Le rapport qualité / prix est complètement injuste et injustifié
Pros:

À part la localisation qui est bien, l’hôtel est hyper vieillot, le lit avec des ressorts en fer que vous sentez toute la nuitée contre vos côtes et la rumeur qu’ils produisent. Le wifi ne fonctionnait pas pendant tout le séjour. La salle de bain qui était dans son état d’origine probablement les années 1960… Le personnel insuffisant… Un hôtel à oublier

Mooie locatie, gluurkamer
Pros:

Mooie locatie, goed eten.

Cons:

De kamer die ik had, nummer 200, heeft een raam in de deur met een rolluik ervoor, alleen zit er een kier van 5 cm, dus iedereen kan zo je kamer ingluren, ik heb hier een handdoek voor gehangen.

Pros:

Friendly staff. The Bothy bar was nice.
The bed mattress was comfortable.

Cons:

It was SO tired inside - not been modernised or updated for literally decades. Bedroom terribly dated.
Terrible sticky toffee pudding - dry not sticky! Don’t know why they choose to serve this product, when there are so many good ones out there.
WiFi very poor.

Pros:

L'hôtel est très sympathique, le pub qui lui est attaché propose de la nourriture simple mais de qualité. La proximité de Blair Atholl est un gros avantage, en restant plus au calme qu'à la ville voisine (Pitlochry).

Cons:

Les chambres sont très inégales : sur trois chambres louées, une était exceptionnelle les autres assez quelconque. Attention au bruit de la gare pour les personnes qui y sont sensibles.
