“The hotel impresses with its truly exceptional food, particularly the Indian cuisine served in its attractive restaurant, and the genuinely friendly staff who make guests feel so welcome. Its Pitlochry setting offers lovely garden views and convenient access to local attractions, though I noted some found the beds on the firmer side and seating limited.”
