“Stayed here for one night with a group of friends. It is so central within Pitlochry, a great base to explore from. But much more than that, the staff are superb, the rooms are clean, spacious and well looked after, the food is great. They have entertainment most Fridays/Saturdays. This was a first-class experience and I would highly recommend it. Cant wait to go back.”
