Revisited
Pros:

The hotel is a comfortable, the room was small and at the two flights of stairs. As we were only staying one night. Perhaps they could have considered the age and fitness of the customer when allocation the rooms.

Cons:

The hotel had an electric charge point which was good but at £15 per charge 3 times my normal price for a public charge point. Note I have a hybrid and that is what I pay for 11kw.

Pros:

Wunderschönes Hotel in einem alten Gebäude, mit allem Komfort und sehr guter Lage im malerischen Ort Pitlochry. Schöne Ausblicke auf den Ort, zu Fuß in fünf Minuten zur Haupt-Einkaufsstraße mit Geschäften und Restaurants. Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, schönes Ambiente im Kaminzimmer für einen Drink am Nachmittag. Das sehr freundliche Service hat den Aufenthalt für uns perfekt abgerundet.

Agréable séjour
Pros:

La situation au calme . Hôtel joliment décoré et personnel attentionné. Chambre d'angle très agréable.

Cons:

Pas de prise près du lit mais ce n'est qu'un détail.
La salle de bain manque un peu de charme et l'utilisation de la douche un peu compliquée mais une fois maîtrisée au top.

An excellent stay spoiled
Pros:

This was our second visit to the Knockendarroch Hotel, and the review I left in 2024 still generally stands – “The Knockendarroch has excellent staff, excellent food and lovely rooms. The key to a stay here is that - everything just works.”

Except that this time, one of the most important things did not work – the billing! We had booked and prepaid a dinner, bed and breakfast rate for two nights. On coming to settle the final bill – just drinks over the two nights, the bill also included dinner for one night and an extra bottle of wine. To an extent, hotel bills have to be taken on trust but on this occasion the excess charge was easily spotted; almost £200 of incorrect charges. To be fair, it was quickly corrected – but it should not have happened. One mistake – perhaps. Two mistakes - smacks of carelessness. Disappointing.
