Läget och naturen runtomkring.

Pros:

The breakfast was great and the global decor. Nice persons there. Nice bar/restaurant.

Cons:

The bedroom was small, and the bed not comfortable. 8 days in differents hotels and guesthouses across the country and it was the less comfortable unfortunetaly. It was also the most expensive one of our trip, we were waiting a bit more about the room size.

Pros:

Ein wunderschönes Haus, gute Lage und Parkplätze vor dem Haus. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und.das Frühstück sehr lecker.

Cons:

Als Alleinreisende habe ich ein Zimmer bekommen, das durch eine Extratür abgetrennt war, was zur Folge hatte, dass ich kein WLAN hatte. Das Bad war winzig und die Dusche kaum zu benutzen, weil der Wasserdruck viel zu schwach und die Einstellung der Temperatur kaum möglich war. Das Bett war leider sehr unbequem, es bestand nur aus zwei aufeinander gelegten Matratzen.

Great pub and dig friendly stay over
Pros:

Conveniently located in Blair Atholl near Blair Castle. We used this hotel as an overnight stop on our way back from North Scotland. Dog friendly albeit in the room and in the Pub. The hotel bar and restaurant does not accommodate dogs.

The Bothy Bar /Pub in the hotel is cosy and dog friendly with a specific dog menu. During our stay we noticed that most of the guests were having a drink and a meal in tje pub.

Cons:

The standard room is on the small side. We travelled as a couple with a dog so it was a bit of a squeeze. Suggest to move up a room for more space. The bed was a bit squeaky and lumpy.

Ok but not great.
Pros:

Clean and spacious room and bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast in the beautiful dining room. Good dog walk on the doorstep. Plenty of parking.

Cons:

The room (no. 100) was rather shabby. There was no bedside table, lamp or plug socket on the right-hand side of the bed. Some of the furniture was falling to pieces. The bathroom had nowhere to put any toiletries - just a tiny glass shelf above the basin. Both plugs had come away from their chains. The shower was very feeble. The wifi was hopeless!
