Fisher's Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"What a fabulous property! Stay in a former castle that has been painstakingly updated for comfort. There's not a more convenient and centrally located space whether traveling by train (the hotel is visible from the station) or car with parking onsite. Great breakfast overlooking the garden and several spots for drinks and gathering. A must for any bucket list and don't miss the Pitlockry Festival theater productions while you're there."
Craiglynne Hotel
8/10 Good
"Very nice hotel with a lovely room and a good breakfast. Shower was leaking at the hose connection which resulted in a poor flow from the shower head"
Coylumbridge Resort Hotel
8/10 Good
"Stayed for two night with our two and four year olds, breakfast as part of the booking. Very well set up for kids and families, especially younger ones. Get what you pay for. Breakfast was super busy between 7am and 8am as hotel has coach trips staying over which stretches it to it's capacity, no coffee cups available and no bread etc. Went for breakfast laster second morning and was more manageable. Location very good and pool area great for the kids. Nice location down by river behind football pitch if you can scale the incline."
Balmoral Arms
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful hotel and staff ! Beautiful rooms, great location!"
The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel
8/10 Good
"Thank you to the staff at the Pitlochry Hydro for making a fuss of my parents who were staying to celebrate their Diamond Wedding anniversary . They had a lovely stay, enjoyed using the facilities and exploring Pitlochry."
Hilton Grand Vacations Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside
8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful and the amenities such as the pool, workout room, etc. are excellent. We enjoyed a lovely dinner in the finer dining restaurant. The service was great at check in, check out and the restaurant. Our room was extremely spacious and very nice. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the sitting area very nice. The big negative is there is no air conditioning. I guess I should have assumed this since the building is so old but we have stayed at older places that have been renovated and there is air conditioning. The hallways and common places in the hotel are so comfortable and it feels as though there is air conditioning there but not in the rooms."
Nethybridge Hotel
8/10 Good
"great place with nice bar/restaurant, good parking - nice location. maybe a tad dated, e.g. couldnt figure out how to use the heating (which was very old) and the curtains made no attempt to block light."
Westlands of Pitlochry
10/10 Excellent
"Super clean, amazing breakfast, great location. "
Pine Trees Hotel
8/10 Good
"Both the hotel and the staff were excellent, I particularly liked Ravi the hotel manager. My only gripe was the lack of thought for us vegans.. the menu made it feel like veganism was an afterthought and the very generous free pantry didn’t have any to offer us."
