Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and offered fine views. The small balcony provided lovely views over the town, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The service was top-notch with extremely well-trained and welcoming staff, especially Violet. The location was perfect, set back enough to be quiet with good views over Pitlochry and the surrounding countryside. The dining experience was exceptional with a great menu offering a variety of choices. Overall, a great value for money.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The balcony room offered me a fantastic view across the town and beautiful countryside, making for a truly relaxing experience. The bed and furnishings were lovely, ensuring a good night's sleep. The hotel's location was ideal, being far enough from town to avoid traffic noise but still only a short walk to all the shops.
I stayed at this hotel and found the rooms to be pristine in their cleanliness with lovely views, especially from the top floor overlooking Pitlochry. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with fluffy towels and superb views of Pitlochry mountain through large dorma windows, despite being up 2 flights of stairs with no lift. The service was very welcoming, helpful, and friendly, with some refinement in quality, and the staff were super efficient yet still friendly. The location was close enough to the main street to walk easily yet far enough away to be peaceful, within private grounds just 200 meters from the Main Street in an elevated position. The dining options were plentiful with cooked fresh to order choices and the whole experience was top-notch. Additionally, the hotel boasts lovely facilities such as log fires, adding to the cozy atmosphere.
My stay at The Knocendarroch Hotel was fantastic. The rooms were modern and clean with a comfortable bed, and the lounge had an extensive whisky selection, perfect for cozy evenings. The views overlooking Pitlochry and the hills were breathtaking. The service was exceptional, with personal touches like a birthday message on my plate. The location was ideal, close to the high street yet quiet for relaxation. The dining experience was a delightful start to the day with delicious options. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing stay.
