The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

The breakfasts were very good, with plenty of choice and local options. Our room was a good size and the bathroom had been quite recently refurbished. It was worth the extra cost for a room with a view, and the hotel has good options to upgrade if they are not full. Parking was plentiful and easy and the beer garden was a pleasant place to sit. Given the age and style of the hotel, we expected, but liked, the slightly faded glory of the place.

Upon our arrival we were unable to find a parking space in close proximity to the hotel reception whilst we offloaded our luggage. Being disabled, we parked up at the entrance, intending to move our vehicle to the ample parking facility in the area opposite the hotel, after registering in at reception. I explained the situation to Connell Morton, who was on reception duty at the time, and he very kindly allowed us sufficient time to offload our luggage and sign in. No sooner had we signed in when Connor went outside and returned with the news that he had found an acceptable parking space for us close to the doorway. A very commendable response to our parking problem. Our visit just got better and better as every staff member we encountered was very helpful and courteous. We certainly enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again when next in the area.

Beautiful location. We've been to Pitlochry many times, stayed at various hotels there. The staff were helpful and friendly. Spring is a nice time of year for a long weekend away. We enjoyed lovely breakfasts and it's great that they cater for people with food intolerances. I usually have to ask for lactose free milk, and sadly most say they can't help. At the Hydro, I found 3 different milks I could have! Enjoyed cereal and tea/coffee. Buffet style breakfast was delicious. Staff kept checking everything was perfect. Also enjoyed our evening meals, good choice and good value. Wide selection of drinks at the bar in a relaxing atmosphere. Our room had a lovely view, was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed using the leisure facilities. Car park nice and close and adequate spaces. Might take our dog with us next time.

Lovely big room and very spacious

The dining room staff were very helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much of a problem. The bedroom was very spacious, and although very basic furnishings, it was warm and comfortable - all that we were looking for during our stay.
