Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property was run down. Room was comfortable but toilet did not flush, the seal on the shower was broken and the curtains did not cover the window. When we asked the noisy Halloween disco if they could go ish the music they insisted on continuing until after midnight even though there was nobody there.

Very old building and it was a little confusing trying to find the entrance. Room was on the top floor which was a bit difficult for my elderly father.

1 night stay
1 night stay on way home.Sadly quite typical of Scottish Hotels run down & shabby.Staff nice & food good .Bathroom small but clean shower door hanging off.Room very warm & window didn't open.
The hotel was conveniently located and clean. It was not easy to find staff to check in or get room supplies. The room was clean, but spare. No towel rack, no tissue, no pictures on walls. Lacked appeal. Seemed like a dorm room. Breakfast choices were plentiful and well prepared. Pub was cozy and convenient. Pub and dining staff were friendly and helpful.
The heat didn't work in Unit 202. On the second day the lovely receptionist gave me a space heater. She was great, the best.
The two regulars in the bar area were awful. They were looking for fights. Big disappointment.
Great location and clean.
Internet worked great. Overall a nice stay.
Hotel felt fairly dirty and run down, very under staffed. Room rate was expensive and didn’t include breakfast.
General feel was that the hotel has ‘given up on life’, is merely surviving on the over flow business they get during wedding season by charging ridiculous rates knowing people have little option.
The few staff that were there were very pleasant but sadly not enough to make me ever want to stay at this overpriced sinking ship again.

Plenty to explore good for walks etc very friendly people x we ate out which was fantastic food x
Had an overall good stay at hotel with my one year old son. Just a beautiful location on the map and our favourite place to visit, Dunkeld. We were in the Annex which is just, well, one room and toilet/electric shower. My opinion would be a slight bit work needing done more to the decorative side of things. Staff were nice for basically 30seconds but that’s all I had to deal with them to be fair, but very nice overall.
The hotel is in a great , central location. Although the hotel is a bit tired, the staff were really welcoming and lovely and the service excellent. We would definitely return
Overpriced for a room that barely could fit in a double bed. TV swamped the room. Paint peeling off walls and window frames, with black mould on them. Bathroom the size of a wardrobe in which you had to be a contortionist to use the toilet if you were taller than a midget. Luke warm (maybe 22-23C) “hot” water for a shower the next morning. At that temperature the water system will be prone to legionnaires disease. No one at reception to complain to. We had booked breakfast with them, but if the chefs had no hot water to wash their hands, what would the kitchen cleanliness be like? We cancelled breakfast with them and had a lovely breakfast at May’s cafe down the road.
Avoid. Camp under the bridge over the river instead.

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.
