Pros:

I liked to decor in the hotel. The room was lovely.

Cons:

I did not like being charged twice for our stay. The hotel took payment and so did Booking.com. I booked through Booking.com for our stay so that should have been the only money taken in payment.

Fraudsters, Unclean, Dirty
Pros:

The location and history of the hotel.

Cons:

Rooms were unclean, dirty wine glass on nightstand... Told the front desk I wasn't staying there and cancelled the remaining days. They have never refunded me for the nights I did not stay there. Recent positive reviews are fake.

Sehr tolles Hotel, sehr gutes Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis, gratis Parkplätze und optimale Lage.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr gut, das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Tolles Mittag- und Abendessen, toller Gastgarten im Freien. Optimal für Familien oder Gäste mit Hunde. Abends ist es auch ein gemütlicher Treffpunkt im Ort (Pub), einschließlich Tratsch mit Einheimischen, wer möchte.

Cons:

Der Wäscheberg im obersten Stock müsste nicht sein.

I feel extremely letdown.
Cons:

I was put in a room outside the main building that was not at all clean or functional to stay in. I will never stay here again.

It was a convenient and reasonably priced stay but the hotel needs some sprucing up!
Pros:

It is in a great location
There was tea and coffee and biscuits in the room.
The staff were pleasant and helpful.
It was not too expensive.

Cons:

It is a bit tired . The bathrooms are old and not spotless. There was no shower gel in the dispenser. One of our party had an uncomfortable nights sleep because of springs in the mattress. It was quite noisy with creaky floorboards from people walking in the corridors. The curtains in the bedroom didn’t fit or close properly. The bedside lamp did not work.

The hotel was conveniently located but the experience was disappointing.
Pros:

The hotel location is central to Dunkeld. My bed was firm (I dislike soft beds).
The staff were polite, well presented and did their best to help.
The bacon in my breakfast was thick, cooked nicely and enjoyable.

Cons:

My room overlooked Athol street and suffered high road noise due to the single glazed window, wedged closed with cardboard. The room felt cramped, would have better suited a single bed instead of double and the TV blocked the window. I found the bed uncomfortable.
My Indian meal was very mediocre, having a strange flavour and containing quite tough meat. My "Full Scottish breakfast" looked small on the plate, had a cheap sausage and single small fried egg.
The building is clearly historic but appeared to need a major refresh.
