arrived late so restaurant was closed.

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.
