Nice old hotel with a very spacious room.
Pros:

Dunkeld is a place full of tourists, but we needed a place to stay so we could hear a concert in nearby Birnam, so we were happy to have such a nice large room with windows that opened, and a large comfy bed. The breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

The toilet usually didn’t flush which was surprising in a fairly expensive place. Also, the parking is very difficult. The latter is not the hotel’s fault; the town is not built for so many tourists, but we did have to work really hard to find a place to park, and then bring our suitcases from the other end of town. Again….no fault of the hotel.

Not worth the cost
Pros:

Needed a room close to Dunkeld House Hotel at the last minute due to a room shortage at Dunkeld House Hotel. It was the closest to Dunkeld House.
The staff were really great when my husband left sone clothes behind and arranged for Royal Mail to collect them and return them to us (we arranged the label) Really appreciated that.

Cons:

Absolutely overpriced for a fairly average room, at almost £500 for 2 nights. Cost the same as the room we’d booked at Dunkeld House Hotel that my daughter ended up staying in. The room here was by far inferior and we felt very ripped off.
