Large, nice, clean room. Pet Friendly,Good tea/ coffee service.
Lovely breakfast and lovely property and nice, helpful staff. Great location, especially for the Pitlochry Theatre, which is walkable as is the Main high street in Pitlochry. Would stay again!
Overall a really great stay. Food, staff, surrounding areas were excellent but the room was very tired and underwhelming for a suite. Not worth the money and we wouldn't return, to the same suite anyway.
An amazing couple of nights at Fonab Castle. The staff were outstanding - so attentive and kind. Staff are a real asset and made our stay all the more enjoyable.
We enjoyed using the spa facilities. Breakfast was delicious. Dined in the restaurant which was fantastic.
Fab chat with the concierges when coming and going; and they were always on hand to help. They made my two children feel very welcome.
Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again.
Lovely stay. Great views over Loch Faskally. We even saw a red squirrel. Lochview garden room was amazing. Tea, coffee, snacks and a fridge in the room. Sofa and chairs to relax in. Balcony overlooking the loch. Staff all helpful and professional. Door man ace! Spa peaceful and tranquil. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Would recommend the experience.

Another fantastic stay at Fonab Castle hotel. We have been staying here for years and always enjoy our stays. Anna in the bar was very attentive and welcoming. We will be back.
The room was excellent and well looked after. The food was very tasty and the leisure facilities were excellent. Everything however seemed a bit clinical and lacked atmosphere.
This is one of the best hotels I have stayed at, so welcoming, room excellent as was the food

Fantastic room in the castle . Bar area in the evening lacked ambience. Given poor table for 65th birthday celebration at dinner but this was changed. I don’t think 4 mouthfuls of duck terrine starter is worth £18 although it was tasty. .
