Unsatisfactory

Leisure not living up to expectations with regard to changing rooms, only two not enough. The hotel itself requires a complete overhaul, the window frames were not cleaned. The rooms are cold even though the radiator was on full. The floors are uneven in our bedroom and also the corridor. Found the staff very unfriendly, need training, especially the bar staff which made me feel like an inconvenience. We will not be returning, especially as we paid for two nights and left after the first night

Dated, thin walls. Stay elsewhere if you can

First off the parking in front is limited but offers a drop off and there is a car park across the street. Check in was quick & easy. The gentleman helping at reception was friendly and gave us the run down of the hotel from the bar/ restaurant and the pool/sauna rules. The hotel is very dated and could use some work. The walls are very thin and you could hear everything! The hallway light is left on and you can see it through the door to your room. Our hair dryer was not working, tv didn’t work properly and the shower head leaked causing the floor to get soaked. Front desk was very helpful with getting us another hair dryer and fixing the TV for us promptly. There’s a bar for getting in & out of the shower which is nice since it’s a pretty big step in. It wasn’t the worst but I probably won’t be back anytime soon.

Rooms are very dated and don’t look like the photos, those must have been taken a few years ago. Our room reeked of smoke (even though it was non smoking) and had to keep the windows open to air out. We also asked for a room away from all entrances (which they confirmed was arranged) and we were put right in front of the entrance door to the corridor for all the rooms. Food at the restaurant was very mediocre, couldn’t finish my steak it was so chewy.

As most hotels in Scotland, this is an old building. Our room was spacious and well maintained. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to town centre and the dam (very interesting to see). Parking is ample and free of charge. Breakfast is varied. Loved they had some vegan options like porridge, beans, mushrooms and baked tomatoes. Also some fruits. Missed having a mini-fridge in the room.

Could hear people in shower next door in 118 and also people in room above 119. Sink cracked and leaking on to floor. The hotel is a bit dated and could do with an upgrade. Superior room with view was a bit basic for the price and view was mainly the car park and trees at front, not worth the extra money we paid. Tv is a real pain to navigate. Staff were very pleasant. Not allowed to choose a meal from dining room menu in the bar area with a bar meal which is what we wanted. If I thought a bit quicker I should have said you have lost custom and I would eat elsewhere. Spoke to another couple who were getting charged nearly 3 times the price in the dining room compared to the bar, they went and got drinks in bar and took them through themselves. Seem to have some very picky ways of dealing with customers at times. Pool, sauna and Jacuzzi were nice but could do with a plumber to check the pressure in the changing room showers. Night walk on steps to go to town was very dark but on day we left there was a workman putting up lights which will improve the safety of people walking them. 4 disabled parking posts but you can only fit in 3 cars.

Limited parking in front of hotel. Remainder in car park other side of road. Very rough terrain and not well lit at times. Breakfast cold. Limited choice for continental. Staff member informed us dogs allowed in any of rooms with appropriate permissions. No obvious signs of this on booking sites. Only 'dog friendly' which is very open to interpretation. Doggie bags on arrival! Shows their priority. Our standard room very shabby with broken window safety bar and very sloping floor in bathroom where making access difficult. Bathroom window not frosted. Very visible from car park & blind used at all times. Very disappointing. Would not recommend based on our experience.

Handy for access to Pitlochry. Not good value for money. Decor was shabby needing upgraded in corridors and rooms. Toilet roll holder loose on wall, window sash cords broken, paintwork chipped and peeling wallpaper, unsafe electrical appliance which blew the circuits in our room, yapping dog left unattended in a room nearby. Room condiments 'mean' - no choices. Staff fabulous.

Fantastic stay. Nice welcome from.reception staff. Room was fantastic, Superior double scenic view could not fault it. Dinner in hotel was really good, 3 course set menu. Leisure facilities was clean and tidy and perfect to relax in. My dogs were made most welcome. Grounds perfect for a wee wander with them. Breakfast was buffet style and had great choice of continental and freshly cooked. Overall our stay was very good with all staff being extremely helpful. We will be back.
