The staff was extremely friendly. Shout out to the older man running breakfast cooking and serving solo,wasn’t easy since there were so many people. The hotel itself was older but had charm.

I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.

Short break in Dunkeld

Hotel in lovely location on Dunkeld Main Street. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice room. However the place needs some TLC with worn / uneven carpets, windows and cupboards in communal areas needing repair. Dunkeld is a very nice place. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby and lovely walking both along the river from the town and further afield to Loch of the Lowes and The Hermitage (NTS).

A stopover on our way home. The hotel could be described as ‘tired’ but was more than made up for by the super friendly staff.
