The hotel is fantastic, so big and very roomy. Massively dog friendly which was main reason for booking. Pool facilities etc great for rainy days. The one drawback which comes with age, the floors are very creaky, you hear above and next door moving in room. If the creaky floors were dealt with then there is nothing to complain about. But even with that we would still stay there again on next visit to Pitlochry.

Way too many dogs in the building and open areas. Room with a view paid for only to witness dog owners allowing their dogs to foul in the open grass/areas & gardens. Dogs barking indoors in public areas and in rooms. Majority of staff were foreign nationals, which may have caused limited/no interpersonal exchanges or welcome on arrival nor thanks for custom. The management team only spoke when customers approached them.

A perfect retreat

If you want to drive around Scotland it is the perfect place to stay, every major city is with 2 hours drive. The town itself is beautiful. The hotel is great for travellers who want a bit of pampering but also want to be out and about. The pool after a long hike is perfect. The breakfast will certainly set you up for the day as there is a very large selection including vegan foods.

Pool area was nice. Hotel rooms and corridors were clean but could do with some tasteful renovations (carpets and decoration). Friendly staff.

Twin Room

Booked a Twin Room for an overnight stay with my cousin. Absolutely fantastic. The room was very spacious and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to booking another stay at the Pitlochry Hydro Hotel.
