My husband and I have just got back from a 5 day Shearings coach holiday staying at this hotel. First impressions were very good. All the public areas have been refurbished to a high standard. The restaurant is very pleasant with plenty tables for 2 as well as larger parties. The food was very good with a different menu and... More

Room was a good size, clean with nice furnishings. Bathroom was very nice. We were upgraded upon arrival (don't know why) to a superior room but for the price we'd already agreed (£65.00). The breakfast was good except for two things. One no-one was around when we went down and after we'd sat down, staff asked us to move. Two,... More

Hi, glad you enjoyed your break, I've tried to get to the bottom of 'kippergate' and it seems the chef misunderstood one of the waiters so apologies (who decided that kippers should be served at breakfast anyway !!!!! I've never understood that.) The reason you got an upgrade was that a very good friend of mine who recommend this Hotel... More

Friendly staff and comfortable surroundings make this 4 night stay an ideal break. The deal was diner B&B and included a £50 credit at the bar as well as 10% off the original cost. The rooms were large, clean, warm and comforable. The food was simple, plentiful and very good. The whole atmosphere made you relax and enjoy. The pool... More

Hello, what a lovely review, we are all delighted. Yes, you are correct......the deals we have on at the moment are amazing and customers have really appreciated them in what you say are 'difficult financial times'. Thanks for highlighting the fact that we are great value for money. Best Regards Chris Stanton G.M More

Hello, glad to see that you enjoyed your wee break and thanks for such a prompt post.

Just had a 5 day Shearings coach holiday staying at the Pitlochry Hydro. The hotel was excellent. The public rooms are all comfortable and nicely decorated. Good choice of food served by pleasant attentive staff. Bar service very efficient, there was no queue at all despite it being all-inclusive! Our driver, George, was very professional and knowledgeable and provided commentary... More

Staff friendly & efficient. Food good choice and plentiful, quick service by pleasant waiters. Choice of meal times and tables of choice despite being with a coach party. Entertainment every night.

Arrived about 10 minutes after booking on laterooms. Not a great price, but for what we got, I think it was fair. We arrived late on, so did not have dinner, and therefore cannot comment on that aspect of the hotel. The reception and bar area are quite newly refurbished from the looks of things. There was entertainment on when... More

Thanks for the review, we shortened the length of breakfast due to being so quiet at this time of year with intentions to create a bit of ambience in a large dining area. I can promise you we have had our heating on full blast to ensure our guests comfort but it has been particularly cold on random nights. Hopefully... More

Well......................it is very tempting to retaliate here as I have a very different version of events from long serving members of staff. I suppose we will just have to accept that every now and then this will happen! With nearly forty thousand bednights sold per year at this Hotel we record very few 'horrible' posts as a percentage and I... More
