10/10 Exceptional

Staying in a castle has always been in my bucket list! This did not disappoint. It is beautiful with stunning views. Even though we had a “fire drill” at 2:30am (rain made its way to the alarm system, which cause it to go off), it just added to the experience and created another memory!! It’s also great that it is walking distance to the village of Pitlochry, especially since taxis are very sparse!! I would most definitely stay there again!

Stunning property in convenient location. Close enough to walk to town. Wish we had more time to take advantage of the delights this beautiful hotel offered!

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed two great dinners, with all food hot and tasty. Good breakfast buffet too. Wish there was shuttle service back and forth to town, we would have even paid a fee. You can walk to town, but some guests may struggle. We did get free shuttle to train station on departure, which was much appreciated.
George, 2-night trip

The hotel public areas were very nice and comfortable. The staff in stags head bar were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Bedroom looked a bit tired. Staff at breakfast could have been more welcoming

John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely Hotel but costly while you're there

The hotel is lovely and full of character with huge, beautiful grounds. My only complaint is that everything is over priced to the point where we ate and drank out all the time. Even at breakfast several items carried a supplementary charge. I have not come across that for "normal" fair before. the same was true in the expensive main evening meal menu. It just seemed mean and greedy. Shame as it was the only negative in a lovely hotel
Gavin, 3-night trip
