4/10 Fair

A bit disappointing.
Shower only had slightly warm water (but they said they’d get that looked at). Room didn’t have anything to sit on apart from the bed. I couldn’t check in until after 16:00. The cooked breakfast was very well prepared but a bit minimal and the buffet had very limited choice. At least the juice glasses were proper glasses and not thimbles like most places. The fruit was badly bashed and looked old.

2/10 Poor

Terrible Stay
Incredibly disappointed and upset with the quality of our room. We were sent to the townhouse across the street which was easy to find. The room itself needs MAJOR upgrading. The carpets look like they haven’t been cleaned, the bathrooms are tiny and need cleaning as well, there was only a tiny bed sheet separating us and the stained mattress. Not to mention we booked this room (1 bed and 1 bunk bed) so we could have more than 1 bed but since the bunk bed was shaking on the way up (and we are 2 young girls - not very big) we had to share the 1 bed. The mattress was also firm so we both got a few hours of sleep at best. Limited plugs as well.

The property is ok. Nothing grand… but ok for a short trip. We stayed one night and the toilet didn’t work and the walls were paper thin. The staff was friendly, and the breakfast was great!

Wonderful property in the heart of Pitlochry town. Small single rooms suited our purpose. My favourite part was having dinner in the lobby restaurant and listening to a local band
