Peaceful oasis in Pitlochry
Pros:

What a gem! The hotel has classic elegance and stunning views of Pitlochry. The bed was very comfortable. It is sooooo quiet and peaceful there. Full disclosure, there is no elevator, so all rooms will require you to climb stairs. The very helpful staff will happily carry your bags upstairs, though.
I hated to leave!

Quality Hotel
Pros:

It is a couple of years since we last visited. We were pleased to it has lost nothing of its charm.

This time we stayed in a Premier Room in the tower part (Room 4) in early June. We didn't have the benefit of a visit to the Festival Theatre on this occasion, as we visited on a night when the theatre didn't have something on. Nevertheless, it gave us more time to sit and relax for dinner at The Knockendarroch. The meals here are exceptional. You occasionally hear the term 'to die for' but this was certainly true of the starter in Filo pastry - an absolute triumph, delicate and packed full of natural flavours.

Everything here is to a high standard and oozes class without being 'stuffy'. Our evening meal was to the accustomed high standard, as was breakfast.

We hope to return again soon.
