10 hotels in Pitlochry: Best hotel deals for 2023

August 6, 2022 Roger Rusk

Highland Perthshire places some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery within easy reach of both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Pitlochry is the most geared-up base from which to enjoy it. It’s been a bustling mountain resort since the railways arrived in 1863, and these days manages to be both a cozy favorite for tourists who enjoy browsing in its woolen mills and taking in the repertory of plays at its famous Festival Theatre, and a magnet for adrenalin junkies in search of bungee jumping, canyoning, tubing and white water rafting adventures. Visitors of any age will be intrigued by the Pictish carvings on the huge Dunfallandy stone at nearby Ballinluig and, after a bracing mountain walk or visit to the famous salmon ladder, adults can enjoy a warming dram of malt whiskey after a tour at one of the two local distilleries, Edradour and Blair Athol.

Jubilee weekend.

We managed to get the last room for the weekend. From when we arrived until we left we felt that the experience was far superior than other alternatives that we’d had before. Jane, Calum and Bailey were all so welcoming and treated us like real guests. The breakfast was incredible and shouldn’t be missed. The room fee was a little more than some of the other local alternatives but far superior. Small details as decent espresso machines, quality towels and Scottish soaps made the stay feel like a retreat. Don’t miss staying here. Avoid 3rd party booking websites as there wasn’t any saving for us and support these lovely people by booking online directly. I looked for the red squirrels but couldn’t see them. I’ll bring some nuts next time. Thanks. Dave and S

Very comfortable room, delicious food, and excellent service-attitude among all staff make this a very pleasant stay

Reviewed By Ashlander

Loved this Inn in the charming Scottish small town. The room was very comfortable, well appointed, with amenities. But the truly exceptional thing was the service attitude among the staff. Everyone was just unusually friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We observed that they also treated each other with this same attitude to helpfulness and positivity. We attribute this to good management, and we certainly felt we benefitted from that. I received emails advising me to book for dinner if I wanted to eat at their establishment, and I received an almost immediate response when I did so. Other emails advising of our arrival time and asking about parking were also immediately acknowledged. The food at the Inn was also delicious and the place is obviously very popular locally. We could not have been more pleased with this accommodation, which for us, was a stop between St. Andrews golf day and Inverness. We were so happy we chose to stop here and experience this brand of Scottish hospitality. Definitively one of the best we have encountered so far in Scotland.

Wonderful Victorian hotel set in glorious gardens. The hotel staff were a credit to the hotel, especially the Night Manager…we checked into the hotel quite late and the Night Manager provided help and advice. We enjoyed the buffet style breakfast. A visit to the Hotel Museum gives you a real flavour of hotel life in Victorian times, well worth a visit.

Accommodation was clean and the double room we had was fantastic.. the hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly and the buffet breakfast was great. I’d recommend no question.

If you like ants book the annexe

Reviewed By gmwg2022

We booked annexe room 12. Was in room about 15 minutes and noticed ants in bathroom, didn't bother to much because you get insects everywhere. The room was a bit dirty should be cleaner. The blinds in bathroom were filthy. When we came home after a few days we have ants in our house... same as ones in hotel room.. not pleased, can only assume we brought the home from room. Would not stay there again. Hope my house does not have ant problem. On the plus side the staff were great and breakfast was good.

Anniversary weekend

Reviewed By Nomad12004247750

Stayed here for 4 nights at start of June, we were welcomed by Gordon who immediately made us feel at home, we had a ground floor room overlooking the beautiful front gardens. The room was spotless and bathroom had a great walk in shower. We thought hard of what they could improve on but could not think of anything ?. The breakfasts were also first class and you order what you want the day before which is a great idea, you will leave the breakfast table fully satisfied. The outdoor seating area was also perfect for having a lazy afternoon in the sun watching the world go by with a wee glass or two of bubbly ??. Thanks again for making our anniversary weekend special.

Don't bother

Reviewed By X5715YVconnieh

Quiet and clean. Okay, I'm out of good things to say. Room was stark and cheaply furnished. No water pressure in shower. But worst of all was the food. 3 menus with some questionable choices in combination. Finally settled on sharing a hand crafted wood fired pizza. Frozen and not even completely hot. Breakfast was same, pre-pepared foods and sludge filled coffee. I swear it was instant
