Enjoable and comfortable.
Pros:

The decor was beautiful, the staff were knowledgable and helpful and the hotel was comfortable. the location was excellent, and the food choices were really good.

Cons:

The room was on the second floor with no lift, so it was a bit of a struggle with the cases. the room had a lovely view but was short of drawer storage/

Super, außer der Lärm in der Nacht
Pros:

Wirklich eine tolle Unterkunft. Wunderschöne Zimmer, schöne Aussicht und super freundliches Personal.
Auch das Essen war genial.

Cons:

Das Einzige das wirklich negativ war, war der Lärm in der Nacht aufgrund der Kanaldeckel vor dem Hotel. Man hörte jedes Auto und leider sind auf dieser Straße sehr viele Autos unterwegs.
Schlafen konnte man erst später, wenn dann nicht mehr so viele Autos gefahren sind. Da sollte man wirklich was dagegen tun. Auch wenn es ein ansonsten ein toller Aufenthalt war, würden wir es aufgrund des Lärms nicht nochmal buchen.

Enjoyed our stay room lovely would recommend.
Pros:

The breakfast was nice , there was everything you need available. The room was nice tea and coffee available very clean , king size bed and a nice temperature.

Cons:

My only criticism of the room is the shower was over a roll top bath and was slippery getting in and out no bath at . Also £11 for a glass of wine seems abit to much .

Beautifully located river-side hotel with amazingly friendly staff
Pros:

A charming hotel with lovely decor, nice lounge and an amazing outdoor garden by the river. The room was a good size with comfy bed. I'd have liked a slightly roomier shower, but a good forceful hot water supply. The staff were all amazing - really friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The dreadful muzak in the dining spaces - really inane bad orchestral versions of almost-recognisable songs!

Attractive old hotel on banks of the Tay in historic Dunkeld
Pros:

Old hotel in beautiful location on banks of River Tay. Good comfortable room, good breakfast and food in restaurant. Free parking

Cons:

Room was located on outer side of the property on the main road through Dunkeld…vehicles started crossing the bridge at 6am…also a Coop food store opposite generating early noise

A high price to pay for a few nights away in an average room
Pros:

A central location with a beer garden on the riverside. The staff were all lovely.

Cons:

The beer garden remained closed for the 3 days that we were there. The menu was the same regardless of which restaurant you ate at. The food was ok but I wouldn’t describe it as outstanding. Room 6 despite being a deluxe room has no view whatsoever unless you count the roof of the building next to it which had a black tarp over it.
