The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel

B'fast was good, room was clean with comfortable bed and staff were friendly and helpful. Location was nice and quiet.

The breakfasts were amazing, always well stocked and fresh and for the price good value for money as there was more that enough food to fill up for the day! The entertainment on the Saturday evening was what would be expected off season, entertaining but never going to win Britains Got Talent or X-Factor.

Well organised and well maintained. Reception staffed and helpful. Great view. Good breakfast choice. Good sized pool. Dinner very good and sensible set menu price. Outdoor areas with plenty seating. Spacious room and even our son's single room was fine. Hotel was apparently busy but didn't feel busy; no queues for coffee machine at breakfast, plenty places to sit, changing room quiet and had pool to ourselves so all very relaxed.

Lovely traditional hotel in a beautiful setting. Our room ( room 5) was huge and had very modern new furnishings. My adult son and I had a great sleep in the twin beds. Very comfortable and good quality linen. Bathroom was new and very clean. Great shower with very good pressure and soap/ bodywash smelled lovely. The room was on the ground floor beside the leisure centre and pool, so after 5pm there was no traffic past it and at night we couldn't hear a thing! Staff were smashing from Stephen on reception to the bar staff/ serving staff in the restaurant. All were very pleasant, chatty, helpful and hardworking. We had dinner one night in the restaurant. Very good standard of food and service. Would definitely eat there again. Overall, we would happily stay again in this very pleasant hotel. We would get a Superior room, same as this time, as it was modern, cosy and spacious with a great bathroom. Parking was good and close to the hotel doors, although since the hotel was full when we stayed, it filled up fast and I think some guests didn't move their cars the whole weekend, possibly so that they were certain of a parking space to avoid having to park down in the town...which is at the bottom of a very steep hill. The hotel's elevated position in beautiful gardens means it has great views, but the walk back up from the town, if you venture there without your car, might prove a bit strenuous for less able bodied folk. Notwithstanding this, we would certainly stay again. Smashing short break in a very nice traditional old hotel. Thanks, guys! Great stay overall!

The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel is a building that immediately evokes a sense of former glory. Its stately, old-world charm is evident from the outside and this feeling continues as you step inside. The interior is a fascinating and sometimes quirky mix of old and new, where ancient door knobs and well-worn carpets sit alongside modern amenities like a television and telephone in the rooms. The building retains its original character, right down to the windows, which are single-glazed and add to the authentically ancient feel. The outdoor patio is a fantastic spot to sit and relax and the bar is a welcoming space, occasionally featuring live music. The hotel also boasts a massive car park, which is a definite plus.
