Pros:

We loved everything, especially the convenient dining options along the River and available Parking. Breakfast was good - nothing lacking!

Cons:

Unfortunately our Room was very Small - there may be other options, but larger luggage is not an option, especially with stairs if you are in any way challenged with mobility.

Would love to go back. Ideal place to visit. Beautiful town. The rooms were lovely.
Pros:

It was beautiful. Clean. Cosy. Smelt lovely!!!

Cons:

The other residence!! They were loud, banging doors, arguing, knocking each others doors late at night. Generally bad mannered. Which was a real shame as that’s nothing to do with the hotel & they were lovely about it

Fantastic location, Dunkeld is a lovely town and this place is the cherry on top
Pros:

Fantastic location, great fascilities and Dunkeld is such an amazing place. Would highly recommend if you have a car going to the local attractions. Furhtermore, really good little walks about the place. Lastly, the place is fantastic, roomy, wholesome and a good little kitchen!

Cons:

The glasses in the rooms were a little dirty, with what looked like a bit of a melted sweet at the bottom. No idea why but it took seconds to pour some boiling water in it and clean it so it wasnt really an issue.
