Great hotel a good base for walking.

A very lovely hotel close to the train station, only took us 2 minutes to walk from the station to the hotel. First impressions were great, food was good in the restaurant, then we got checked in, room was lovely. We stayed in room 207. Although the noise from the fans outside did keep us awake at night.That was with the window closed as well. The room did become quite warm as we could not sleep with the window open because of the noise outside. I wonder if there was any way that these fans could be covered? So that the noise is not affecting the sleep of customers. Apart from that could not fault our stay.

Fabulous Quirky Hotel !

Fabulous gem in the centre of Pitlochry. We had the small double which was fine for the one night. My parents had the larger double & huge bed. Lovely Highland Soap toiletries in the toilets. The staff were really lovely and attentive. Fantastic breakfast the following morning. It would have been good to have the option of fresh fruit.
