Fabulous short break
Fonab Castle is in a beautiful setting. Easy access to other Perthshire towns and a short pleasant walk into Pitlochry . The staff are fantastic and make you feel very welcome.Concierge go above and beyond in helping anyway they can and it was much appreciated. Sandman restaurant closed so ate in 1892 restaurant which had good choice of food and beautifully presented. Breakfast was cooked to order which was lovely.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Hopefully next time we can stay for longer.

Very good but with minor issue
Lovely relaxing stay. Excellent staff always willing to help. Concierges were especially helpful and proactive. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately the shower in our room was faulty and could not be fixed and although we were offered another room the length of our stay didn't warrant that. Bit disappointing for an otherwise very good hotel.
